FC5000 - Cable and Phase Identification System for energized cables

Click on Image to Enlarge

The FC5000 allows cable and phase identification on low voltage energized cables. It is used to identify customer connections, to balance the network and to better understand network design. This phase identifier is a very accurate and easy to use equipment
The FC5000E transmitter is first connected between the system phases, at the end of a group of cables.  Between two phases, the transmitter draws a current whose frequency is different from that of the system or its harmonics.

Cable groups are identified by moving the detector head along the cables.  An acoustic and light signal locates the cable group connected to the transmitter.  The detector, or its external probe (optional), is then moved to where the cables separate and the cables can be individually tested to determine the specific phase.
