Switching

Monitors current during

breaking.
Est i mat es pri mary cont act
wear( idt)
Monitors arc duration.
Auxiliary and control circuits
Monitors operating coil
continuity.
Monitors auxiliary supply
voltage.
Monitors heater integrity.
CBWatch-2 continuously monitors circuit breaker condition. It signals in real time any
malfunction to maintenance services. Therefore, CBWatch-2 facilitates reduced
maintenance cost and failure risk.
CBWatch-2
Modular circuit breaker monitoring system
Optional functions
SF

Monitors gas pressure and
temperature and calculates the
SF or gas mixture density using
the Beattie-Bridgeman
algorithm.
Detects liquefaction and inhibits
false alarms in the event of
liquefaction.
Calculates SF leakage rates in
order to give advance warning
of alarm and lockout threshold
levels.
Mechanical operation
Monitors close and open
operating times.
Allows the use of conventional
auxiliary switches, static auxiliary
switches or primary contact
travel sensors.
Monitors primary contacts
separation speed, buffering and
over travel.
Detects deterioration in
mechanical performance
(friction, corrosion, breakage,
spring fatigue and buffer
defects).
Monitors auxiliary switch timing.

Spring operating mechanism
Monitors recharging motor
operating time.
Detects motor or motor limit
switch defects.
Hydraulic operating mechanism
Monitors pump motor operating
time.
Detects internal and external
leackage.
Detects nitrogen loss from
accumulator.
Detects threshold pressure on
hydraulic system.
