Description

Description

The Franklin Grid INCON® Optimizer3 Circuit Breaker Monitor delivers advanced automated reporting of all critical circuit breaker diagnostics to ensure uptime and facilitate predictive maintenance. The Optimizer3 is ideal for high-voltage, live or dead-tank, oil, vacuum or gas circuit breakers.

EXTEND THE LIFE OF YOUR CIRCUIT BREAKER

With early detection of circuit breaker deficiencies and automated system performance evaluation, the Optimizer3 Circuit Breaker Monitor provides utilities with the tools to help improve efficiency, extend equipment service life, and enhance reliability of their systems.

COMPLETE CIRCUIT BREAKER DIAGNOSTICS

With 8 sensor inputs, 5 timing inputs, and an onboard ambient temperature sensor and supply voltage monitor, the Optimzer3 and its array of sensors deliver a complete diagnostics report of a circuit breaker’s performance. Utility technicians are empowered with the data to repair a small issue before it causes a substantial failure that may require equipment replacement or even an entire overhaul of a high-cost asset.

LOOK INSIDE THE BREAKER CABINET

With 8 sensor inputs, 5 timing inputs, and an onboard ambient temperature sensor and supply voltage monitor, the Optimizer3 Circuit Breaker Monitor and its array of sensors deliver a complete diagnostics report of a circuit breaker’s performance. Click on each breaker cabinet component to see how.

DATA COMMUNICATION

Performance data is delivered through standard network communication protocols to maintenance, reliability, and environmental protection stakeholders with role-based access and permissions.

SETUP & CONFIGURATION

Remotely setup and program, clear and reset alarms, install firmware upgrades. Personnel can also save, download and copy configurations between breakers.

REPORTING

Circuit breaker performance and SF6 gas compliance reports for regulatory agencies can be easily generated and exports in CSV format.
