Product Overview

HCI Cable Identifier for De-energised Cables

HCI Cable Identifier for De-energised Cables is a power outage cable identification system.

Mistakenly cutting a live cable poses severe safety risks, making precise cable identification essential for field crews. The HCI Cable Identification System replaces manual guesswork and double-numbering checks with automated, 100% accurate identification during power outages. Combining intuitive operation with intelligent signal detection, it enables technicians to instantly pinpoint the correct target cable in dense, complex cable bundles.

Key Applications

Top Features

Impulse Signal Generator (Peak Current up to 100A)

The transmitter injects high-energy current pulses up to 100A into the target cable, generating a distinct, detectable electromagnetic field along its entire length.

Intuitive Receiver Display

Eliminates manual waveform interpretation by giving direct visual results on the screen, instantly showing whether you have found the correct cable, placed the clamp backwards, or picked up no signal. Display results include “Target”, “No Signal” and “Direction Error!”.

High-Accuracy Polarity & Signal Direction Detection

Uses current magnitude and direction (polarity) tracking to ensure 100% reliable identification; only the true target cable returns a strong, positive pulse, while adjacent cables carry weak or reverse-polarity signals.

Optional Twisted Field Sensor for Poor Grounding

Forms a closed loop between two cable core conductors to overcome poor grounding conditions, dramatically expanding the instrument’s operational usability in challenging field environments.
