Product catalog summary
Overview
The Nortech Pavica is a compact and lightweight instrument designed for monitoring and analyzing vibrations in overhead transmission lines. It measures vibration frequency and amplitude, storing data in a high-definition matrix to estimate conductor life expectancy based on IEEE and CIGRE standards.

Installation and Features
The device can be installed on various conductor types, both live and non-energized, and is compatible with different clamp types, including cushioned attachments. It features a gauged cantilever beam sensor and a microprocessor housed in a cylindrical casing. The device is equipped with software for easy configuration and data retrieval, providing real-time analysis and life expectancy calculations.

Specifications
  • Measuring Principle: IEEE Bending Amplitude Standard
  • Evaluation Method: Endurance limit method (EPRI) or CIGRE lifetime estimation
  • Sensor Type: Strain-gauged cantilever beam
  • Amplitude Range: Four programmable scale patterns
  • Frequency Range: Two programmable scale patterns
  • Matrix Size: 4096 counters (64 amplitude x 64 frequency intervals)
  • Operating Temperature: -40 to +85°C
  • Autonomy: Up to 3 months
  • Dimensions: 18 x 13 x 7 cm
  • Weight: Approx. 0.5 kg

Operation
The device uses strain gauges to generate signals proportional to conductor bending amplitude, storing frequency and amplitude data in a matrix. The microprocessor estimates conductor life expectancy at the end of each monitoring period, with data accessible via RS-232 communication. The embedded software allows parameter entry and data retrieval on Windows platforms.

Applications
  • Evaluates vibration response of line designs and hardware
  • Estimates life expectancy of conductors under aeolian vibrations
  • Identifies potential vibration issues
  • Aids in selecting and positioning anti-vibration devices
  • Supports maintenance and refurbishment planning
