Protective Devices for Automation and Process Control Applications

Protective and predictive devices become extremely essential in order to prevent sudden shutdowns of heavy types of machinery. Such type of devices holds a great significance, especially in processes associated with industrial automation and process control applications. Let us discuss some of the protective devices such as the   Generator Controller  and potentiometer and more.

First of all, let us understand that heavy types of machinery and certain applications that cannot afford to be shut down any moment require to control ground-fault voltage on driven equipment. In order to prevent so, there is an electrical supply system known as High Resistance Grounding (HRG is short). This electrical supply system is used frequently in a certain type of application. These systems cannot depend on overcurrent protective devices to protect against ground faults. These devices can be circuit breakers and fuses. Most of the time, the ground faults remain on the system until they are repaired. It is vital to repair such faults, in an orderly manner, which must be very well planned. Designed to be used in a variety of industrial automation and process control applications, a potentiometer with motor or generally called as Motorized Potentiometer  tends to give speed reference to any electronic regulator or controllers (AVR controllers).

This device can be used with synchronizing and load sharing units. It is used for speed controls, flow meters, tensioning motors, et cetera. A type of device that is designed to indicate the degree, to which two systems are synchronized with each other, is known as Synchroscope. These two systems are generators and power networks. The main function of this device is to maintain the synchronization, which is essential for sharing the load on the bus bar of the power system. It ensures that the machines of equal frequency and voltage are operating parallel to each other.

There is a wide variety of such products including, High Resistance Grounding  systems, synchronizer, synchroscope, insulation detection devices, engine controllers and flex gen, alarm panels and predictive meters, et cetera. If you are looking for such solutions, you must consider approaching a trusted service provider.
