Description - SICAM A8000 Serie

RTU – Remote Terminal Unit SICAM A8000 Series

Wherever energy flows – Operation, telecontrol, and automation in the smallest spaces

The SICAM A8000 series is a new modular device range for telecontrol and automation applications in all areas of energy supply. This device series was developed to fulfil the requirements of a broad field of applications. The most important features are:

• Suitable for rough ambient conditions thanks to mechanically stable modules and an extended temperature range from -40 to +70 °C.
• High voltage strength up to 5kV (IEC 60255) for use directly in substations.
• Fulfills tomorrow’s cyber security requirements with BDEW White Paper conformity, integrated crypto chip and IPSec encryption.Integrated communications interfaces incl. GPRS “on board”.
• Automation functions (IEC 61131-3), e.g. for controlling a regulated distribution transformer or for load control.Space-saving design with a module width of 30mm (without display for CP)Scalable by combining individual I/O modules.
• Long product life cycle and high investment security by using standards as IEC 61850.

The SICAM A8000 series also offers the 3-stage smart functions:Monitoring:

• The first stage focuses on the monitoring of stations to enable rapid fault localization and high availability.
• Telecontrol: The second stage involves switchgear telecontrol in addition to monitoring, thus minimizing downtime. Thanks to this application, fault isolation and power supply restoration of de-energized network sections are no longer difficult tasks for power supply utilities.
• Load flow control: In the third stage, the effects of decentralized power feed-ins are managed via automation. Network losses can be significantly reduced this way.
