Design and development of iRemote Terminal Unit (iRTU) for undervoltage and overvoltage fault

Power outages is always happened and its take a longer time for fault detection, isolation and restoration. Existing RTU is very expensive because it needs to be imported. This problem affects the manufacturing sectors and having an impact on residential areas. Therefore, the design and development...

This problem affects the manufacturing sectors and having an impact on residential areas. Therefore, the design and development of the iRTU is implemented to ensure the problem of power outages can be detected immediately and the TNB can take action quickly.
