GEs CBWatch is a compact, modular,
online monitoring solution suitable for high voltage circuit
breaker. It records information using non-invasive sensors and
performs local real time monitoring of operational parameters
attached to key breaker functions. It looks for threshold
breaches, warns of any significant change in operating
performance and assembles an overall condition assessment of the
breaker.
It focuses on detecting even small
SF6 leaks as early as possible, trending the leak rate to help
you manage and optimize your gas refill operations and avoid any
costly environmental penalties.
The CBWatch also highlights the
need for any mechanical maintenance or arcing contact
replacement, eliminating yearly testing and fixed interval
overhauls and instead enabling a more cost effective and less
reactive condition based maintenance approach.
