ALVIN Linksense™ provides network operators with the most versatile Low Voltage network reconfiguration system commercially available.

EA Technology’s universally programmable actuator ALVIN Linksense™ uses the unique SafeOn™ switching technology incorporated within the Linksense™  device. This technology allows virtually any operation to be programmed into the unit providing multifunctional operations.

ALVIN Linksense™ can measure instantaneous values of current (I) and voltage (V) including Root-Mean-Squared Voltage (RMS), harmonics and power factor, this can be tailored according to the customers’ requirements for each installation.

ALVIN Linksense™ requires no manual intervention and will remotely test the network condition prior to automatically. Unlike other devices, this can be done multiple times without the requirement for engineer intervention.

Features:

• SafeOn™ is a current limiting technology that reduces dangers of Closing on Low Voltage” faults
• Wireless communications are contained within the unit allowing communications and future expansion of data or interrogation by an operator.
• Safe and quick isolation of faults in either (manual or automatic modes)
• Internal temperature monitoring provides additional information within the linkbox environment
• Compatible with all major Link box manufacturers
• Fully sealed IP67

Benefits:

• Low cost equipment
• Low maintenance and lifecycle cost
• Extended asset life: limited current flow on engagement offers less stress on the asset providing increased asset life cycle.
• Increase resource efficiency/reduced operational expenditure
• Can reduced network imbalance offering potential savings through network reinforcement deferrals.

ALVIN Linksense™ can be programmed to customer requirements, these settings allow interconnected and radial networks to be applied in an automatic configuration improving availability and reliability of supply.
