ComPass B 2.0
Directional fault indicator with monitoring and control function
The ComPass B 2.0 is suitable for use in substations with a remote control connection of the electrical power distribution in a medium-voltage network. In addition to the short-circuit and earth fault function, ComPass B 2.0 supplies the collected measured values of current, voltage and power from the station for transmission to the control room.
The PT-100 sensor measures the temperature of the transformer or the transformer station. For all measured values limits can be defined, which can also be transmitted to the control room.
The voltage coupling/measurement is done via the capacitive VDIS* system and/or via resistive (ohmic) voltage sensors. With the simultaneous measurement, the voltage measurement of the VDIS system can be automatically calibrated with the resistive voltage measurement. Up to four ComPass B can be connected to one set of resistive voltage sensors.
