SICAM EGS – Enhanced Grid Sensor

Why SICAM Enhanced Grid Sensor?

SICAM EGS (Enhanced Grid Sensor) is an all-in-one solution for enabling transparency in distribution substations and low-voltage grids. It provides permanent network monitoring for optimized utilization of existing infrastructure and fast error detection. This robust device combines all required features for network monitoring, including wiring-free monitoring of low-voltage feeders.

SICAM EGS combined with the NH series fuse SENTRON 3NA COM with current direction detection. This supports:

Retrofit solutions
Optimal overload and short-circuit protection
Secure detection of power flow direction
Fast fault diagnosis
Intelligent, data-based grid planning

Use cases for SICAM EGS include:

Power distribution monitoring
Asset monitoring
Grid connection monitoring
Communication gateway
IoT gateway

Key benefits

Conserve resources

Monitor the low-voltage network with only one device.

Operate with a small CO2 footprint

Use SICAM EGS remotely if needed, with minimal energy consumption and minimal maintenance effort required.

Get wiring-free monitoring of low-voltage feeders

SICAM EGS connects the SENTRON 3NACOM fuses from Siemens via a ZigBee connection. A highlight of the SENTRON 3NACOM fuses is the detection of the power flow direction.
