To optimise your MV distribution,

in terms of availability, safety,
profitability. . .

Te l e c o n t rol interfaces integrated in network points and MV/LV substations
allow the network operator to:

know the status of MV equipment,

monitor the flow of fault current in the MV network,

operate one or more MV direction feeders,

to quickly limit the effects of faults on the MV network and maintain the
power supply to a maximum number of consumers.

The telecontrol interfaces should be simple to install and easy to operate.
Activated when incidents occur in MV network, they must have 
f i e l d - p roven reliability and availability.

In order for a network
to be operated 
re m o t e l y, 
the MV switchgear
must be equipped
with telecontrol 
i n t e rf a c e .

Power supply

Talus 200 comprises 
a backed up power
supply and guarantees
continuity of serv i c e
for several hours in
case of voltage loss
on the MV network. 

It supplies power to: 

the remote 

monitoring and control 
i n t e rf a c e

the MV switchgear

motor mechanisms

remote transmission

equipment. 

Without maintenance:

The power supplies
u n d e rgo a large 
number of self-tests 
to guarantee their
a v a i l a b i l i t y.

The installation of 

Talus 200 is made 
easy by the use of:

Talus 200 is 

designed to be

Talus 200 can be
included in both
Milenium contro l

Talus 200 is designed
to be easily adapted
for diff e rent pro t o c o l s
and remote transmis-
sion media.

The protocols are

managed by a special
module and all
changes are made
without affecting the
other functions.

Connection to the

communication net-
work is established by
integration, in the
cabinet, of a modem
qualified for use with
the re q u i red network:
radio, telephone,
dedicated line, optical

Talus 200:

o ffers you clear advantages

Talus 200 is designed to make work easier for Utilities during 

the installation, operation and maintenance phases.

Talus 200, a multifunctional unit specially designed for MV electrical 

networks, delivered ready to plug, provides you with guaranteed

simplified installation and operation

continuity of service to operate your switchgear.

Much more than a
simple RTU used for

M V / LV substation, 
Talus 200 unit
handles, on its own,
