Customer Benefits
Enhanced arc flash safety Pre-configured and pre-programmed HMI enables out-of-the box remote monitoring, configuration and control Gets personnel outside the arc flash hazard boundary when performing normal breaker operations (configuration, open/close, racking and maintenance mode activation)

Faster startup and commissioning Significantly reduces internal and external control wiring for increased product reliability and decreased installation labor

Usage-based preventative and predictive maintenance information


Configurable, self-monitoring apparatus that is easier to design, specify, commission and operate

Smart-LVS Historically, integrated remote monitoring, configuration and control have only been available with the inclusion of optional upstream PMCS, PCS, DCS or SCADA systems. With the advent of Smart-LVS, remote monitoring, configuration and control become standard features that are integral to the electrical apparatus product.
