In order to assure a good quality
of supply, electric utility companies and their contractors
need to maintain reliable distribution network connectivity
data.
For this purpose, in many occasions it becomes necessary
to identify correctly live distribution network cables:
- before opening a fuse.
- when making branches on feeders.
- on connectivity data campaigns,
etc.
This identification has to
be quick and unambiguous because of the possible consequences
(life threat, network failure, etc.) that could derive
of choosing the wrong cable.
The IC1G LV Cable Identifier has been designed for this
purpose, and the main feature it includes is the positive
identification of Low Voltage (LV) electric distribution
cables.
Central
Unit IF3 CU
Works without de-energizing
the line, so electrical supply is kept throughout
the identification process.
Central Unit (UC) is connected to transformer LV
side, and injects phase and feeder codes throughout
the LV network.
Line
Unit ILF6 LU
Line Unit (LU) is connected to
the LV customer side, and after a few seconds shows
subscriber’s connectivity information (phase
and feeder) on a LCD display.
“Plug and Play”.
Contains what is needed to start working, without
any additional adjustment or programming.
The signal detection algorithm, embedded in a
microprocessor, guarantees a positive identification
even in long and noisy cables.
Its small size and weight eases the use of the
equipment even in places of difficult access,
like trenches, manholes, etc.
