Switchboard Automation

Switchboard automation components that support power management, load control, source selection, alarms, and integrated monitoring of electrical distribution systems. Switchboard automation supervises functions such as generator loading, source transfer, breaker status and alarm/data presentation. A PLC or touchscreen interface must be engineered around the underlying safe power system rather than replacing hardware interlocks. Ward’s engineering documents power-management and touchscreen systems for vessel construction and upgrades.
