MV Sensor

By Aclara 
By Aclara
Aclara leads the industry in providing inductively powered MV Sensors with visibility into the distribution grid down to 3 amps. Aclara MV Sensors provide real-time data and alarms about grid conditions using outage and fault detection, configurable threshold alarms and real-time load and power quality monitoring that can be used for a wide variety of distribution network applications.Flexible Communications eliminate the costs and aggravations of communication backhaul challenges. Aclara’s MV Sensors with integrated wireless communications works with cellular, Wi-Fi or fiber for quick, safe and easy installation.Aclara’s MV Sensor options include: MV Cellular Sensors: Integrated 4G LTE or 3G cellular interfaces with optional cellular data service provisionied and managed by Aclara. MV Wi-Fi Sensors: Standards-based Wi-Fi communications to Aclara or third party nodes and mesh networks. Wi-Fi models can be directly connected to standard pole-mounted fiber ONTs to communicate over broadband fiber networks. Aclara’s Aggregator devices provide integrated cellular interfaces or TCP/IP Ethernet interfaces to link with a broad range of wide area IP networks – WiMax, wireless mesh, fiber, and DSL.
