TECHNICAL NOTES ON SMART SWITCH – SPCT10

Electrical safety of small & large building is of prime importance to protect the property from
fire hazards due to short circuits, electrical shocks due to earth leakages and damage to
equipment’s due to over-voltage, fluctuation etc. It is also important to save electrical energy
by simply switching off the lights, air conditioners, etc. when they are not required.

Technological Advantages in terms of existing products

Electrical switches like MCBs & ELCBs, which are available in the market at present do not
provide required degree of protection. A system offering complete solutions to all these issue is
not available at present. Spectrum Infra Ventures Pvt. Ltd. has ventured to provide a state of art
solution by its smart switches. The Product Smart Switches provide following features:-

 Electrical Fault Analysis - The device can analyze real-time analysis of all electrical faults
of both main and branch lines: short circuit, earth leakage, overload, over/under
voltage, overheated, arc fault, etc on 24/7 real-time basis.
 Full Protection - This system provides all protections: overload, short circuit, earth
leakage, surge, over/under voltage, arcing fault, phase loss, unbalance, high
temperature unlike the present MCB which trips only when there is a short circuit fault,
which is too late in protecting the equipment’s & damages arising from fire & shocks.
The Energy consumed by each circuit controlled by smart switch is measured & can be known to the
customer on their mobile through a specially developed application through communication
modem. The Switches can be controlled by application software anytime and from anywhere, to
make life easier and safer. Application for end-user will perform following functions:-

 Power Consumption - Power consumption curve of main lines and each sub lines may
be showed in App monthly and hourly.
 Event Alarm and Push - All the events recorded and fault alarm will be pushed through
App.
 Auto-test of Residual Current - Auto-test of earth leakage current on fixed date each
month in the App instead of manual test monthly.
 Timer - Users are able to remotely set the power demand they want to target with a
weekly, daily or hourly resolution
 Remote Control - MCB and RCBO may be operated individually or be switched on/off all
together through App remotely and for safety, it cannot be switched on through
Application after switching off manually.
 Real-time Monitoring - The system monitors electrical circuit parameters: voltage,
current, power, temperature, Residual Current and KWH. All these parameters can be
displayed in Application.
 Power and Current Setting - Smart switches have current measuring CTs and switching
operation is motorized enabling to measure the energy consumed by the circuit and
remote on & off operations of MCB. The smart breakers operates on earth leakage
sensing and trips at set value of electrical current or voltage. The power and current
may be set through Application.

Smart switch has a software platform, from where any size of building can be controlled for
energy efficiency. It has following features:-

 Electrical Safety Supervision - The system will monitor all the electrical circuit
parameter of all main and branch lines in real-time such as voltage, current, Power,
temperature, residual current and KWH. It may do pre-judgment and action through
these electrical data collection and analysis.
 Early warning and alarms - The system may make the following early warning and alarms:
Alarm of earth leakage current, Early warning of temperature, Alarm of short circuit, Early
warning and alarm of over and under voltage, early warning of over current, early warning
and alarm of arcing fault & Early warning and alarm of three phase unbalance.
 Information management - Through software platform, you can easily view contact
information of technicians of each project management site. If any warning and alarms
happens, the software platform will inform the contact person to deal with it
immediately.
 Device location monitoring - After installation, the location information of each device will
be recorded and showed in the map in software platform. The software platform may
monitor the real-time status of all device installed all over the area, in case early warning
 or fault alarm happened, the supervisor may find the device and its location quickly,
then solve it accordingly before any unforeseen event happens.
 Power Management - The platform realizes the collection, storage, management and
efficient use of the terminal energy information. It analyzes, processes, handles all
energy data, and output to keep the system run in best state after system intelligent
configuration. It can reduce the operation cost of electrical terminal system, simplify the
management of energy operations, decrease manpower of daily power management,
and save human resources cost.

Area of Application

The device is based on a simple, integrated architecture. It guarantees high levels of flexibility,
making it suitable for applications in different sectors. This smart electrical safety supervision
and power management system has changed the traditional operation and maintenance mode.
By establishing an automatic monitoring and management platform, it is easier to use electrical
safety supervision to eliminate potential safety hazards and achieve scientific energy
management.

This solutions can be installed in small to mid-sized plants, in infrastructure facilities and
process plants to monitor operations, using data analysis to minimize downtime.
Optimized management of assets creates a competitive advantage that enables customers to
maximize business opportunities.

Commercial and public buildings can also leverage the scalable solution to achieve higher
energy efficiency and to have more detailed monitoring and control of their facility. Offices,
shopping malls, hotels, retail, chain stores & Residential can increase their awareness of energy
consumption and cost allocation to improve performance. They can secure service continuity
and develop predictive maintenance forecasts.

It can be used on the following areas:-

 Hospital Sector
 Office Sector
 Residential Sector
 Industrial Sector
 Shopping Mall Sector
 Commercial & Public Buildings
Methodology

Smart Switches have to be installed when the wiring of the offices/residence premises is provided.
It may be installed at the junction point of utility mains supply. Each room or equipment and house
wiring may be controlled by a single pole smart switch of required current capacity

Installation

 Power supply module is needed module, and installed in first place of the row. It can
drive max.10pcs iMCB / iRCBO.
 1pc iRCBO / iMCB(2,3,4 poles) used as main switch, and follows to the power supply in
second place.
 Required quantity of iMCB /iRCBO to be installed as branch switches, followed the main
switch.
 Communication module is also a needed module, and installed in last place of the row.
It can drive (max.32pcs iMCB / iRCBO)
  All modules are connected by connection pins in each row, and a flexible flat cable is
needed to connect multi rows.

Cost Effectiveness compared with your competitor in the market

These system is an innovative and has unique features which is not available in India Market. It
provide complete protection and electric safety. As such, there is no cost comparison as the
product is unique but is costly as compared to conventional switches. A software system
support is available 24*7 operation. The unique features and protection offered by the system
outweigh the cost incurred for the same.
