Gridsense Line IQ
Gridsense Line IQ
LineIQ provides basic line fault indication, as well as intelligent remote monitoring. Basic fault indicators point only to the initial (primary) faults; however, intelligent monitoring helps utilities more quickly isolate faults and restore power through recording real-time data on true voltage, fault waveform, load profile, line status and condition, ambient and conductor temperature, and through providing time-stamped event recordings.
Advanced distribution and sub-transmission line monitoring. Quickly identify faults, protect against overload, and intelligently monitor lines from 5kV to 138kV.
RETRIEVE DATA LOCALLY OR REMOTELY
Onsite wireless connection is available via your laptop and GridSense Local Link with a range up to 150ft (50m). The LineIQ Communications Gateway allows wireless transmission to remote locations via multiple networking options, including cellular, Ethernet, mesh radio, Wi-Fi, and more.
MAXIMIZE GRID EFFICIENCY
Monitor critical distribution andsub-transmission lines (5kV-138kV), with no limitation on load requirements for powersupply operating 24/7 from 1-25,000 Amps. Use one radio for up to 15 units at one location,minimizing costs for substation applications. Dual port communications support multiple radios, simplifying piloting.
ONE CLICK ACCESS
One-Click Access to Your Data with Grid InSite™ Software. View real-time, actionable data about your grid with intuitive, graphical displays and exportable files in graphical or tabular formats. There’s no infrastructure required; all you need is an Internet connection and an Internet device.
AFFORDABLE AND RELIABLE
At the system’s heart is an innovative, self-powered sensor easily installed on energized lines with a standard hotstick. While most line monitoring solutions use an inaccurate inductive coil to measure current, LineIQ uses a highly accurate CT that allows distance to fault calculations.
