Live Low Voltage Phase Identification System
The “Live Trace” live low voltage phase identification system is used for positively identifying phase conductors of low voltage distribution systems. The transmitter unit is placed at a point of known phasing on the low voltage area, and one of the receivers is used to identify the phase connection of houses or streetlights connected to
Read MoreContact Receiver
The contact phase identification receiver is designed for use in 3 phase switchboards, and similar areas where there is not enough physical separation to identify conductors using the non-contact receiver. Simply place the active and neutral probes on phase and neutral respectively, and the LCD will display the phase to which the receiver is connected.

Device Description The Mantis Cable Core Identifier (CCI) is used to identify the phasing of DE-ENERGISED HV cables. Quite often underground HV cables do not have consistent phase markings. This is generally because the physical dimensions of the cable and associated jointing systems prohibit joining cables core-to-core meaning that core transpositions are common in HV

It’s been a while since I posted part 1 of my build, and things have been slowly progressing. Here I will show some of the disassembly process, and the basic mock up of the component placement. The fuel tank, seat, exhaust, engine, gearbox, fuel and battery systems were all stripped out of the frame. I

This is the first article of many about my latest project which is an electric motorcycle. It is a personal project that I thought may interest visitors to this site. I have wanted to start a full sized electric motorcycle build for a while, but components for these types of projects can be difficult to

I recently had to work out how to get a common laptop HSDPA (3G) Modem to work with the MT7620n SOC On OpenWRT. I used my all time favourite development board the WRTNode. The card is an Ericsson F3307 mobile broadband card. It is PCI-e format, but not technically a PCI-e card. It runs on
