TWS MkVI Traveling wave fault locator
Provides exact fault location to one span
A device that provides extremely precise fault location on mulitple lines enabling operation and maintenance engineers to respond rapidly to events to correct defects at minimum cost and maximum efficiency.
7 ways TWS can save time and money and improve reliability:
- Reduce line patrol manpower costs
- Reduce aerial patrol costs
- Prevent re-occuring faults
- Reduce power quality impact of ‘preventable faults’
- Eliminate separate substation clock
- Reduce costs to maintain system security during line outage
- Reduce cost of regulatory fines due to power outage
- Accuracy to ±500 feet (±150 meters) independent of impedance methods
- Reduce downtime by getting to the fault site faster
- Track intermittent self clearing faults and focus maintenance at the right spot to prevent a major breakdown
- Results automatically displayed and e-mailed
- Fast installation and set up on multiple lines - no line or substation outage required
- Modular, reliable hardware
- Flexible communications
- Up to 8 line modules to monitor up to 8 circuits
- GPS card, pulse output - optional 1pps or 1ppm selectable
Fault location on interconnected overhead lines where high reliability is important. Accurate,consistent results for all types of faults quickly displayed in a control room or engineering center where the information is needed to direct maintenance teams and reduce downtime.
