EN.SURE Power Cable DTS System

The Luna EN.SURE power cable DTS system is an optical fiber-based temperature measurement system designed to monitor underground T&D power cables and overhead transmission lines. Using an optical fiber embedded in the power cable, or installed externally, the EN.SURE system can continuously monitor and predict power cable load, cable core temperature over single-ended lengths of up to 40 km per system.

The EN.SURE power cable DTS system provides a continuous temperature profile over the entire length of the sensor cable with a resolution better than 1°C, offering superior hot spot detection on underground T&D power cables and overhead transmission lines over distances of up to 40 km. This distance can be increased to 70 km by choosing our unique Long Range EN.SURE DSTS system.

By combining the EN.SURE system with our class-leading RTTR software, the DTS system can calculate the cable conductor temperature in real-time to predict cable load (Real-Time Thermal Rating), thereby allowing the operator to run the cable above nominal capacity for peak emergency situations.

A Mean Time Between Failures of 40+ years

A power cable DTS system must be very reliable and in this regard, the EN.SURE system is exceptional. The controller has no moving parts, it is immune to electromagnetic disturbances, and it has an MTBF of 40+ years, ensuring reliable temperature monitoring in even the toughest environments.

The self-diagnosing features free you from worrying and allow you to focus on other important tasks.

Features

  • Superior hotspot detection along the whole sensor cable
  • Flexible and direct connection to management systems such as SCADA (link)
  • Up to 16 individual channels enabling one unit to cover complex infrastructure
  • Temperature resolution better than 1 °C
  • Maintenance-free and simplified outdoor installation capability
  • Real-time Thermal Rating (RTTR) software calculation engines based on IEC, AEIC, and IEEE standards
  • Mean Time Between Failures of 40+ years


When choosing a power cable DTS system from Luna, you not only buy the most reliable DTS hardware on the market but also our decade-long expertise in power cable and transmission line temperature monitoring. We partner with you from the initial planning phase, over installation and commissioning and when everything is running, we can offer service agreements to ensure your DTS solution operates smoothly for years to come.
