Protection waterworks and wastewater treatment plants from outages

Today, modern electrical systems are often monitored using residual current measurement technology in order to detect insulation faults at an early stage and prevent failures. With the new SmartDetect residual current monitors from Bender, this is now even better, more accurate and more flexible. The devices are equipped with state-of-the-art measurement technology and ...

BESS are characterised by a high energy density, which significantly increases the risk of fire. In the event of an error, this can lead to intense fires that are difficult to control and cause considerable damage. Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are often realised as unearthed systems (IT systems). In the event of a first fault, only a very low fault current flow...

What is the reason for this? Inadequate insulation due to mechanical damage of power supply cables or brittle insulation of devices and lamps due to constant heating result in insulation faults which are one of the most common fire sources. But also low insulation resistance as a result of humidity and dirt increases the risk of fire. The consequences of insulation fault...
