Wireless Synchronisation Box
As specialists in synchronous grid switchovers, we are always looking for ways to improve. The Wireless Synchronisation Box is a direct result of that drive for innovation. Our innovation allows a wireless reference point to be created when a physical reference point is not possible. This is the Wireless Synchronisation Box.

Smart technology for synchronous grid switchovers
Modern life depends on electricity so power outages can have major consequences. Synchronous grid switchovers allow energy to continue flowing without interruption, but in some locations, creating a physical reference point is technically impossible due to distance or obstruction. Our Wireless Synchronisation Box breaks through these barriers and enables synchronous grid switchovers without physical cabling. This allows us to carry out a synchronous grid switchover (SNO) in all conditions: over distances up to 3 kilometres, at medium voltage levels or with differing transformer clock numbers.
Benefits of the Wireless Synchronisation Box
How the Wireless Synchronisation Box works
The Wireless Synchronisation Box is a proprietary solution developed by Voet. It has already proven its value in the field. The system consists of two components:
Transmitter
Installed at the grid reference point. It gathers crucial grid parameters.Receiver
Connected to the generator. It receives real-time data and ensures perfect synchronisation with the grid.
The transmitter and receiver communicate via a dedicated satellite link. The system automatically measures and compensates for transmission delays, providing a stable and accurate reference point. This allows seamless synchronisation, even in the most complex scenarios.

What is a Wireless Synchronisation Box?
During maintenance or switching operations on an electricity grid, preventing power outages is essential. To achieve this, a generator must be precisely synchronised with the grid. Normally, this is done using a wired reference point, but that is not always possible due to long distances or physical obstacles. The Wireless Synchronisation Box solves this challenge by transmitting synchronisation data wirelessly.
When is a Wireless Synchronisation Box used?
The Wireless Synchronisation Box is used during synchronous grid switchovers when a physical connection between the grid and generator is not feasible. This may be due to long distances, physical obstacles, medium-voltage applications, or other complex site conditions.
What is the difference between a synchronous grid switchover with and without a Wireless Synchronisation Box?
Without a Wireless Synchronisation Box, a physical reference cable is required between the grid and the generator. This can limit flexibility and distance. With the Wireless Synchronisation Box, the same synchronisation principle is applied wirelessly, allowing synchronous grid switchovers to be carried out in situations where physical cabling is not possible.
Is there a power interruption during the switchover?
No. The purpose of the Wireless Synchronisation Box is to enable a fully synchronous grid switchover without any noticeable power interruption, not even for a millisecond.
