3m Sensored Cable Accessories

For The Medium Voltage Grid

Now there’s an economical, proven way to gain visibility to distribution grid electrical measurements.

The power generation mix is changing due to the integration of renewables and electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructures.

Load profiles, voltage level fluctuations and power flow direction challenges are emerging and utilities need more insight into their medium voltage distribution system.

Join The Webinar

19th May, at 2 pm (UK time): The first webinar will provide an awareness of the trends impacting the medium voltage electric grid and will highlight 3M sensing solutions.
9th June, at 2 pm (UK time): The second webinar will focus on ENEL’s power Utility experience.

➡ Join The Webinar

Join our two live, free webinars to learn how 3M Sensored Cable Accessories can help to automate the medium voltage grid and support the integration of more renewable energies and the adoption of electric vehicles.

The first webinar “Digitising the Medium Voltage Underground Grid” will provide an introduction and the second one “Enabling ENEL’s Smart Grid Development” is about the experience of ENEL Power Utility.

3M Sensored Cable Accessories

Sensored Cable Accessories (SCA), from 3M, provide a retrofittable, compact and economical way for Distribution System Operators (DSOs) to gain visibility and data from their distribution grid with voltage and current measurements.

As the need and importance of measurement and data in the underground grid rises, 3M SCA provides a simple path to high accuracy solutions for assessing and improving fault detection, power flow and power quality. The advent of new regulations and integration of renewables into the medium voltage network, make the need for high accuracy measurements critical for assessing the health of your electrical grid and better managing the future of the network’s grid modernisation.
