Fameca PHANTOM True Phase Identifier Complete Kit
Discover the Fameca PHANTOM True Phase Identifier high-precision, GPS-synchronised system for live phase identification across low and high-voltage networks. With wireless operation, ±1° accuracy, and compatibility with overhead lines, underground cables, and substations, PHANTOM ensures safety, efficiency, and cost savings in network planning, maintenance, and disaster recovery.
- PHANTOM is a unique device designed display phase angle of any point of a network compared to a central reference
- It works on Low Voltage, High Voltage, overhead lines and substations and cabinets
- The network stays live, in its normal operating diagram
- The accuracy of the measure is provided by the GPS synchronisation
- Phasing resolution: ± 1°
- Wireless range: Main field unit and wireless display unit: 45 ft or 14 meters
PHANTOM True Phase Identification System consists of:
- A "central unit" connected to the « point zero » of the operating area giving an absolute reference to whole area and allowing cross checking with surrounding or remote operating areas
- One or more mobile units consisting in a contact probe and a touchscreen display pad
Guarantee the definition of the true phase for following operations:
- Transformer replacement
- Transition between overhead lines and underground cables
- Closing loops or connecting isolated operating areas
- Phase Marking for speeding up network commissioning after disaster
- Geo located phase mapping
- Smart power meter
- Tele measure sensors
Fameca PHANTOM Benefits:
- Planning of distribution networks and control of their development
- Reduction or delay of investment (balancing HVE/LV transformers instead of replacement)
- Reduction of operational costs: operation programmed and carried out with full knowledge of the phase configuration (correct connection guaranteed)
- A reduction of customer power and better service
- Greater safety of installation and persons
- Bringing up to standard and setting up of visual identification on electric installations
- Display of the phase shift with phase index as they are used for transformers, for example YY → 0 4 8 ou DY 11 → 11 3 7 Other types of displays are available
- Compliant with new capacitive test points (Possibility of accurate measure without GPS link for 45 min
- Possibility of accurate differed measure when phone link is not locally available
- Possibility of accurate measure without contact for high voltage This could help the use on overhead lines when regulation prevent from touching live high voltage lines
How do I use the Fameca PHANTOM?
The mobile unit allows the user to positively identify the phases on any area of an overhead or underground network, no matter the physical distance separating it from the reference module.
- Hands-free freedom: The PHANTOM wireless display unit can be strapped on the arm of the operator so that the readings are always in sight without obstructing the view for maneuvers with the hotstick Acquired data saving is done at a touch of a button.
- High performance: Phase measurements are quickly taken in real time as the wireless phase display module is fast and responsive Live measurements are made by comparing readings from the reference module installed on a known phase.
- A The PHANTOM time reference relies on precise GPS satellite signal for flawless accuracy Considering fleet deployment? No problem a limitless number of field units can synchronise measurements with a single reference unit.
- Underground phasing: Using the PHANTOM in underground facilities or inside concrete buildings is easily achieved even in case of cellular and/or GPS network loss The measurements are normally taken, and the results will show up when the PHANTOM is back to communication link.
