Voltage-Based-Timing measurement, or VTM, indicates that the voltage of a medium voltage switchgear in service is used to detect the state of the main contacts.

The easiest way to do this is to use the Voltage Detection System, or VDS, of the switchgear.

In this video, Andreas Nenning, OMICRON product manager of the CIBANO 500, shows how this is done:

00:00 - Introduction
01:16 - How to connect to the VDS interface with the circuit breaker test set
02:54 - How to accurately measure the states of the main contacts
03:49 - How to record the voltages of the primary conductors and how to get the calculated operation times.

????✅ DANEO 400 is a hybrid measurement system that records and analyzes all conventional signals (voltages, currents, hard-wired binary status signals) and messages on the communication network in a substation. It measures signals from both of these worlds and can provide information to assess their proper coordination. The device keeps track of what is going on in the substation by obtaining information on the operational status and communication.

????✅ Substations can be an attractive target for cyber attacks. When it comes to cybersecurity in the power grid, people often only think about the security of the IT infrastructure and the control center. The networks inside the substations are often neglected in the risk assessment. Andreas Klien, expert in the field of cybersecurity for substations, gives an insight into how you can gain full control over activities in the network and why a firewall is not sufficient as protection in the substation. He refers to three frequently asked questions by our customers.
