An Introduction to Digital Switchgear
An Introduction to Digital Switchgear
Abstract:
The Medium Voltage (MV) Digital Switchgear is based on the combination of
technologies such as current and voltage sensors and IEC 61850 communication
protocol which will be incorporated into modern microprocessor-based relays (IEDs).
When these technologies are combined in an optimal way to increase safety, reduce
space, equipment weight, internal point to point wirings and energy usage of traditional
CTs, flexibility towards changing load flows, the ability to more easily handle last minute
load changes, quicker delivery times and the possibility of late customization.
This presentation will cover the background and characteristics of Digital Switchgear
and contrast it with the tradition switchgear. Two key component technologies and
standards for current and voltage sensors and IEC 61850 based protection and control
will be reviewed.
