We’re beginning to experience the first storms of spring as winter slowly wanes and the weather starts to get warmer. Most storms are nothing to be frightened about, but it’s important to be prepared, nonetheless. Protect against unplanned outages with AMETEK Power Instruments’ advanced equipment and monitoring systems. Our
products can help you quickly detect and resolve an outage during severe storms.
Our Digital Fault Recorders (DFRs) are equipped with extensive triggering and recording capabilities that ensure you never miss an event. The flexible triggering options make it easy to capture even the most complex system anomalies, which can occur during intense storms. Our DR-300 and TR-3000 DFRs are highly reliable. They incorporate a low-power, fan-less operation with no moving parts and a 64 GB solid state drive for long-term storage. Each system is designed to record high resolution data over a long period of time to give you a complete view of the system disturbance, allowing you to diagnose the problem.
Torrential downpours can lead to a host of problems including the shutdown of your critical processes. Equipping your plant with AMETEK Power Instruments’ worry-free annunciators provides you with peace of mind that no alarm will be missed when activated. Our Series 90B and AN-3200 Alarm Annunciators use the latest technology to sense when a process’ condition has entered an abnormal state. Both annunciators utilize very bright, long-life LED bulbs for visual indication of all alarms, ensuring that you’ll never miss an event for years to come.
For more than 100 years, the power industry has relied on power line carriers for critical applications. Our UPLC-II is the most versatile power line carrier available, incorporating the latest technologies to assist you in application, installation and maintenance of your power line carrier systems. In events of unpredictable weather, the UPLC-II acts as a source of reliable communication to provide remote tripping functions for transformer protection, shunt reactor protections and remote breaker-failure relaying.
Power Line Carrier loss is likely during times of power surges caused by severe spring weather. Smart Gaps provide protection and minimize the potential loss of the carrier during a surge. Interruptions in communication can cause miss-operations in protective relay systems resulting in over trips, delayed trips and false permission to trip. Our Smart Gap prevents the impact of surge-induced loss, also known as carrier holes, by quickly clearing the surge to minimize the communication interruption. Surges are extinguished by the Smart Gap in less than 0.5 milliseconds, minimizing your signal loss and protecting your critical processes.
