Scada-Mate - Switching Systems
Scada-Mate Switches are integer style three-pole, group-operated load interrupter switches available in voltage ratings of 14.4 kV through 34.5 kV. They’re factory-assembled on a one-piece base and include an integral stored-energy operating mechanism. Circuit making and breaking are accomplished within sealed interrupters, in a controlled SF6 environment. All functions — sensing, control, and communication — are provided in one economical, completely self-contained, fully tested, integrated package.
Scada-Mate Switching Systems bring these vital advantages to your system:
- Remote fault isolation and service restoration. Minimize the scope and length of outages.
- System optimization. Through remote monitoring of feeder loading and automatic reconfiguration, you can better utilize your system . . . and defer capital expenses.
- A wide range of available control units to meet your needs.
- Available RTU-dependent sectionalizing schemes can be used for stand-alone automatic line sectionalizing (for open-loop distribution systems) and automatic network sectionalizing (for closed-loop distribution systems). Upgradable to full SCADA capability at any time.
A complete S&C Scada-Mate Switching System includes a 6801 Automatic Switch Control, which supports the IntelliTeam SG Automatic Restoration System. IntelliTeam SG is a universal solution for automating new and existing circuits, offering unmatched interoperability. Restoration speed is greatly enhanced when the control is furnished with a SpeedNet™ Radio. It combines extremely secure long-range communication, high-volume data transmission, and flexible mesh networking to provide benchmark performance for unlicensed radio networks.
Alternately, a Communication and Control Unit can be furnished, providing the interface between the switch and the master-station computer for distribution automation and other Smart Grid applications that don’t involve IntelliTeam SG.
High-speed operating linkages are housed within the Scada-Mate Switch base. With no external moving parts, full live-switching performance is assured under any and all ice conditions. Visible air-gap isolation of switched-open circuits — needed only when work on the feeder is required — is provided by an integral, hookstick-operated disconnect.
Two S&C Current Sensors and one S&C Current/Voltage Sensor provide three-phase monitoring of line current and single-phase monitoring of system voltage . . . eliminating the cost, clutter, and complexity associated with separately mounted sensors. Three-phase voltage sensing on one or both sides of the switch is optionally available. The integrated sensors, combined with single-point lifting, make installation quick and easy. The voltage sensors also provide battery-charging power for the automatic switch control or communication and control unit, eliminating the need to install a separate distribution transformer.
