Section 3— Introduction
ENGLISH
This document provides monitoring instructions using the Substation Monitoring
Device (SMD) from Schneider Electric.
The signaling information provided by the monitoring system described in this
manual is intended to be informational only. The SMD monitors temperature and
humidity conditions in specific locations within the switchgear and provides
indication signals when thresholds are surpassed. When temperature and humidity
conditions are outside of the pre-established parameters, consider taking action to
assess the equipment condition. Contact your local Schneider Electric
representative or Field Services team to obtain the appropriate information.
SMD General Description

Substation monitoring can be achieved through substation alarming via:
• Local and remote monitoring
• Nearby control
The SMD provides several tracking and measuring functions, as well as monitoring
features, for:
• Thermal monitoring
• Environmental monitoring
• Dry transformer monitoring
• Circuit breaker monitoring
Substation Alarming
The SMD collects all alarming indications available in the substation using digital
input (e.g., blown fuse or Watchdog relay) information. The SMD also collects the
information using Modbus protocol over Ethernet or Serial Line (SL)
communication.The collected alarms are then presented on the Human Machine
Interface (HMI) locally and made available remotely.
Local and Remote Monitoring
The SMD can be used for local and/or remote monitoring.
Local monitoring includes a:
• Single Line Diagram (SLD) representation of the lineup with temperature
values and logs of alarms on a color display:
— If no pre-alarm or alarm, the general status is operating normally (green).
— If at least one pre-alarm is activated, but no alarm, the general status is
pre-alarm (yellow).
— If at least one alarm is activated, the general status is alarm (red).
• Summary of global status of the substation available on digital contact outputs
that can be used for indicating through lights (typically green, yellow, and red) or
any equipment accepting contact output:
— Digital Contact Output 1: Closed when global status is green
— Digital Contact Output 2: Closed when global status is yellow
— Digital Contact Output 3: Closed when global status is red
— Digital Contact Output 4: Always Open

Substation Monitoring Device Section 3—Introduction
Remote monitoring can be achieved through:

• Short Message Service (SMS) associated to the alarms.
ENGLISH
• Connection to remote SCADA, Building Management System (BMS), or

Schneider Electric service platform using Modbus TCP/IP link.
Nearby Control
WARNING
LOSS OF SYSTEM CONTROL PATHS
• The designer of any control scheme must consider the potential failure modes of control paths and, for certain critical
control functions, provide a means to achieve a safe state during and after a path failure. Example: Emergency Stop.
• Separate or redundant control paths must be provided for critical control functions.
• System control paths may include communication links. Consideration must be given to the implications of
anticipated transmission delays or failure of the link.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury.
The SMD can be used as remote open or closing means for only circuit breaker or
load break switch operation.
The nearby control is limited to only authorized users and is restricted by password
access. In addition:
• The local HMI allows for the opening and closing of the switchgear through the
SMD only when connected to the protective relay (or other Intelligent Electronic
Device (IED)) through Modbus. The switchgear’s position is available in the SLD.
• The nearby HMI allows switchgear operation through a mobile device (e.g.,
tablet or smart phone) when connected to the SMD.
NOTE: The Magelis™ HMI is required to use the nearby HMI.
Thermal Monitoring
Thermal monitoring of cable, busbar, circuit breaker or withdrawable connections in
cubicle and transformer connections is achieved using TH110 wireless sensors from
Schneider Electric and ZigBee™ concentrators. One of the major causes of medium
voltage equipment damage is aging electrical connections. Thermal monitoring
tracks the temperature of connections and helps determine equipment aging.
Different algorithms apply to temperature measurements that result in indication
alarms. For example, in:
• Standard absolute monitoring: An alarm is indicated when the temperature
exceeds a fixed threshold.
• Advanced absolute monitoring: An alarm is indicated when the temperature
exceeds the threshold and adapts continuously to the load current of the feeder.
• Discrepancy monitoring: An alarm is indicated when the differences between
phase temperatures exceed a fixed threshold.
Environmental Monitoring
Environmental monitoring is achieved using CL110 wireless sensors from
Schneider Electric and ZigBee concentrators that measure humidity and
temperature inside cubicles and determine the severity of condition based on
frequency of condensation and pollution. This severity indicator is used to calculate

Section 3—Introduction Substation Monitoring Device
when the next inspection should be planned. An alarm can be set on temperature
or humidity conditions.
ENGLISH
Dry Transformer Monitoring
Dry transformers are monitored using PT100 wired sensors from Schneider Electric
that are installed into windings.The transformer’s aging is determined as stated in
Standard IEC60076-12. An alarm also can be set to indicate hotspot temperatures.
Circuit Breaker Monitoring

Circuit breaker monitoring is achieved using TH110 wireless sensors from
Schneider Electric and ZigBee concentrators.The SMD monitors circuit breakers
based on information collected in the protection relays. When the health of the
mechanism and main contacts are monitored, alarms are indicated when
maintenance is needed according to equipment wear thresholds. Abnormal
operating or charging lead times will also indicate alarms.
The HMI shows the monitored and referenced values for the configured circuit
breakers.

Figure 21 – Environment Screen Functions
— Duration without condensation: Measured as the Page 2: Environmental Severity
number of days without condensation. History
Environment Screen Functions Page 2 shows four (4)

severity indicator levels of climatic conditions and the
duration of days in them since the last inspection. The
severity levels are:
— Critical (indicates level 3)
— High (indicates level 2)
— Low (indicates level 1)
— No (indicates level 0)

Severity Indicator Based on standard IEC 62271-304, the SMD indicates four (4) severity levels of
equipment aging that is determined by the cumulative days the equipment spends
ENGLISH
in condensation and pollution conditions.
The indicators are shown in degrees and are as follows (Table 5):
• Degree 0 (indicated in green)
• Degree 1 (indicated in yellow)
• Degree 2 (indicated in orange)
• Degree 3 (indicated in red)
These indicators are used to determine an acceleration factor and when timely
addressed, can lead to a reduction in maintenance time. The degree of severity of
service condition is determined daily based on the measured condensation and
pollution level declared (Figure 20 on page 28 and Table 5).
NOTE: Follow the switchgear maintenance plan that is specific to your
equipment. Contact your local Schneider Electric representative or Field
Services team to obtain the appropriate information.
Table 5 – Environmental Monitoring: Degree of Severity
The SMD measures the condensation level from the

relative humidity and ambient temperatures, as well
as the cold point temperature.
Ambient temperature is the air temperature inside the
cubicle. Cold point temperature is the temperature of the
walls of the cubicle. These two temperatures, along with
humidity are used to calculate the condensation levels.
The possible condensation levels are:
— Co: Normally Nonrecurring condensation:
(not more than twice a year)
— CL: Infrequent condensation:
(not more than twice a month) The severity degree is displayed in green, yellow,
— CH: Frequent condensation: orange, and red depending of its value.
(more than twice a month)
— CH+: Very Frequent condensation: The Environment condition alarm is generated for
(more than twice a week) pollution levels:
The pollution levels defined in the configuration are: — Pollution Level Low
— PL: Low pollution — Degree 1 or 2: Pre-alarm

— PH: High pollution — Degree 3: Alarm
— Pollution Level High
— Degree 2: Pre-alarm
