Automation Equipment

The INERTIA MSO, motorized switch operator, meets or exceeds ANSI certification standards for substation, transmission and distribution Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA). It works as a stand alone, locally controlled device, or it can be fit with a wide variety of SCADA communication equipment including your choice of RTU, modem, radio, antenna, cabling, and analog insulators with current, voltage and fault sensing capabilities. Two MSO models are:

  • MSOD- reciprocating output for distribution switches 15 kV-35 kV
  • MSOT- reciprocating output for transmission switches 46 kV-72.5 kV
The INERTIA MSO is built with interchangeable communication control modules for upgrading on the shop bench instead of in the field. A basic push-button operating device can be upgraded with a variety of SCADA systems in the future. A new or modified module, with your choice of remote control features, can be easily bench tested on an existing MSO series and quickly apply the upgrade in the field. The INERTIA MSO gives the flexibility needed for your changing remote switching requirements. Inertia’s interchangeable modules allow for easy upgrades on the shop bench; not up on the pole.

Description
