When all 3 parameters match, it pertains to the desired cable. This is displayed accordingly on the receiver display. Calibration The first step during cable identification with KSG 200 A/KSG 200 TA is the calibration of the transmitter and receiver. During calibration, the connected cable is analysed for faults and amplitude. As the amplitude depends on the loop resistance, the receiver automatically sets the gain to 100% of the output amplitude.

Phase determination (optional) HASE DETERMINATION OPTIONAL The phase determination with KSG 200 A/KSG 200 TA works similar to the cable identification. On the earthed and shorted substation, current pulses are coupled to the phases L1, L2, L3 detected there with the clip-on current transformer AZ (optional). At the place of installation, the receiver is connected to the specific phases one after the other.
