Franklin Electric INCON Optimizer3 Trip Signature Monitor
Franklin Electric INCON Optimizer3 Trip Signature Monitor
The INCON® Optimizer3 Trip Signature Monitor provides high-fidelity trip coil signature analysis for an unprecedented level of insight into circuit breaker performance. Proprietary TripTracer™ technology captures the waveform signature of each trip and close operation and compares it to a baseline to detect potential circuit breaker deficiencies and enable proactive maintenance actions.
- Accessory to the INCON® Optimizer3 Circuit Breaker Monitor
- Records and analyzes trip & close coil current signatures
- Compares each new signature to a baseline to detect deviations
- Signature deviations can identify breaker deficiencies
- Deviations can trigger user-configured threshold alarms
- Alarms can be used to apply data-driven maintenance
- Records signature, date, and time of each breaker operation
- Provides simplified NERC PRC-005 testing compliance
- SFTP communication protocol via COMTRADE or CSV files
- Can aid in deferring or eliminating offline testing
- Improves safety, minimizes truck rolls, reduces costs
SYSTEM OPERATION
Each INCON® Optimizer3 Trip Signature Monitor includes a hub, (3) coil current sensors, and CAT6 Ethernet connectors.
Trip & Close Coil Wiring & Current Sensors
The monitoring process begins with the Trip and Close Coil wiring being routed through the current sensors. The system utilizes 3 sensors — two for the trip coil wiring and one for the close coil wiring. These sensors capture the current waveforms during breaker operations.
Data Collection by the Trip Signature Monitor Hub
The Trip Signature Monitor Hub is responsible for collecting coil current measurements from the sensors. As the breaker operates, the Hub continuously monitors the current passing through the coils and relays it to the Optimizer3, ensuring that every detail is recorded accurately.
Trip Signature Retrieval and Analysis
TripTracer™ technology performs an in-depth analysis of the signature compared to the baseline. This analysis helps to identify any anomalies or deviations from the baseline, providing insights into potential issues within the breaker's latch mechanisms.
