INCON® OPTIMIZER3 Trip Signature Monitor

Aug 31, 2025 | Critical Power

The new INCON® Optimizer3 Trip Signature Monitor provides high-fidelity trip coil signature analysis for an unprecedented level of insight into circuit breaker performance. Proprietary TripTracer™ technology captures the waveform signature of each trip and close operation and compares it to a baseline to detect potential circuit breaker deficiencies and enable proactive maintenance actions.

HIGH-FIDELITY TRIP SIGNATURE ANALYSIS

TripTracer™ technology excels in capturing and analyzing the trip coil signatures of circuit breakers with remarkable precision. By monitoring these signatures over time, the technology offers a comprehensive view of the breaker’s operational behavior compared to baseline measurements, enabling early detection of potential issues before they escalate.

Highlights:

  • Accessory to the INCON® Optimizer3 Circuit Breaker Monitor
  • Records and analyzes trip & close coil current signatures
  • Compares each new signature to a baseline to detect deviations
  • Signature deviations can identify breaker deficiencies
  • Deviations can trigger user-configured threshold alarms
  • Alarms can be used to apply data-driven maintenance
  • Records signature, date, and time of each breaker operation
  • Provides simplified NERC PRC-005 testing compliance
  • SFTP communication protocol via COMTRADE or CSV files
  • Can aid in deferring or eliminating offline testing
  • Improves safety, minimizes truck rolls, reduces costs
  • Includes hub, (3) coil current sensors, CAT6 Ethernet connectors
