Designed for seamless integration into new and existing substations, our RTCC Panel provides unparalleled control, monitoring, and protection for your critical assets.

      Key Features & Functionality

      Our RTCC Panel is engineered with cutting-edge technology to deliver superior performance and reliability:

      • Advanced Voltage Regulation:

        • Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR): Intelligently senses and adjusts transformer tap positions to maintain voltage within pre-defined limits, compensating for load fluctuations and source voltage variations.
        • Manual Control: Provides local and remote manual tap change operation for maintenance and specific operational requirements.
        • Time-Delayed Operation: Configurable time delays to prevent unnecessary tap changes due to transient disturbances.
        • Line Drop Compensation (LDC): Calculates and compensates for voltage drop along the feeder, ensuring optimal voltage at the load center.
      • Multi-Transformer Parallel Control:

        • Automatic Parallel Operation: Seamlessly manages parallel transformers, ensuring balanced load sharing and preventing circulating currents.
        • Master/Follower Configuration: Assigns roles for coordinated tap changing, enhancing grid reliability.
        • Circulating Current Minimization: Advanced algorithms to reduce circulating current, improving transformer efficiency and extending lifespan.
      • Comprehensive Monitoring & Data Logging:

        • Real-time Data: Continuously monitors crucial parameters including voltage (HV/LV), current, power factor, active/reactive power, tap position, and temperature.
        • Event & Alarm Logging: Records all operational events, tap changes, and alarms with timestamps for diagnostics and fault analysis.
        • Historical Data Storage: Stores performance data for trend analysis, predictive maintenance, and capacity planning.
      • Robust Communication Capabilities:

        • SCADA Integration: Fully compatible with common SCADA protocols (IEC 61850, Modbus RTU/TCP, DNP3) for remote control, monitoring, and data acquisition.
        • Local HMI: High-resolution color graphic touch-screen Human Machine Interface for intuitive local operation, configuration, and data visualization.
        • Remote Access: Secure remote access for diagnostics, configuration updates, and software upgrades.
