Internet of power- Digital circuit breakers.

Internet of power- Digital circuit breakers.
Parents
  • One aspect I can't see at present is where would these be used? It seems overkill for the majority of domestic installations and the super-fast disconnection times are not necessary in many protection schemes, so the only advantage is the remote control arrangements. These can be added to many traditional circuit breakers without the complexity of semiconductor breakers and therefore probably at a much lower cost (and without the thermal losses).

    I am also a bit dubious about connecting i-phones and i-pads for remote power management as this introduces cyber security issues to the mix.
