Why Powerline condition monitoring – PowerLink CM?

PowerLink CM is an active condition monitoring solution for high-voltage AC or DC transmission lines. It localizes line faults and continuously tracks line conditions, whether lines are powered or unpowered.

Traditional methods struggle with grounded or unpowered lines and demand real-time fault detection. PowerLink CM actively monitors all power line types, providing precise fault localization even after an event so you can react effectively to operational changes or issues.

Localize line faults with high precision, up to 100 meters plus 0.1% of line length. Detect slow, long-term line condition changes to recognize deterioration early for proactive maintenance and increasing line availability. Monitor powered, unpowered or grounded lines to provide comprehensive network surveillance.

Key benefits

Precise fault data

Locate line faults precisely (open or short) on any power line, including phase, ground or metallic return. Get fault location data at the time of the event or trigger it afterward for detailed analysis.

Continuous line condition monitoring

Actively monitor high-voltage transmission lines, including HVAC or HVDC, powered, unpowered or grounded lines. Track variations in line impedance characteristics over time and distance to detect slow, long-term changes.

Diverse fault type detection

Detect ground faults and short circuits with high precision. Use integrated spectrum analysis and efficient frequency management to identify sporadic events and line deterioration.
