Locate short-circuit and earth-fault indicators via remote access

Locate short circuits and ground faults remotely, deploy repair crews efficiently, and measurably improve SAIDI/SAIFI metrics.

Fault localization in seconds
Short circuit and ground fault events are reported instantly – fault locations can be determined remotely.
Fewer search trips, better SAIDI/SAIFI metrics
Deploy repair crews efficiently, shorten restoration times, and improve network performance indicators.
Retrofit instead of new installation
Digitize existing systems – without retrofitting, without interfering with the equipment, and without any operational downtime.
Plug-and-play upon delivery
Up and running in hours. No on-site IT infrastructure required—simply plug in and get started.
Challenge & Solution
The problem

Short circuits in medium and low-voltage networks – power outages and long restoration times

Without remote IoT monitoring, technicians must visit multiple substations to find the fault location – every minute spent searching extends the power outage and negatively impacts SAIDI/SAIFI. For grid operators and municipal utilities, this means not only rising operating costs and regulatory pressure, but also declining customer satisfaction.
  • Trips and power outages
  • Costly search trips
  • Worsened SAIDI/SAIFI metrics
The PSsystec solution

Real-time remote IoT monitoring for short circuit and ground fault indicators in existing medium-voltage systems

The PSsystec IoT solution detects short circuit and ground fault events and transmits them in seconds via LTE and NB-IoT – without interfering with existing protective equipment and without the need for local IT infrastructure. Grid operators and municipal utilities can localize faults remotely and dispatch repair crews to the exact location.
  • Cellular-based transmission of event data in seconds
  • Fault direction, phase, and timestamp reported automatically
  • Commissioning in just a few hours, with no retrofitting required
Benefits

Know the fault location – before the first search trip begins

In seconds

Fault localization without search trips
Short circuit and ground fault events are captured and reported instantly – repair crews drive directly to the affected substation section instead of searching the entire area.

Measurably better

Targeted improvement of SAIDI and SAIFI
Shorter restoration times have a direct impact on grid performance indicators – and provide objective evidence for regulatory authorities and internal reporting.

Strategically planned

Deploying repair crews efficiently
Directional information and phase identification enable precise deployment planning – fewer trips, less personnel effort, and lower operating costs.

Seamlessly documented

Event data for grid analysis and fault documentation
Timestamps, fault direction, and event history are available at any time – for grid planning, root cause analysis, and regulatory documentation.

PSA-certified

Certified & secure
PSA-certified digitalization process – from gateway and mobile network to cloud, GDPR-compliant and cybersecurity-tested.
