POWERSCOUT®

Moisture, ageing, dirt, mechanical damage and the stress of current, voltage and temperature take their toll on every electrical installation. POWERSCOUT® helps detect these faults early and resolve their causes cost-effectively.

• Continuous monitoring instead of random manual spot checks
• Automatic collection of all measured values
• Clear visualization of large volumes of installation data
• Early warnings for critical conditions

The software runs entirely in the browser; no local installation is required.

For typical scenarios, POWERSCOUT® provides assistants that generate the right analyses and visualizations:

Residual current: a setup assistant creates a dashboard that calculates the ratio of residual current to load current and shows at a glance whether critical limits are exceeded.

Stray currents: analysis of irregular current patterns per section of the installation to locate weak points and spot trends for preventive maintenance.

Central earthing point (CEP): visualization of CEP and branch currents and of the relationship between the CEP current and the downstream circuits.

Neutral conductor: detection of neutral conductor overloads and analysis of the load distribution across phases, with warnings when loads become critical.

Dashboards:

• Custom dashboards for individual parts of the installation
• Hierarchical tree view of the entire installation structure
• Update rate based on the bus cycle time
• Works across different devices

Reports:

• Scheduled automatic delivery
• Long-term analyses to identify trends
• Configurable reports and exports

Integration:

• Connects Bender devices via CP9xx(-I), COM465IP and COM465DP
• Supports third-party devices
• Interfaces to existing management systems

User management:

• Role-based access control
• Interface available in German and English

POWERSCOUT® is designed around the requirements of DGUV Regulation 3, the German statutory accident insurance rules for electrical installations and equipment. Instead of collecting readings by hand – a slow and error-prone process – the electrical equipment is monitored continuously and the results are documented automatically.

• Automatic documentation as proof of compliance
• Test reports in line with legal requirements
• Complete traceability
• Notifications when anomalies occur
• Maintenance intervals based on real measurement data – preventive rather than reactive

With POWERSCOUT® Hosted (item number B95061503), Bender runs the software as a managed service in a German data center. No server infrastructure of your own is required; Bender takes care of updates, maintenance and backups.
