Cable Protection Innovation: A Look At What Is Coming
Smart Sensors are wireless, self-charging devices that easily attach to equipment, monitor crucial functions and report data through the ABB Ability™ system. With ABB Smart Sensors already available to monitor electric motors, pumps and mounted bearings, ABB is bringing cable protection into the future with the integration of ABB Ability™ to Smart Cable Protection System . With the ability to pinpoint important indications of problems in cable protection systems such as condensation, leakage, fractures and high heat, Smart Cable Protection System will enable users to cut downtime, reduce sudden failures and pinpoint needed repairs rather than performing expensive change outs based on generic schedules. A patent is pending on this groundbreaking new technology.
