Abstract:
1. A system for monitoring an electrically operated switchgear device, said system comprising: at least one electrically operated switchgear device for electrical distribution, the switchgear device comprising at least one moving part and an electrically powered actuator configured to actuate the at least one moving part for opening and/or closing the at least one switchgear device, the at least one switchgear device further comprising at least one sensor configured to directly measure operational parameters of the electrically powered actuator; a control unit configured to receive state information including the sensor measurements of parameters of the electrically powered actuator from the at least one sensor, generate logs of the sensor measurements, the control unit analyzing the sensor measurements and the logs of the sensor measurements to determine a status of the at least one electrically powered actuator and, thereby, operational conditions of the at least one electrically operated switchgear device, and the control unit controlling opening and closing of the at least one switchgear device; and a display configured to present the state information in real time, present display alarms, present the logs, and display an interface configured to permit control of the at least one switchgear device and the control unit.
