Distribution network automation terminals are installed

A Distribution Automation Terminal is a specialized device installed within electrical distribution networks. It acts as a control point that gathers data from sensors and other devices, processes this information, and executes commands to regulate the flow of electricity. It covers various ways this solution can be used, including: ● Monitoring secondary substations for scenarios like Fault Location, Isolation, and Service Restoration (FLISR) and Volt/VAR. The distribution automation terminal is the execution unit of the distribution automation system and an important part of the distribution automation system.
