Introducing Φ ID 2500

PSI's novel Phase ID System is a nonintrusive tool that is versatile and easy to use. The system correctly identifies the phase of both low and medium voltage overhead distribution cables including MV Spacer cable.

The PSI Phase Identification System accurately identifies the phase of pad mounted equipment with both live and dead front connections. In addition, the PSI Phase ID system determines the various phases of a pad mounted transformer on both the low voltage and medium voltage cables. The ΦID 2500 has these features:

  • Fast and easy to use
  • Web enabled
  • Never out of wireless range
  • Design for both OH & UG electric distribution systems
  • Utility tested
  • Determines phase (A, B, C) & (A', B', C') and phase angle in one (1) second
  • Compensation for ± 30 degrees from ΔY and YΔ connections
  • Dynamic range from 75V to 69KV AC
  • Cellular and satellite wireless
  • LCD Display indicates phase of conductor under test
  • Weather Proof Keyboard for field data entry
Utility Tested

The PSI ΦID 2500 was successfully tested under tough field conditions by utility service crews using both cellular and satellite wireless communications.

The Phase ID 2500 system is in use today at electric utilities, and is routinely performing phase determinations on distribution systems.

Φ ID 2500 Description

To enable immediate phase identification in the field, the operator of the tool uses a hot stick to place the tool in contact with the cable to be phased. The phase of that cable is immediately read out on an LCD digital display.

The combination of a fixed reference system and the portable ΦID 2500 tools provide accurate phase identification. Extensive on-line diagnostics provide a quick and easy troubleshooting aid to ensure optimal system performance.

The measurements are automatically sent from Field equipment set to the Base Unit as they are made. The phased conductor information is stored indefinitely on the Base Unit with Web based data retrieval over cellular or optional Ethernet.

Benefits

PSI's Phase ID System offers fast, accurate and affordable phase identification. The PSI Phase ID system enables utilities to improve the quality of operating practices and their readiness to deal with emergencies. The potential benefits are significant and result in:

  • Improved decision-making process during system emergency conditions
  • Improved overall distribution system reliability
  • Reduce operating and maintenance costs
