Fault Management

Transflekt

TDR based LV fault locator

Fast, simple, precise location of transient LV cable faults.

Overview

Transflekt uses advanced Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) techniques to locate transient LV faults by monitoring the circuit until a fault occurs naturally – caused by the normal system level voltages.

Transflekt accurately locates the position of transient faults with no network interruptions or unnecessary strain on cables being tested. Transflekt continuously gathers voltage, current and TDR reflections from the cable. When a transient fault occurs, Transflekt communicates fault-related information to a remote server for analysis of TDR traces collected before and during a fault incident.

Compact and easy to install, Transflekt can be connected anywhere on the distribution network, permitting triangulation of fault locations from multiple Kelvatek LV devices. This simplifies identification of a faulty branch on multi-branched networks, significantly reducing the time and cost of pin-pointing faults.

Benefits

Reducing CI CML

Reduced CI/CMLs

Transflekt can locate faults during first fault activity, reducing customer interruptions, minutes lost and potentially costly penalties.

Less time spent on site

Once fitted, Transflekt can be left connected on the network until fault activity occurs, reducing the amount of time staff are required on-site.
