Abstract: A system for collecting information related to an electrical switch. The system including a first switch, a second switch, and an external device. The external device is configured to receive the first and second signals corresponding to the first and second switches. Wherein the external device is located remotely from the first switch and the second switch.

Abstract: The operation has a plurality of points, each associated with a slave device, the devices being part of a SCADA network that includes a computer. The apparatus comprises: modules each including a sensor having a thermal imager and a transceiver coupled to the sensor to receive data and adapted for cellular communication; and functionality adapted to receive information via cellular network and to communicate with the SCADA. The functionality is couplable to the SCADA as a device and configured such that data delivered from the sensor to the transceiver is delivered as if from multiple points. The system comprises: a repository; a computer adaptation configured to permit conditions to be set which trigger alerts including a DNP point and a time stamp; and a further adaptation which, responsive to an alert, fetches from the repository an image file associated with the point and the stamp, and displays the image.

Abstract: A switch including a blade, an electrical terminal, and a sensor. The blade is pivotable between an open position and a closed position. The electrical terminal is configured to receive the blade when in the closed blade position. The sensor is coupled to the electrical terminal. The sensor is configured to sense a position of the blade and output a signal corresponding to the position.
