Waveform Analysis Alert

Fault Pinpointing & Waveform Analysis

Pinpoints faults via waveform capture to speed restoration. Tracing finds root causes quickly, enabling accurate crew dispatch and shorter outages.

Thunderstorm monitoring

Power Quality & Visualized O&M

Analyzes power quality and delivers insights via visual dashboards, simplifying O&M by turning complex grid data into actionable information.

Network status verification

Wide Applicability Across Networks

Suits urban and rural feeders from 6kV to 35kV. It handles long spans, rough terrain, and remote areas with poor visibility and rapid response demands.

Distributed energy flexibility

Distributed Energy Resource Support

Adapts to distributed energy resources and dynamic, intermittent generation, delivering stable monitoring where conventional systems fall short.

AI Cloud component of Power IoT

Sensor-Concentrator-AI Cloud architecture

Employs a sensor-concentrator-AI Cloud architecture with edge-side aggregation and preprocessing, and cloud-based actionable O&M recommendations.

Flexible plugin connector

Seamless Integration & Scalability

Fits multiple grounding systems and existing O&M, supporting distribution automation, investment protection and seamless expansion.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which major international power communication protocols do InHand fault indicators support? Can they connect to multiple SCADA master stations?

InHand transient waveform fault indicators support three mainstream utility protocols: DNP3, IEC 60870-5-101, and IEC 60870-5-104, meeting integration needs across North America, Europe, and Asia. The data concentrator can connect to two SCADA master stations simultaneously, fitting different utility monitoring architectures.

Yes. The fault detection logic supports full-parameter customization, including 12 key settings such as current thresholds, voltage sag levels, and waveform recording trigger conditions. With a graphical configuration interface, algorithms can be tuned for different neutral grounding methods (e.g., resistance grounding commonly used in the U.S., and resonant grounding in parts of Europe), delivering detection accuracy of ≥99% (short-circuit faults) and ≥95% (ground faults).

Yes. A Bluetooth 5.0 handheld O&M terminal is supported for parameter configuration, fault record reading, and firmware upgrades—up to 100 m communication range in open environments. It reduces the need for pole climbing, lowers maintenance risk, and aligns with utility safety practices. The handheld terminal also supports multi-language UI (e.g., English, Spanish, French, Turkish) for localized field teams. 

The system provides a cloud-based fault diagnostics platform for remote waveform upload and AI-assisted analysis. A built-in expert diagnostic engine automatically generates reports covering fault type, location, cause, and recommended actions. It also supports remote firmware upgrades and parameter configuration, reducing on-site support for international deployments and cutting average fault handling time by 60%
