Eaton SC200 V3 power system controller

The SC200 V3 power system controller for telecommunications network operators features automated site energy-control options.

It has two site-programmable options. Smart Alarms uses Boolean logic to control individual network sites automatically, across a range of site variables, for management of issues such as: peak grid-power periods or cooling by automatically controlling non-critical loads; intelligent management of cooling to reduce overall energy use; running an outdoor suburban power cabinet on low noise mode at night; or customising site alarms to match network management requirements.

The Eaton Fuel Saver (EFS) for hybrid network sites uses a diesel generator as a backup to a poor alternating current grid supply, or where the site runs entirely on generator, 24 hours a day, every day. EFS delays generator starts, first engaging the site’s battery bank to either bridge a grid power outage or delay the generator start for as long as possible, reducing diesel consumption and refuelling visits, and reducing generator wear and tear and servicing costs.
