Unique loop impedance monitoring

No comparable device integrates loop impedance monitoring with Voltage, Current, Power, Power Quality, Power Fluctuations and Harmonics. Monitoring Loop Impedance has multiple benefits, including identifying a broken neutral. Lives will be saved by identifying problems in the network that may lead to hazardous touch voltages.

Identify HV open-phase conditions

HV open-phase conditions pose significant health and safety risks, but until now there has been no easy way of detecting them. With PowerPilot, you can measure the voltages and phase angles of three-phase transformers and reliably detect an open circuit on one of the upstream high voltage conductors. For instance, a load-side conductor could be down where there is insufficient earth fault current to operate a protective device. The probable location of the fault could be inferred by grouping faults together.

Conductor Down

PowerPilot provides an original solution to a long-standing electricity industry problem. How to detect that a live HV conductor is down when it falls to the ground while it is still connected at the load side..

Public and Network Safety

No comparable device integrates loop impedance monitoring with Voltage, Current, Power, Power Quality, Power Fluctuations and Harmonics.

Performance Management

The “Last Gasp ” loss-of-power report informs a control room immediately of a fault. This can mean that a crew can get to hazardous situation such as a “cable down” faster and reduce the time anyone is exposed to danger.

Reliability

Whenever power is lost, PowerPilot uses a small amount of stored energy to report the outage. This immediate alert to the control room means a maintenance crew can be dispatched to restore connectivity, potentially even before the consumer notices.

Performance

Dealing with customer complaints regarding power quality usually involves installing a power quality monitor and recording the voltage for a while, retrieving the device and then analysing the data to determine if corrective action is required, if the PQ monitor even records an excursion event at all.
