Low-voltage condition monitoring with SENTRON

Identify maintenance needs early with SENTRON software and avoid costly power failures and downtime. Our systems capture and analyze condition data from key components. This allows you to plan maintenance measures efficiently – without replacing fully functional components as a precaution.

Why monitor low-voltage power distribution?

Modern buildings and facilities depend on a reliable power supply – from building access and office IT to industrial equipment. Power failures not only interrupt operations, but can also cause significant damage. If a circuit breaker fails, the protection and reliability of the downstream power supply are at risk. In data centers, even one minute of downtime can cost up to $9,000.

The SENTRON software portfolio, including SENTRON Powercenter 3000 and SENTRON Powermanager, monitors power distribution in low-voltage systems. Analyzing the collected data reveals patterns that indicate malfunctions or impending device failures. This allows operators to take corrective action early, for example by adjusting maintenance intervals. Condition-based maintenance can reduce maintenance costs by up to 25%, increase productive time by up to 15%, and reduce unplanned technical failures by up to 70%.

Key benefits

Eye icon represents data insight

Gain transparency and discover the power of data

Condition monitoring solutions record, collect and analyze data from key components across low-voltage power distribution systems. With these insights, operators can make informed predictive maintenance decisions.

Improve system availability

Condition data identifies needs early, so maintenance measures can be planned ahead of time and coordinated with ongoing operations. This helps prevent unplanned shutdowns for safe, smooth operations.

Communication-capable hardware components

Communication-capable components can be integrated throughout the low-voltage power distribution system. The SENTRON portfolio includes SENTRON 3WA air circuit breakers, molded case circuit breakers commonly used as outgoing feeder circuit breakers, and modular installation devices like the SENTRON 3NA COM NH series fuse. For example, SENTRON 3VA2 molded case circuit breakers provide a health indicator and predicted remaining lifetime. Each component makes a specific contribution to the integrated condition monitoring concept.

Visualization and evaluation of condition data

Increased plant availability, more reliable operation, and more efficient maintenance: Operators benefit in many ways from condition monitoring for electrical power distribution. Condition data from communication-capable SENTRON protection, switching, and measuring devices is forwarded to SENTRON software solutions for low-voltage power distribution. There, it is visualized and evaluated. This helps detect imminent failures early and, in many cases, prevent them before they occur.
