Live Working Tools 

Since the second world war,CATU has worked in close co-operation with EDF to research and develop safety equipment and practices for use on low and high voltage networks, initially in France and now worldwide.

Utilities would be better off efficiency of their networks by avoiding outages,whatever the costs. With the increasing recognition of EDF-Serect worldwide, CATU is fast becoming a major supplier in liveline working equipment. All the tools meet the specifications of the International Electrotechnical Committee (IEC).
CATU tools have a liveline life of around 20 years.



IEC short-circuiting and earthing systems for MV substations

These equipment are intended for connection: to permanent fixed points or to bare conductors.
They consist of 3 contact clamps.
1 short-circuit earthing connection set consisting of 3 extra-flexible copper cables with silicone sheath, L = 1.5 m each. 1 trifurcation connector earthed by an extra-flexible copper cable with silicone sheath, L = 2.5 m. 1 earthing clamp. 1 plastic case (M-78665). Comply with IEC-61230.

63 to 550 kV electronic voltage detectors for indoor and outdoor use

Double signalling
Voltage presence indicated at the same time by:
- 4 extremely bright red flashing electro-luminescent diodes (visible at more than 50 meters even in direct lighting),
- a powerful rated acoustic signal (60 dB/2 m).

Checking
Satisfactory operation of the unit is indicated:
- When pressing the test button, by:
• the red diodes flashing,
• the acoustic signal sounding.
- When releasing the TEST button, by:
• timed green up diodes lighting.
As long as they light, the unit continues its self-testing and the detector is fully operational.

High specifications
- Detectors are adjusted, tested and controlled one by one.
- Remarkably resistant to impacts, vibrations, extreme temperatures, humidity and sudden changes in the atmosphere (condensation, freezing).
- Precise and stable operating threshold. Insensitivity to induced voltages by limiting the operating voltage range.
- Robust housing made from polycarbonate with high mechanical properties and dielectric strength.
- The contact electrodes are simply screwed to the housing and are therefore easily interchangeable.

Power supply
- One 9 V battery type 6 LR 61.

End fittings:
- “C” for hexagonal sticks.
- “K” for universal sticks.

Weight
500 g (with battery).

Packaging
Units supplied complete with battery and electrode in a rigid synthetic case with handle.
 
IEC Electronic Voltage Detectors

Compact and light

It offers:
- a wide band (10/36 kV)
- a universal application (50/60 Hz)

Voltage presence is indicated by:
- red flashing LED (very bright -visible at more than 20 m in direct lighting)
- powerful rated audible signal > 60 dB(A)/2 rn

Operating check:
By pressing the TEST button, correct operation is indicated as follows :
- a red LED flashes on
- sound signal
(during and after this test, the timed green LED lights up. While remaining on, it indicates the good working order of the detector)

Characteristics:
- Detectors have unitary adjustment and are checked by routine test
- Dielectrically tested on substation bars (bridging test)
- Precise and stable operating threshold
- Reduced sensitivity to induced voltages
- Reduced sensitivity to interference field
- High environmental resistance (impacts, vibrations, moisture)

Use from 50 to 60 Hz
Temperature conditions: class N (IEC-61243-1 standard).
Storage and operation: -25/ +55 °C
Robust housing.
Power supply: 1 x 9V alkaline battery type 6LR61.
Contact electrodes fitted to the housing by screwing and are easily interchangeable.

End fittings:
C = hexagonal 12 mm, for hexagonal end-fitting sticks.
K = universal, for universal end-fitting sticks.

Weight of the detector: 420 g
Size of the detector: Ø 59 x 270 mm

Packaging: unit supplied complete in a case with batteries and contact electrodes.
Total weight: 1100 g
Total size: 340 x 275 x 83 mm
