PowerSense’s cutting edge monitoring and control equipment designed for Cable Substation Solution is based on our optical DISCOS^® Sensor technology and a specially designed voltage sensor. The DISCOS^® System is installed directly onto the MV and the LV power lines and has been designed to be retrofitted to any existing power equipment. Installation of the DISCOS^® System onto the MV lines is non-invasive, but for safety reasons requires switching of the distribution transformer for 15 minutes, whereas installation of the DISCOS^® System onto the LV lines can be done live and without making any electrical or physical intervention on the installation.

The PowerSense Cable Substation Solution can be used in combination with the PowerSense Overhead Line Solution.

1. The DISCOS^® Optical Current and LV Voltage Sensor are installed directly onto the MV and the LV power lines.
   
   
2. The DISCOS^® SmartCom RTU can communicate through several different channels, for example SMS, GPRS/3G, TCP/IP, RS232, USB, WiMAX. Different messages can be sent through different communication channels. This means that fault management information can be sent directly to the SCADA system, and asset management information can be sent to other IT systems.
   
   
3. Data are available in the customer database.
   
   
4. Data are available in the customer’s high-level IT system through the Advanced Service Bus System.
   
   
5. All data are visualised in the SCADA platform.
