Power Substation Automation - ACS

ACS Electrical Substation Automation: Advanced Solution for Substation Management

Designed according to IEC 61850 standards, Leroy Automation’s ACS range is an innovative solution for electrical substation automation. It enables optimal management of power feeds and complete supervision of electrical substations.

Equipped with an ergonomic touchscreen, the device allows for intuitive management of installations: real-time visualization, equipment control, fault monitoring, and acknowledgment. The inputs and outputs are wired at the rear and can be adapted to different power types: 24V DC, 48V DC, or 125V DC, offering great flexibility to meet the specific needs of each installation.

The IEC 61850 protocol ensures seamless integration into the global control system of the substation, guaranteeing smooth communication and centralized management of equipment.

With over 30,000 ACS cards installed worldwide, this robust and reliable solution is the preferred choice for electrical network operators and substation managers.
