View protection status in realtime
The protection for the electrical installation and server racks is sized in relation to the connected loads.
Tripping due to excessive currents or manual opening are the main causes of a protection device opening, which in turn switch off power to the bay.
When a protective device trips, the system must be able to notify the site manager. Alarm mode should notify the operator remotely while helping them to quickly locate the fault.
Regardless of the type of distribution – tap-off or PDU (Power Distribution Unit) – measurement and monitoring devices located as close as possible to the server protection is recommended.

VirtualMonitor technology
Our exclusive VirtualMonitor technology is a function within our measurement devices. It monitors all phases supplying server bays and detects lack of voltage. Integrated into the sensors themselves, this innovation prevents having to add equipment such as auxiliary contacts at the protective devices and their connections.
For new or existing installations, this technology monitors protection, identifies the opening type (manual, single-pole, overload or short-circuit) and triggers an alarm. The operator is informed by a local LED alarm, a remote notification and an email.
