Challenges
Voltage dip reduction
Connecting and disconnecting intermittent power sources such as wind or solar farms, Inrush current mitigation
pumped storage or gas power plans from the grid, may generate switching transients.
These transients can cause electrical stresses on critical substation equipment, such as Transformer stress limitation
power transformers, and can introduce power quality issues, such as high inrush currents
and voltage dips, into the system.

Switching Transients Mitigation

Self-Adaptation for High Accuracy

To provide and maintain switching accuracy, the CDS100 takes key circuit breaker condition data into consideration, including ambient
temperature, DC control voltage, driving pressure of hydraulic mechanisms, circuit breaker idle time, long term operation time drift,
and more.
