Abstract: The invention relates to a method for allowing a configuration change of an Intelligent Electronic Device (IED) of a power system, wherein the configuration change affects an operation of the IED. The method comprises receiving a request at the IED for the configuration change, wherein the request comprises a configuration change signal. The configuration change signal is received at the IED in response to establishing a connection between an I/O module of the IED and a signalling component. The method further comprises verifying the request automatically by the IED, wherein verifying the request comprises detecting a predetermined signal pattern at the I/O module upon receiving the configuration change signal, wherein the predetermined signal pattern is stored in a memory associated with the IED. In addition, the method comprises enabling the configuration change in response to successful verification of the request by the IED.

Abstract: The invention relates to remote activation of a communication module of a self-powered intelligent electronic device (IED). The IED controls an auto recloser mounted on an electric pole of a power distribution network. A controller of the IED, receives an activation signal from a trigger source, positioned within a predefined distance from the IED, through an optical sensor to activate the communication module. A control signal is generated, upon the controller of the IED detecting the activation signal, for powering the communication module from a power supply module. The power supply module is enabled to power the communication module for a duration controlled with the control signal. The communication module is activated for communicating a plurality of data associated with the IED to a remote communication device upon enabling the power supply module for the communication module.
