Minimum maintenance needed 

The expected lifetime of switchgear is between 30 and 40 years depending on the environment and the operation of the plant. Thereby, the maintenance costs represent an important factor in the calculation of the overall costs of the switchgear.

MMS excels here with its "fit and forget" approach, which means that all primary parts are maintenance-free for life. Likewise, the disconnector and circuit-breaker mechanisms do not need maintenance for the first decade. Since the mechanisms are easily accessible through the secondary compartment, the required maintenance time and costs are reduced to a minimum.

Easy integration into automated substations 

An MMS system is easy to automate. This system is ideally suited to an automated environment and there is obviously a preference for international standards such as the open control and communication protocol in accordance with IEC 60870. 

MMS can always be integrated into an existing automated environment as well. As an independent partner, Eaton will be pleased to advise you on any matter, whether it will be refurbishment or expansion of an existing sub-station. We will be happy to submit a tender for the entire project.

The MMS system can be read out and operated without any problems using SCADA systems. MMS also offers great flexibility with respect to protection relay manufacturers. The equipment you prefer can be integrated without any difficulty. The system is also suitable for both serial field bus systems and conventional wiring methods.
