Digital Fault Recorder

Scalable, Economical Fault Analysis

The Digital Fault Recorder system, based on the D25 and integrated Substation Control System, is an effective way to accurately record and analyze substation events while avoiding the excessive added costs of standalone digital fault recorders.

Features & Benefits

This scalable system can accommodate virtually any number of analog or digital channels by employing peer-to-peer communications to cross-trigger a set of D25s. This allows you to collect a full set of data on the condition of your network.

Through the PC-based DirectView and PowerLink workstation viewers, you can get a virtual snapshot of the system at the time of the fault and trace the incident with dexterity. You can clearly determine the order of events, and the performance and health of the breakers. The DirectView tool makes it easy for you to zoom in on and compare event records. With these capabilities as well as online configuration, unique de-trigger functions and 240 cycles of storage, you no longer need to travel to the site to carry out post-fault analysis.

The Digital Fault Recorder system lowers installation costs by combining the SCADA and Digital Fault Recorder systems:

  • One set of hardware
  • One set of wiring
  • One communication system
  • One system to commission
  • One system to maintain
