Reliable cable selection for de-energised and energised (live) cables Functional description A clear and unambiguous identification of a power cable before cutting or jointing is of paramount importance for safety. Any mistakes can lead to significant property damage, personal injury, or even the death of the cable technician. Additionally, an incident often results in unplanned in-service outages for connected customers. The CI/LCI system has been developed to make the task of cable identification and selection significantly safer and easier. The CI/LCI solution consists of a generator unit...

Medium voltage applications and identification of de-energised cables Electrical tasks in medium voltage installations, such as cable testing, diagnostics, and fault location, must be performed with the circuit switched off and the cables de-energised. The CI TX-1 generator serves this purpose as an active transmitter, emitting pulses of up to 100 A. It can be powered by mains input or by an internal accumulator (rechargeable battery) offering a flexible 4 hours of operating time on a full charge. Signals can be directly injected into the cable via galvanic connection or inductively using the...

Clear identification with the twisted field sensor Low voltage applications and identification of energised cables When working with low-voltage installations, electrical tasks are often carried out under live conditions, with the cables still energised. The challenge is achieving dependable and consistent cable identification without interference from the supply voltage and without impacting any equipment like smart meters or distribution cabinets. For this purpose, the LCI TX generator is connected to the 120 V or 230 V AC mains supply as applicable, through a protective earth lead. The LCI...

Advantages Benefits of the twisted field method when injecting current impulses In contrast to the conventional twisted field method utilising audio frequency, injecting current impulses and measuring the twisted field, e.g. with the TFS CI twisted field sensor, significantly improves cable identification. This method delivers a sharply defined positive signal maximum on the injected phase and a negative signal maximum on the return path. Unlike with the audio frequency method, uninjected conductors carry no detectable signal. The twisted field identification is compatible with both the standard...

Various sets available You can choose from various sets that offer different combinations of CI TX-1 and LCI TX-1. Choices include two flexible clamps (AZF) and three types of mains input plugs (EU, UK, US). Each set comes with a CI RX receiver, TFS CI twisted field sensor, and a lead kit, all stored in a transport case. Additionally, options such as the inductive transmitter clamp SZ80 are also available. The ordering information can be found on the datasheet.
