Overview
| Introduction | IM and IMC are part of SM6 product range. This SM6 range is made up of modular units and used for the MV/LV substation in secondary distribution system up to 24 kV |
| Application | IM is usually applied for incoming switchgear for on load switching. IMC is IM type cubicle with additional current transformer for measurement (for overload protection please consult us).
This IM or IMC is normally installed in the system with other part of SM6 product range such as QM, * auxiliary contacts QMC, CM, DM1, DM2, etc., in accordance with the design of a distribution system. |

Environmental
| Ambient air temperature | ≤40 °C ≤35 °C on average over 24 hours ≥-5°C |
| Humidity | • Average relative humidity over a 24 hour period, ≤ 95% • Average relative humidity over a 1 month period, ≤ 90% • Average vapor pressure over a 24 hour period, ≤ 2.2 kPa • Average vapor pressure over a 1 month period, ≤ 1.8 kPa.For these conditions, condensation may occasionally occur. Condensation can be expected where sudden temperature changes occur in periods of high humidity.To withstand the effects of high humidity and condensation, such as breakdown of insulation, please pay attention on Civil Engineering recommendations for design of the building or housing, by suitable ventilation and installation. |

Monitoring
| Continuous Thermal Monitoring | The power connections in the Medium Voltage products are one of the most critical points of the substations especially for those made on site like: • MV Cable connections Loose and faulty connections cause an increase of resistance in localized points that will lead to thermal runaway until the complete failure of the connections.Preventive maintenance can be complicated in severe operating conditions also due to limited accessibility and visibility of the contacts.The continuous thermal monitoring is the most appropriate way to early detect acompromised connection. |
| Easergy TH110 Thermal Sensor | Easergy TH110 is part of the new generation of wireless smart sensors ensuring the continuous thermal monitoring of all the critical connections made on field allowing to: • Prevent unscheduled downtimes • Increase operators and equipments safety • Optimize and predictive maintenanceThanks to its very compact footprint and its wireless communication, Easergy TH110 allows an easy and widespread installation in every possible critical points without impacting the performance of the MV Switchgears.By using Zigbee Green Power communication protocol, Easergy Th110 ensure a reliable and robust communication that can be used to create interoperable solutions evolving in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) age.Easergy TH110 is self powered by the network current and it can ensure high performances providing accurate thermal monitoring being in direct contact with the measured point. |
