Notes:
1. In Monitoring Mode, the SmartValve is bypassed and does not inject voltage, while telemetry data is still transmitted. In Injection
Mode, the SmartValve injects voltage in series with the line and telemetry data is transmitted.
2. The following lower Fault Current Ratings are available upon request - 50.4 KA RMS for 1 second, 38 kA RMS for 1 second, 25.2 kA RMS
for 1 second and 12.6 kA RMS for 1 second.
3. Current ratings of the SmartValve are dependent on the altitude and solar radiation, variations in these conditions may vary the
temperature or current ratings of the SmartValve model.
4. Maximum RMS AC of the output voltage for an individual unit. Total voltage injection determined by the number of units per phase.
5. The value shown is for an individual unit. For multiple units in series, N, the maximum ramp rate of the set is N * Maximum Voltage
Ramp Rate.
6. The ratings given are for operation at 50°C. Temperature-dependent ratings are available upon request.
7. Emergency current ratings apply to the SmartValve in both Injection Mode and Monitoring Mode.
About
Smart
Wires
Smart Wires is the world’s leader in modular power flow control. Smart Wires technology enables utilities to unlock the large
amounts of spare capacity that exists on their systems today. This means they can reduce congestion to save customers money and
more quickly connect new renewables and demand. Increasing the use of the existing grid is more cost-effective and less disruptive
to communities and the environment than traditional solutions. Smart Wires technology is quick to install and easy to scale or
redeploy, providing valuable flexibility given today’s rapidly changing electric system. Based in California, with offices in Ireland and
Australia, Smart Wires partners with utilities around the globe to address the unique challenges they face.
