G&W Electric, a global leader in innovative power grid solutions, announced the availability of its Accusense® VS-27-UG voltage sensor, a fully integrated voltage sensing solution designed to deliver precise, real-time system visibility in underground distribution applications. Factory tested and seamlessly paired with G&W Electric switchgear, the solution helps utilities simplify deployment, optimize operations, and support long-term grid modernization strategies.
As utility systems expand and adopt more distributed energy resources (DERs), reliable data becomes essential. The Accusense VS-27-UG sensor provides the high accuracy and field-proven reliability utilities need to operate smarter and respond faster to grid instability.
Unlike traditional voltage sensors, this submersible and compact solution is offered fully integrated with G&W Electric switchgear, providing a complete, pre-tested package that simplifies field installation and accelerates deployment. It is also retrofit-ready, so it works seamlessly with both new gear and existing infrastructure.

“Accurate, real-time data is the foundation of grid digitalization,” said John Mueller, chairman and owner of G&W Electric. “We’ve used the Accusense VS-27-UG voltage sensor side-by-side with a competitive sensor in our own microgrid, and the results speak for themselves. The G&W Electric sensor outperformed the competition in both accuracy and reliability.”
The Accusense VS-27-UG sensor has undergone extensive environmental testing, including extreme temperature and humidity cycling that simulates more than 20 years of field performance. Throughout these tests, the sensor consistently maintained its accuracy, reinforcing its value as a long-term solution for grid modernization. These sensors are designed to comply with IEC 60044-7, IEEE 386 and IEEE C37.92 standards for electrical power system equipment.
