Thomas & Betts Power Solutions has enabled the deployment of micro grids with its new Cyberex SuperSwitchGT, which offers autonomous operation and powering from distributed energy sources (islanding). The three-phase Cyberex SuperSwitchGT protects critical loads connected to a distributed energy source, or micro grid, from power quality anomalies on the utility grid by instantly isolating it. The Cyberex SuperSwitchGT uses silicon-controlled rectifiers to connect and disconnect the micro grid quickly to and from the utility grid in 20 μsec or less. This allows critical operation with equipment needing a continuous power source.
