stroombewaking
Stroombewaking is a term used in electrical engineering to describe the ongoing monitoring of electrical current and related parameters in power systems to detect abnormal conditions. The aim is to prevent damage, enhance safety, and improve reliability and efficiency by identifying overloads, short circuits, leakage currents, or tampering with installations.
Typical implementations combine sensors such as current transformers or Hall-effect sensors with digital monitoring units. These
Applications span industrial plants, commercial buildings, energy infrastructure, data centers, and marine or transportation environments. It
Benefits include earlier fault detection, reduced risk of electrical fires, improved safety for personnel, minimized downtime,
