Switchgear Monitoring with Kappa Switchgear Cameras Systems (SGC)
In complex power distribution networks, precise visual monitoring is essential for smooth and reliable operation. Our specially developed camera solutions for switchgear and circuit breakers provide a clear view of critical components, even under demanding environmental conditions. Whether gas-insulated or air-insulated switchgear, hybrid systems or generator circuit breakers, Kappa offers robust, EMC- and shock-resistant camera systems that comply with IEEE C37.20.9-2019.
In addition to the camera systems, we provide powerful monitoring software and user-friendly viewer software. Together, they form a complete solution for the visual inspection and documentation of your installations – easy to operate and flexible to integrate.
Kappa optronics also offers an on-site installation service. Our experienced team integrates the complete system into existing or new installations and hands it over fully operational.
Choose from three technology worlds – tailored to your specific requirements.
Switchgear Cameras (SGC)
One central system | Software tailored to customer requirements
Our proven camera systems are compatible with all viewports in substations, medium- and high-voltage installations, gas- and air-insulated switchgear, hybrid switchgear, generator circuit breakers (GCB) and transformers. The state-of-the-art cameras are designed for both network-based and standalone (network-independent) solutions. Using mechanically robust adapters made of PEEK and POM, which provide high electrical insulation and can be individually customized for each viewport type, the switchgear cameras can be integrated easily and safely.
