Protecting the Electric Power Grid
From sens-usa.com

Substations are vital to the electric power grid - they reduce transmission voltages to usable levels, distribute power in multiple directions and include specialized circuit breakers to isolate portions of the grid in case of a downed power line or other problems.

DC power with battery backup is the preferred source of power for substation circuit breakers and controls because the equipment must operate whether or not AC grid power is available. Reliable SENS chargers are widely used in the US power grid, and in substations in South America, the Middle East and Asia. SENS chargers thus form a vital link in delivering dependable, safe electric power.

 


Products & Services
Power generation systems are power generators and related systems that are used in power plants or large-scale power generation facilities.
Specialty electrical distribution and protection products are specialty or proprietary products related to electrical distribution and circuit protection.
Electrical power sensors are used to measure electric power.
Power line network components use existing electrical power lines as carriers for data communications signals. Typically, they have lower bandwidths compared to networks utilizing dedicated fiber optic or twisted pair carriers.
RF and wireless chips are integrated circuits (IC) that are designed specifically for radio frequency (RF), microwave, and other wireless communications or data transmission applications.
