What is DRC-015G?
The DRC-015G is a state-of-the-art smart grid device designed to monitor, track, and modernize existing Low Voltage Distribution Board (LVDB) infrastructure. This groundbreaking solution streamlines the operation of LVDB, provides real-time load monitoring, overload detection, and tracks the temperature condition of the transformer and LVDB feeders fast and accurately, empowering organizations to proactively manage their distribution system. This capability is crucial for utilities to manage and prevent the potential fire hazards quickly and efficiently.
About Low Voltage Distribution Board (LVDB)
A Low Voltage Distribution Board (LVDB) is an essential component in an electrical distribution system that manages and distributes low-voltage power to multiple circuits within a building, facility, or industrial site.
DRC-015G Integration with LVDB
The DRC‑015G integrates directly with an LVDB by connecting to each low-voltage feeder using current transformers (CTs) to monitor real-time current flow and detect overloads or unbalanced conditions.
Getting to Know How the DRC‑015G Works
The DRC‑015G operates as a smart monitoring and communication device for Low-Voltage Distribution Board (LVDB). This smart device connects to each LV feeder via current transformers (CTs) to continuously measure current flow and detect abnormal conditions such as overcurrent, phase imbalance, or supply outage. The device communicates in real time with a central monitoring system or desktop software through GSM/GPRS sending alarms and feeder data for remote supervision. With the precise DRC-015G solution from VP.Start, we did not simply revolutionize the conventional management of LVDBs and transformers into dynamic smart grid systems that cut costs, reduce waste and risks, and streamline operations, but we also prioritized cost efficiency for utilities, making the LV management more effectively and reliably.

Features & Applicability
1. Real-time Monitoring
All critical status information such as power source, voltage, current, room temperature, feeder current flow, and feeder over limit current is clearly displayed on the LMS, enabling fast and informed decision-making.
2. Analysis
Operators can utilize the data obtained from the LVDB for various reports, including daily analysis of over limit current, feeder line traffic analysis, daily, weekly, and monthly reports on feeder over limit current, and feeder line current warnings.
3. Alarm Notifications
The Alarm function of DRC-015G can be alerted when having over limit current, power source off, and over temperature detection. This smart device provides warning notifications when the temperature reaches its limit threshold and triggers alarms when the temperature approaches dangerous levels.
4. Abnormal Detection
The DRC-015G records abnormal situations when the temperature peaks and drops rapidly, storing this data in its abnormal feature. These processes help prevent potential fire hazards while ensuring the safety of both personnel and equipment.
5. Google Map View
Map allows operators to pinpoint the actual location of DRC-015G easily and efficiently.
