BIDOYNG

The Smart Fuse

BIDOYNG The Smart Fuse is a revolutionary development in Low
Voltage Network Management. The BIDOYNG is designed for
wide deployment on the LV system and is exceptionally simple to
install and use.
The unit fts into existing LV fuse positions and is based
upon the patented concept of two LV fuses in parallel,
creating a robust single-shot auto-recloser.
The primary fuse carries the load current until a fault
causes it to operate. Then, after a pre-programmed delay
the secondary fuse is switched in and the network
re-energised.
Incorporating extensive communications and
intelligence, the BIDOYNG enables the development of a
real Smart Grid for the distribution network.
The modern utility can now create a more efcient,
low carbon network while also signifcantly
improving performance.
Fuse replacements can be scheduled and embedded
fault location means the cost of fnding and repairing
intermittent faults is considerably reduced.

The BIDOYNG can be used in isolation on a single
circuit but when accompanied by the Gateway (a
remotely programmable, communications and control
unit) the benefts are greatly enhanced.
The information available via the Gateway provides
visibility of the LV network:
> Each Gateway communicates with up to 15
BIDOYNG units via low power radio
> GSM/GPRS for external communications &
real-time status of each circuit
> Full web-based interface for detailed information
> Receive updates on critical feeders via SMS and / or
email
> Remotely upgrade units via comms link
> Better performance from the LV network

Dramatically reduce CMLs and CIs
> Minimise cost and impact of intermittent faults
Embedded fault location and early detection of
developing faults
Built-in voltage and current measurement
> Efciencies in manpower and fnancial
resources
Target repairs more accurately
Apply resources when and where they are needed
> Manage and extend life of underground cable assets
> Integrate into an existing network management system
(e.g. ENMAC)
> Load profling of the LV network

The BIDOYNG has been designed and tested with
its task and role clearly in mind:
> 50kA current withstand and fault make
capability, extensively tested at an independent
accredited laboratory
> Primary fuse replacement occurs safely while the
network remains energised; no customer
inconvenience
> Secondary fuse delay is programmable for
optimum performance
> Batteries not required
> Uses industry standard J type fuse links
The combination of BIDOYNG and Gateway provides
a platform that enables further developments of
practical Smart Grid and LV Network Automation
applications.
These include:
Designed for Today
> LV substation monitoring
Load, voltage and harmonics
Ambient & transformer temperatures
I/O for monitoring & control of remote devices
Theft of power detection

Platform for Tomorrow
