PORTABLE DISCOVERER FAULT DETECTOR

ASK A QUOTE

Portable device for rapid detection of permanent faults on overhead medium voltage grids

The Portable discoverer unit is designed to detect permanent faults on 50 Hz and 60 Hz medium voltage lines. It is capable to detect single-phase to ground faults without any direct connection to the lines. It is generally used to carry out the operations of troubleshooting along lines without protective relays or other fault detection devices.

Benefits

Thanks to its sensor it can detect faut condition without any direct connection to MV line.

Fault detection can be performed at a safety distance from the faulty MV asset.

Quick detection of the fault and the consequent restoration of the service.
