Monitor Detects Geomagnetically Induced Current

Aug. 20, 2013
ECLIPSE has the ability to detect geomagnetically induced current (GIC), or geomagnetic disturbances (GMD) by monitoring DC load through the transformer neutral.

ECLIPSE has the ability to detect geomagnetically induced current (GIC), or geomagnetic disturbances (GMD) by monitoring DC load through the transformer neutral. GIC/GMD Detection is is accomplished using a proprietary Hall-Effect sensor supplied by APT, which is mounted on the neutral of the transformer.

For more advanced GIC detection, you can also apply two high-speed CTs on the windings to monitor harmonic content. Using these two quantities, ECLIPSE can provide comprehensive and reliable GIC/GMD detection and valuable alarm information to your operators. Armed with accurate knowledge of the extent of GIC, operators can make intelligent decisions toward mitigating the harmful effects of GIC/GMD on the power system.
