| Article number | Mini RTU Cabinet series |
| Product description | The Mini RTU Cabinet is designed for Ring Main Unit (RMU) monitoring and control, functioning as an Intelligent Electronic Device (IED) or RTU. It excels in monitoring, measurement, fault indication (FPI), protection, and control tasks. This system ensures comprehensive remote monitoring, control, and maintenance communication with SCADA systems, incorporating battery backup and IEDs data concentration capabilities.
Its system architecture allows for extensive scalability, supporting an unlimited number of signals from the substation. The Mini RTU Cabinet is adaptable to a range of power supply voltages, from 10–220 V DC to 80–230 V AC, and includes multiple communication ports compatible with all current standards in power distribution control.
The system is equipped with high-accuracy 3-phase measurement and advanced fault detection, leveraging Elseta’s proprietary FPI technology. It can also integrate existing protection relay functionality for medium voltage (MV) feeders. For communication, the unit supports optical fiber connections and an integrated GSM/UMTS/LTE modem. It is compatible with various communication protocols, including IEC 60870-5-104, DNP3, and IEC 61850, among others, ensuring versatile and robust connectivity in diverse operational environments. |
