Our new GridWatch offer installed on our own production site in Vire (France)!

The Chauvin Arnoux Group has several production sites in France, and notably in Normandy: near Pont-L’Evêque, at Villedieu les Poêles and at Vire.

The Vire production site is more especially dedicated to processing plastics and producing mechanical parts. Equipped with cutting-edge machine-tools, the site manufactures the casings of Chauvin Arnoux Energy's Enerium power monitors and Triad transducers, as well as other elements.  Similarly, the current transformers for tariff metering are manufactured entirely at Vire.

Control and optimization of the electrical power supply is essential in any industrial process, as for the transformer stations in the electrical distribution networks. So it was natural for us to install our new GridWatch offer, designed to supervise MV/LV transformer stations, on our own production site.

The temperatures of the transformer and the medium-voltage cells are thus constantly monitored and analyzed, along with the energy flows.

A quick roll-out enabled us to confirm one of GridWatch's major strengths: the power supply was only cut off for half a day to hook up the solution! The production line was therefore maintained.
