  • Page 7: Overview

    OVERVIEW 2. OVERVIEW Figure 1 VIEW of the M.PAD system mPAD is developed, designed manufactured by the MADE S.A. company Its main functions are:  The identification of the phase and feeder at any point in the LV network, live and under load, downstream of a distribution Substation.

  • Page 8: Operating Principle

    The complete system is housed in a robust transport case. MPAD consists of a transmitter, left in place once turned on, and a receiver which is connected to the network at the points at which the phase and feeder are to be identified.

    OVERVIEW 2.2.Components Receiver Croc clips Connecting cables for the Transmitter test mode 2.3.Brief description of setting up the system The conditions for access and connection are governed by the rules established by the Network Operator. 2.3.1. Placing the transmitter  Connect the neutral and the three phases to one of the feeders from the distribution substation.

    TRANSMITTER it is only necessary that the directional marks on the underside are all facing the transformer.  Turn on the transmitter and check that there are no error messages on the display.  Take the receiver to the various points on the network requiring identification to carry this out.

    4. Red to L3 This association must be complied with since the phase identification is made relative to these connections of the network to the transmitter. Thus the network phase connected to the green connector is shown as L1 on the receiver even this is the phase three in the substation.

  • Page 16: Connection Of The Current Measurement Rogowski Coils

    3.4.Connection of the current measurement Rogowski coils The mPAD is equipped with 4 to 12 flexible (Rogowski) coils for current measurement depending on the chosen option. These coils are grouped in fours in a robust cable sheath fixed to the transmitter.
  • Page 17 TRANSMITTER The coils must definitely be closed around the three phases and NOT the neutral, see the drawing below. In addition, they must all be in the same sense. To be sure of this the marking on each coil should be oriented towards the transformer (the opposite, all towards the load is also useable, but for reasons of simplicity and to have a simple rule for setting up, the first is preferable ;...

    TRANSMITTER 3.5.Turn-On Once the connections described in §3.2 and §3.3 above have been made, it suffices to press the “I” on the power switch. The cooling fan starts, the fault LED µP extinguishes, and the display gives some indications:  The name of the device (mPAD) ...

  • Page 19: System Test Mode

    TRANSMITTER 3.7.System Test Mode mPAD employs significant number Rogowski current measurement coils. Although the connections have been chosen with care for reliability and robustness, a bad contact could develop. To ensure that the system is functioning correctly, a test mode, easy to use, is available.

    Turn-on button 4.2.Connection The MPAD receiver is connected to the LV network using the cables supplied with fused 4 mm. banana plugs IP2X CAT IV, on which are fitted probe points or croc clips. It is important that, once the connection is made, it is maintained without interruption until the full data block is received from the transmitter (between 4 and 20s).

    It is thus possible that in some cases the sum of these effects militate against the correct operation of MPAD. Nevertheless, even if the performance may be affected, it can fulfil most of its function.

  • Page 23: If Only The Phase Is Identified

    ADVICE FOR USE IN DISTURBED ENVIRONMENT 5.1.If only the phase is identified The data blocks are received from the transmitter but the feeder is not or ambiguously identified. 5.1.1. Single phase access  The phase to which the client is connected has a problem, it may be that this is temporary, in which case a new attempt a little later will work.

    6.1.4. The LED fault µP is lit and there is a message on the display  Connection fault : Check that the connections are correctly made, that there are no inversions phase/neutral and that all fuses are OK.  Transmission problem : Check the connections, there could be a bad contact or a fuse blown.
