Project: Compliance Testing
Product Solution: Omegalec 63kA Injection Transformer
Application: Power

Omegalec offers a wide range of transformers for any application, including transformers used for test equipment Omegalec transformer are used for custom testing facilities and will suit applications for

• High current testing (Current transformers, protection systems and circuit breakers)
• High voltage (Hi-Pot compliance testing, cable testing)
• High frequency (Specialized equipment, 400Hz aircraft equipment and RF analysers)

Single or Polyphase

• Current up to 63000Amps
• Voltage up to 100kV
• Trolley based or fixed
• Multiple test functions in one unit
• 1 to 100% duty cycle
• Resistive load banks used with test systems

Recent High Current Application
The recent supply of a 63kA injection transformer in a specialised test bench enables the end user to carry out full compliance testing including specialised tests that are not readily available on standard test equipment. Test stations like these are custom built and are suited for a wide range of tests such as fault level mechanical checks and heating.
High current injection transformers can be supplied as a separate item or can be incorporated into a complete test solution unit.
Lower current units in the range of 500A to 5kA can be used to test circuit breaker tripping characteristics, current transformer ratios, thermography and protection systems.

High Voltage Applications
Another recent test station was designed and built by Omegalec for the testing of 11kV motors and transformers. This was accomplished by using a specialised injection transformer combined with a fully automatic programmable remote-control system. This transformer is fully automatic with voltage tap changers and earthing links controlled via a remote touch screen controller. This controller was used to control and monitor the testing from a safe distance allowing the operators full control without entering the testing area.

All controls and feedback are part of the Omegalec transformer system. Omegalec can offer a turnkey application offering controllers pre-programmed to suit the testing application.

Project: Canned Fish Food Processing
Product Solution: SM 6000 Series Detecting Fish Cans
Application: Manufacturing

• Although this environment is clean, the sensors were repeatedly splashed with the oil from the cans. This was causing several
  detection problems and therefore, shutdown times in the production line.
• SM 6000 Series has been tested for several weeks, with great results.
• More than 50 sets have been replaced with Telco; and now, the ratio of stoppages for maintenance has been reduced virtually to
  zero.

Project: Chocolate Food Processing
Product Solution: Telco SMP 8500
Application: Manufacturing

• In this chocolate factory the customer is using the SMP 8500 MG J. The SMP is mounted on one side of the roller to detect the presence of chocolate.
• The SMP is set to Normally Closed. It has to be adjusted to not detect the chocolate layer on the roller within a distance of between 150 mm – 180 mm.
• When the chocolate is not present, ie. feeder is empty, the SMP will detect the roller (shiny surface) and it will activate the output, stopping the roller immediately.

Project: Contactless Car Parking/Entry Ticket Dispensing
Product Solution: Bircher CleanSwitch Sensor
Application: Commercial

• To alleviate/give the visitors a non contact alternative to dispense the parking ticket from the ticket machine.

• Since first using the Telco Light Curtain in 2015 we have found them reliable and easy to install, and integrated seamlessly with our control system.

Project: Substation Battery Tripping Units
Product Solution: Unitronics Vision 700

Omegalec manufacture specialised battery tripping units for electrical substations. Each unit is custom manufactured for the target application, based on proven, standard designs. The primary function of these battery tripping units is to provide a battery power source that is independent from the electricity grid, to operate circuit breakers in electrical substations. It is essential that these circuit breakers can be tripped regardless of any disturbance or interruption of the electricity grid supply. A secondary function is to maintain the batteries fully charged and in good condition. Omegalec tripping units incorporate both the battery supply as well as the automatic charging system.

The Unitronics Vision 700 was chosen as the standard PLC + HMI to operate the system. With the addition of a Snap-in IO module the Vision 700 becomes a compact, complete controller with IO. Different snap-in modules can be used to accommodate varying IO needs of different projects. For example, modules with up to 9 analogue inputs allow versatility to monitor key parameters such as battery voltage, charging current and load current.

Unitronics provide the Visilogic programming software free of charge on their website. Combined with the all-in one architecture, this made programming the HMI and PLC a straightforward task. There is no need to spend extra time programming the exchange of tags between the HMI and PLC, as both parts of the system share the same tag memory. Modbus communications allows for centralised monitoring of the system, for rapid response to any abnormal fault conditions.

Project: Multi-Pump Systems
Product Solution: Unitronics Vision and UniStream Controllers

Multi-pump sets are used in applications where a wide range of flowrate is required. Two or more pumps are connected in parallel, with a common inlet and outlet. At its maximum capacity the multi-pump system behaves like a single large pump. However at varying flowrates a multi-pump system is more efficient and responsive than a single large pump, and can operate at much lower flowrates. To achieve these goals, a multi-pump system requires a smart and capable controller.

Unitronics Vision and UniStream controllers are widely used as multi-pump controllers. They offer an excellent range of features to perform the necessary operations, such as:

• Start/Stop control
• Regulation of pressure and/or flow, including PID control
• Sequencing of Duty/Assist/Standby pumps
• Rotation of the duty pump to evenly distribute operating hours
• Level monitoring of the reservoir
• System protection – low flow, dead head, dry suction, over-pressure
• Colour touchscreen for local monitoring and control, replaces pushbuttons, lamps and dials
• Scalable input and output configuration, for different sized systems

In many applications there is a growing concern for careful use of water and the electricity required to move it around. Unitronics controllers offer many built-in features that go beyond the basic operations, allowing manufacturers and operators of the systems to achieve their performance improvement goals. Examples include:

• SMS and email messaging for fast notification of alarm conditions
• Remote view and operation of the controller
• UniCloud hosted solution with dashboards and overall view of connected controllers
• Precise and detailed data logging
• Database and IIoT connectivity (SQL, MQTT, RestAPI, OPC-UA)
• Device network connectivity (Modbus, Ethernet/IP, BACnet)

Multi-pump sets are found in many diverse applications, such as mine dewatering, tailings dams, flood mitigation, storm water harvesting, agricultural irrigation, town water supply, town wastewater management, irrigation of sporting fields, equipment washdown, water recycling and re-pressurisation in large urban buildings.
