Take the GE Entellisys™ Technical Challenge

Test your knowledge of the Entellisys™ low-voltage switchgear.
Answer the following 10 questions with the most appropriate answer. All of the answers to your quiz can be found in the Entellisys™ application guide. (PDF, 2.6 MB)

  1.

What makes Entellisys™ low-voltage switchgear different from conventional switchgear?

  It has a significantly smaller footprint than conventional switchgear

  It uses a single-processor concept to control every circuit breaker in the switchgear based on the exact conditions in the total system at that moment

  It has significantly higher ratings than conventional switchgear

  2.

For which three product attributes does Entellisys™ provide maximum benefits?

  Safety, Reliability, Flexibility

  Safety, Size Reduction, Flexibility

  Reliability, Size Reduction, Safety

  3.

What are the maximum nominal ratings allowed with Entellisys™?

  600 volts ac, 4000 amps ac, 50/60 Hz, 250 kA short circuit interrupting

  400 volts ac, 4000 amps ac, 50/60 Hz, 200 kA short circuit interrupting

  600 volts ac, 5000 amps ac, 50/60 Hz, 200 kA short circuit interrupting

  4.

  Permission based functionality to view and edit settings

  8.

How does Entellisys™ yield greater reliability for the electrical system?

A.  A centralized architecture that reduces components and wiring

B.  The need for programmed maintenance on a calendar day frequency

C.  Built-in system redundancy with two separate but synchronized systems so that there is no single point of failure

D.  Advanced warning of potential faults before they occur so that corrective actions can be undertaken

  A and C

  A, B, and C

  A, C, and D

  All of the above

  9.

Which of the following flexibility features helps Entellisys™ to provide great value over the lifetime of the system?

A.  The HMI allows easy fault identification and facilitates root cause analysis enabling quick restoration of power and reduced downtime.

B.  System upgrades can be performed using software, without loss of productivity

C.  Functionality changes during commissioning or normal operation normally require additional hardware and wiring to be installed

D.  Mobile metering capabilities allow the user to assign metering to any circuit without additional CTs, wiring or system shutdown

  A and B

  B, C, and D

  A, B, and D

  All of the above

  10.
