Features:
- Wireless Phasing: Eliminates the need for traditional long, cumbersome cables between the two units (transmitter and receiver). This improves safety and makes the phasing process quicker and easier.
- Wide Voltage Range: Operates on systems from 4 kV to 230 kV (line-to-line), covering a broad range of applications in overhead and underground power systems.
- Long Range: Offers a range of over 33 feet through the air and over 1,000 feet along overhead conductors, allowing for phasing operations at a safe distance.
- Through-Wall Phasing: Can perform phasing operations through walls and metal enclosures, making it suitable for situations where direct access to conductors is limited.
- Clear Indications: Provides clear visual (LEDs) and audible indications of in-phase/out-of-phase conditions, ensuring accurate and unambiguous results.
- Rugged and Lightweight: Designed for field use with a rugged and lightweight construction, making it easy to transport and use in various environments.
- Safety Features: Includes an All-Check self-test feature to verify proper operation before use, enhancing safety. Â
Applications:
- Overhead and Underground Phasing: Used for phasing operations on both overhead and underground power distribution systems. Â
- Connecting Circuits: Ensures that circuits are in-phase before they are connected, preventing short circuits and equipment damage. Â
- Switching Operations: Verifies phase relationships during switching operations to maintain system stability.
