PREMIUM SURGE PROTECTION
MasterMind Monitoring Options
®
For Select®2, TransGuard® and EGPE2® Products
Features and benefits
• Provides real-time system data
• Operates via convenient, touch-pad controls
• MasterMIND® can be remote-mounted
The Current Technology® MasterMIND Monitoring System is an
optional, multifunction power monitor for Select2®, TransGuard® and
EGPE2® suppression filter systems. A robust, full-featured system,
MasterMIND provides real-time data on product performance and
distribution system power quality. A touchpad-operated data display
with multicolor LED indicators and audible alarm communicates
information to the operator. MasterMIND helps validate product
performance, electrical system reliability and power quality through
these comprehensive capabilities:
% Protection Available Sensing: MasterMIND senses and displays
the available surge protection for each phase. With microprocessorbased circuitry, MasterMIND senses each hybrid element fuse, calculates the amount of protection still active in the circuit and displays
this value as a percentage of total protection. This capability assures
the operator that critical loads are fully and safely protected with a
failure-free device. Unlike passive monitoring systems that provide
“all or nothing” post-event data, MasterMIND provides real-time
analysis of the percent of protection remaining so the true status of
the suppression filter system is known. This feature monitors the
status of the MOVs, filter capacitors and selenium cells (Select®2
products only).

Display Event Counter: The counter measures and displays the
cumulative number of transients detected in all 10 modes of the
surge suppression device (SPD) device. These measurements
confirm the value of SPD protection and allow the operator to
evaluate the frequency of power disturbances experienced
within a facility. In addition, with multiple installations of
MasterMIND-equipped devices, the operator can troubleshoot a
distribution system to locate sources of internally-generated
transients.
Battery-Powered Audible Alarm: An alarm notifies the operator
of single- or multiple-phase failures of the suppression filter system, regardless of AC power availability and independent of all
other monitoring functions. A standard, field-replaceable 9-volt
alkaline battery powers the audible alarm to sound in the event
of a total power failure. The alarm has a silence switch and a
test switch. Separate LEDs illuminate when the alarm is disabled
and when the battery requires replacement.

Detection Capabilities: MasterMIND detects, displays and
records these power events within a facility:
Voltage Sag Detection:
Counts and displays all voltage sags < 90% of nominal.
Voltage Swell Detection:
Counts and displays all voltage swells > 110% of nominal.
Voltage Surge Detection:
Counts and displays all voltage surges > 130% of peak voltage.
Neutral-to-Ground Voltage and Current Sensing: The RMS
voltage measured across the neutral and ground alerts the
operator of a possible neutral-to-ground bonding problem or
asymmetrical load within the distribution system. Current
detected on the ground conductor could indicate excessive
leakage through the SPD’s neutral-to-ground path – a truer
indication of neutral-to-ground MOV degradation.
MasterMIND’s neutral-to-ground voltage and ground currentsensing features are invaluable tools for monitoring the overall
well being of a distribution system.
Enhanced Status Indicators: Operators can easily and quickly
check the status indicators to review the operational integrity
of the hybrid elements in each phase including MOVs, capacitors and selenium (Select®2 only).
Power Dropout Detection:
Counts and displays all power dropouts < 1 cycle.
Power Outage Detection:
Counts and displays all power outages > 1 cycle.
True RMS Voltage Monitoring: This unique feature monitors
the true Root Mean Square (RMS) voltage for all phases to
assure the operator that the facility’s system voltage is within
specifications–for the sake of the connected loads and the
TVSS device itself.
Dual Form “C” Dry Contacts: Equipped with two sets of form
“C” contacts, MasterMIND provides building managers and
maintenance personnel the means to remotely monitor phase
failures of SPD devices within their own facility management
system. Additionally, the entire MasterMIND device with
all its advanced functions, is available in a remote-mount
configuration upon request.
MasterMIND is a full-featured monitoring option for Current Technology Select®2 (shown here), TransGuard® and EGPE2® products.
