2024 InControl Fall Webinar Series

Multistage capacitor banks used in Power Factor Correction (PFC) systems involve multiple technical challenges like high-frequency inrush currents and pre-strikes & re-strikes causing voltage transients. To avoid all the potential impacts on the reliability and lifespan of the assets connected to the network, a dedicated medium voltage (MV) solution is needed for the so-called “noise–free” switching.

In this webinar, you will learn how servomotor based medium voltage devices can help mitigate the challenges associated with multistage capacitor banks applications through:

• Applications overview
• Technical challenges with PFC application
• Available product technology
• Key benefits for customers

Disturbance Fault Recorders (DFR) allow the analysis of power system events and provide root cause fault analysis by comparing fault data to captured pre-fault data. This webinar will examine real-life cases to explain the cause of a fault event and the corrective actions to increase system reliability.

Learn more about how to:

• Understand techniques for evaluation of fault records to help field operations.
• Troubleshoot errors during commissioning and start-up using test switches to isolate the relays.
• Provide a building block for advanced data analytics.
• Learn more about solutions that provide a safer, simpler, faster, and more reliable method to isolate, test, and service installed equipment without disturbing the power system.

As the demand for efficient and high-performance batteries continues to rise, understanding the aspects of cell and pack manufacturing is important for staying competitive in the industry. This webinar will cover solutions, best practices, and strategic approaches to cell and pack manufacturing to help ensure your products meet the highest quality and performance standards.

Learn more about solutions that can:

• Enhance continuous operation for a reliable manufacturing operation process.
• Improve safety and protection to reduce hazards and prevent downtime.
• Save space with compact and easy to install components for a quicker uptime.

Customers are facing new challenges due to changes in grid operational practices. Increased usage of single-phase switching devices, increased switching operations, and distributed generation are imposing new hurdles like ferroresonance. The growing demand for reduced footprint with increased demand for power delivery also poses challenges for customers that use metering and protection equipment.

This webinar will explore:

• Challenges in applications such as data centers, renewables, and distribution grids.
• Ways to mitigate these barriers using sensors and instrument transformers for both indoor and outdoor applications.
• Advantages of implementing these technologies to help enhance safety, reduce power consumption, and increase reliability.

In today's rapidly evolving industrial landscape, driven by Industry 4.0, the integration of automation and supervision systems in electrical plants is becoming increasingly essential. This presentation will explore the significance of advanced measurement and communication systems for plant control, highlighting the role of circuit breakers equipped with unique communication architecture. These devices are no longer just standalone protective components but are now crucial elements of the grid, enabling enhanced connectivity, data utilization, and automation.

Learn about:

• The evolution of circuit breaker technology into advanced control and automation tools.
• Integration of industrial communication protocols and cloud platforms in circuit breakers.
