Cable identifiers

There are situations where it is necessary a correctly identification the

distribution cables, such as in fault repairing, executing splices or branches,

conducting campaigns client connectivity, etc.

Cut the wrong cable may have the following consequences:

- Danger of accidents.

- Cut in electricity supply.

These equipments are very helpfulf or the maintenance department because

they allow us to identify a particular cable before acting on it…

Equipments:

Ariadna CI: Identifies the cable in medium and low voltage, and de-

energized cables.

Ariadna IC1G: Identifies low voltage cables

Ariadna CI

Cable identifiers

Ariadna CI FEATURES

Identifies:

- Cables without voltage.

- Cables with voltage, medium and low voltage.

Works on:

- Single-phase cables.

-Cables of 3-phase or 3-phase + neutral.

The injection signal is produced by:

- Direct connection to wires.

- Signal induced by an inductive clamp (optional).

- Detects the amplitude and polarity of an active signal.

- Maximum cable distance> 10 km (direct connection).

- The transmitter's rechargeable Li-ion battery lasts 24h in the level 2 of

transmission (has 4 levels).

Cable identifiers

Ariadna CI

•Interesting for electrical maintenance departments and contractors

•Identifies medium voltage cables without disconnecting from the

network. The equipment handling is always done at low voltage.

•Identifies unipolar or tripolar leads

•The transmitter TX is connected to the network and the signal travels

upstream directly to the transformer (low voltage) or to the substation

(medium voltage).

Ariadna IC1G

Cable identifiers: IC1G

IC1G FEATURES

Identifies BT cables without power outage.

Valid for LOW VOLTAGE distribution cables up to 250V (50 or 60 Hz).

Identifies unipolar or multipolar cables.

The algorithm used runs continuously, and in few seconds a positive

identification of the analyzed cable is done.

Easy operation because of automatic synchronization between

transmitter and receiver.

On the graphic display of the transmitter TX, shown the voltage at the

point of injection, and in the receiver RX, intensity and polarity of the

signal detected


Ariadna IC1G

•Interesting for the departments of low voltage electrical maintenance

•Only identifies low voltage cables connected to the network

•The transmission unit is very compact (like the line unit)

•The transmitting unit TX is connected to the network and the signal travels

upstream toward the center of transformation.

What is the L.V. connectivity? The link between…

L.V. electricity meter M.V./L.V. Transformer, phase and feeder

Low Voltage Connectivity, transformer, phase y feeder

Why LV connectivity?

• Simulate LV loads per transformer, feeder and phase. Load Balance

• Detect LV technical and non-technical losses

• Determine new customer’s connection points without making a specific study on the

field

• Find critical network spots before any incident occurs

• Generate fictitious network traces

• Spot network failure elements, by grouping customer’s incidents by connectivity link

• Determine which customers to be notified before any programmed supply interrupt is

made

• Identify exactly which customers need to be compensated due to power supply

incidents.

Ariadna ILF-12

Low voltage phase and feeder identifiers

ILF12 FEATURES

Works in service, without de-energizing the feeder.

Three phases and up to 12 feeders can be identified in few seconds.

It can be encoded the central unit's number to work with different

equipments simultaneously

Proved efficiency on line distances greater than 1 km.

Central and Line Unit communicate with each other by means of coded

messages through the distribution network. This way the use of radio or

other communication extra equipment is avoided.

Operational for all kind of Low Voltage network configurations, Delta,

Triangle (no neutral) and up to 440 Vac between phases, 50 or 60 Hz, with

coupled and/or ringed feeders.

A single operator can easily use it


Ariadna ILF12

Allows us to obtain data connectivity customers connected to large

transformers up to 12 lines.

For more number of lines, we can work with several central units in

parallel.

The central unit is placed in the center of transformation, and operator

captures customer data with the line unit downstream in the network..



Ariadna ILF-12

Ariadna ILF-6


ILF6 FEATURES

Works on live networks, without de-energizing the line

Three phases and up to 6 feeders can be identified in few seconds

Proved efficiency in lines of more than 1 km

Central and Line Unit communicate with each other by means of coded

messages through the distribution network. This way the use of radio or other

communication extra equipment is avoided

Usable by a single operator

Operational for all kinds of Low Voltage network configurations, up to 480 V

between phases, 50 or 60 Hz, with coupled and/or ringed lines

“Plug and Play”. Contains what is needed to start working, without any

additional adjustment or programming


Ariadna ILF6

• Allows us to obtain data connectivity customers connected to

transformers up to 6 lines.

• For more number of lines, we can work with several central units in

parallel.

• The central unit is placed in the center of transformation, and

operator captures customer data with the line unit downstream in the

network..

• Lets work on single-phase 3-wire output (2-phase and neutral).
