Summary: At Middle East Electricity 2009, leading German company LIOS Technology will present its full range, including the very latest Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) systems and Real Time Thermal Rating (RTTR) solutions for ampacity predictions of energy transmission assets, including: Full project engineering support during tendering and evaluation phase, commissioning and training on site, as well as service and maintenance capabilities.
com: glossary of wire and cable terms from Ampere to XLPE; ampacity charts; types of wire versus environment; installation info; jamming, bending radii, pulling tension and length, sidewall pressure; coefficient of friction; conduit fill and voltage drop on-line calculators; frequently asked questions.
Using DTS, utility companies will be able to accurately monitor electrical capacity - known as Ampacity -- by using actual rather than estimated temperature data, enabling optimal circuit management.
