The optimal management of electrical power systems is based in particular on the reliability, availability and communication skills of protection, measurement and automation devices.
NPE915 is an energy management IED integrating a billing level accuracy kWh metering and fault location functionality in one single equipment. By combining highly accurate measurement technology and fault detection algorithms the NPE915 can be applied for Volt & Var optimization, tracking of power losses and reducing power outages by accurate fault location.
The NPE915 communicates using various protocols including IEC 61850 substation communication standard.

• Input for Volt & VAR optimization
• Impedance calculation for short-circuit fault location
• Voltage presence detection
