Low Voltage Networks

At the heart of energy infrastructure, where ageing infrastructure meets the surge of EVs and heat pumps, low voltage underground cables are the unseen backbone of daily life. At Camlin Energy, we’re committed to safeguarding these vital assets.

Introduction

Our LV Underground Monitoring solutions empower Network Operators to detect issues before they escalate, locate faults with pinpoint accuracy, and restore power faster. Drawing on decades of experience in protecting UK Networks, we help you navigate the unique challenges of urban and rural networks alike, ensuring safer, more efficient operations.

A smarter response to the LV fault challenge

Ageing low voltage (LV) infrastructure and rising demand from low carbon technologies are putting unprecedented pressure on underground networks. In this demanding environment, effective fault management is essential to sustaining network stability and reliability. Our solution directly confronts these pressures by predicting, identifying, and pinpointing faults swiftly, cutting downtime and delivering a dependable service.

We enable network operators to adopt a proactive, data-driven strategy for fault handling. The intricacies of fault detection in buried LV cables, coupled with the urgency of rapid incident response, demand advanced monitoring and support tools. Without them, outages drag on, repairs grow expensive, and resources stretch thin – all while customer expectations for seamless supply climb higher.
