HV Single Phase Comparators

CATU CL-7-4-18

CATU has recently introduced a new single pole phase comparator, operating up to 36kV, to the Electrical Safety market. The CATU CL-7-4-18 is used to identify voltage differences between two points on 4kV and 18kV networks. Certified to IEC 61481-1 standards.

The new range of Phase Comparators are easy to use with user friendly features:

  • Single-pole device with C, K, W end-fitting
  • Storage of frequency and phase of distribution network voltages
  • Push-button test of the device, which also resets the memory
  • Class C: (maximum time for storing information in memory: 15 seconds when not connected to the line) . Non accordance (+110° to +250°)
  • LED indicators:
    • Orange (M) indicating the storage of a phase and the mains frequency;
    • Green (C) indicating that the mains phase is identical to the one previously stored (match); + discontinuous beep buzzer.
    • Red (I) indicating that the phase of the network is of a different phase from that previously stored (mismatch) + continuous beep buzzer.
  • Voltage difference between the two networks to be compared: +/- 15%.
  • Angle difference between the two phases (networks) to be compared: +/- 10°
  • The red ring indicates the physical limit to which the phase comparator can be inserted between live parts (57 cm from the red ring to the end fitting).
  • Option: Antenna Magnefix with a U Max utilisation : 18 kV, Order Ref C-921545
