Unmanned Transformer Substation Wireless Monitoring Application
How a 4G/5G router used in Unmanned Transformer Substation Monitoring System
A transformer substation converts power between bulk and local systems. As unmanned substations become more common, reliable operation is critical—requiring real-time monitoring of the main control room, transformers, circuit breakers, isolating switches, fire alarms, and video surveillance. Since many unmanned substations are in remote areas, wired monitoring is impractical; a WLINK 4G/3G router at each access point provides a stable cellular connection to the central monitoring center, eliminating the need for fiber or fixed lines.
