LoadFlow-Box // Digitalised load flow measurement

// Description

Up to 8 low-voltage outlets of a local network station can be monitored with one BentoNet LoadFlow package. The combination of several packages is possible. The main function is the detection of phase currents per low-voltage feeder. In addition, the flow direction is recorded and the neutral conductor current is calculated via the additionally recorded mains voltage. In this way, insights into the load distribution can be gained, and the influences of electromobility and generation plants in the grid can be evaluated. The evaluation itself takes place in the associated BentoNet LoadFlow application, which visually processes all measured parameters. At the same time, it is possible to set limit and threshold values, and warnings can be issued if these are exceeded.

Compact plastic housing with module support for up to 8 Powermeter devices and integrated LTE data gateway. Three flexible current sensors are supplied per Powermeter to detect the individual phases. The connection cables are 7 m long and can be shortened. Data transmission takes place in a secure MPLS network and is VPN-encrypted. In addition, the data cards log into the best locally available network independently of the provider.

// Advantages

• Detection of current directions
• Measurement of individual currents
• Measurement of active, apparent and reactive power
• Reliable detection of current peaks by drag indicator
• Detection of neutral conductor current
• Detection of unbalanced load

// Installation

Easy installation possible:

the sensors we use can be attached quickly, easily and securely to the respective cables using a wing screw lock. In addition, we take care of the infrastructure for data transmission and management. This allows you to focus on your core business: The analysis and optimisation of your network operation – suitable for municipal utilities or distribution network operators in the low-voltage sector.
