Products & Services For Power Utility Networks

The Cresatech CuTS system for monitoring copper grounded and earthed site infrastructure is designed to monitor changes to the system that occur when cut, damaged or degraded. 

This system uses sense wire inputs and the monitored infrastructure is coupled into a sensing circuit which detects minor changes (down to below 0.02 micro Henrys). If any change occurs beyond the acceptable threshold, an alarm is activated alerting the user to the changes. 

The scalable solution allows real time notification of service disruptions and removal - all of which minimises service down time, enhances site safety and ensures customer service is not interrupted.
