RTU530 product line

Enabling a self-healing grid

RTU530 delivers a new set of features and solutions for the secondary distribution automation segment in addition to many other applications. The device’s highly customizable design enables the adaptation of input and output modules based on application requirements while a robust design and optional conformal coating guarantee a long cycle life. Low power consumption enables a greener installation while optimizing the capacity of UPS batteries.

The new platform builds upon the functionality of the RTU500 series and adds more processing capacity and a faster communication bus. This enables you to run out-of-the-box applications such as fault detection, automatic transfer system (ATS), load shedding, or fault detection isolation and restoration (FDIR) within your network and integrates seamlessly with fleet management. All come embedded with enhanced cybersecurity features such as secure communication, encryption, and security logging which are part of the DNA of the RTU500 series.

Measurement modules based on the 530 platform allow a scalable adaption to the substation. High-accuracy measurement and harmonics enabled strong visibility of the grid.
