BlackStart Controller
In 2014, PB Design introduced the BlackStart Controller, a smart battery disconnector. This allowed the DNOs to meet the 72 hours autonomy for their switch trippers without significantly increasing battery size. The BlackStart is available as a wall-mount option to retrofit an existing switch tripper, or integrated into our 19″ rack mounted cubicles. BlackStart is available to protect either single or dual battery strings.
- Auto disconnect switch tripper battery in the event of a mains failure.
- Reconnect via SCADA signal.
- Single or dual string.
- Reduces the lifetime total cost of ownership.
