6800 Series Automatic Switch Control

6800 Series Automatic Switch Control

6800 Series Automatic Switch Controls combine sophisticated automatic control schemes with RTU functionality, data logging, and advanced communication capabilities — in one integrated package.

6800 Series Controls manage distribution switches and can automatically sectionalize a feeder based on factors such as overcurrent, loss of voltage, and phase unbalance. A control can be ordered with, or upgraded to, the S&C IntelliTeam® SG Automatic Restoration Sytem, which enables multiple switch controls to work together as teams, that use peer-to-peer communication, and quickly transfer load and minimize the number of customers affected by a fault or outage.

6800 Series Automatic Switch Controls feature:

  • Automatic sectionalizing based on factors such as overcurrent, loss of voltage, or phase unbalance
  • Data logging, including overcurrent faults and daily high/low values
  • Stand-alone or SCADA operation
  • Support for a wide variety of communication hardware and software protocols
  • Sophisticated power supply/battery system
  • Compatible with the IntelliTeam® SG Automatic Restoration System
  • Easy-to-use IntelliLink® Setup Software

6800 Series Automatic Switch Controls can be applied with S&C overhead and underground switching and protection equipment including:

6800 Series Controls can also be applied with certain non-S&C-manufactured overhead switching and protection equipment including:

  • Cooper GWC Sectionalizers
  • Cooper F Switches
  • Cooper VFI Vacuum Fault Interrupters, and
  • Joslyn VBM Vacuum Switches

 

S&C offers a wide variety of communications hardware options and software protocols for our Switch Controls.

Note that not all options are not available with all configurations of Switch Controls. Check with your local S&C representative to discuss communications hardware and protocol availability for your specific application.

The hardware options include:

  • Landis+Gyr Series 4 Radio
  • MDS — Microwave Data Systems
  • ProSoft Technology
  • Telemetric™ DNP Remote Telemetry Module™
  • Fiber optic transceivers
  • Hayes™-compatible, CDMA, or GSM modems
  • Other communication devices are available.

Radios and modems may be factory-mounted inside most controls to save on installation costs.

Protocol options include:

  • DNP 3.0

You can upgrade the protocols in the field using IntelliLink® Setup Software, the Windows®-based program for interfacing with the control locally. This gives you a simple migration path to new protocol implementations.
