TAURUS
MAX - 3 EHF
Overhead EHV AC Transmission Line Analyser

TAURUS MAX- 3 EHF Overhead EHV AC Transmission line Analyzer is a state of the art
offline portable kit, capable of detecting accurately any fault on EHV Transmission lines
and also helps you to venture beyond, into innovative line signature analysis study, useful
in predictive maintenance of Transmission lines.
Need of the hour : The currently employed online measuring systems, part of the
protective relay apparatus, is executed in real time and designed to trade off accuracy for
speed of decision making. Need of high accuracy and dependability to detect the faulty
tower is increasingly gaining importance as the demand is increasing to achieve a near
100% uptime. A stand alone, portable, offline kit capable of finding fault accurately to the
tower (non system based, non stress affected), is required not only to accurately find
faults, but also to declare line healthy after a short duration of sustained transient fault
avoiding rigorous patrolling. A signature analysis study of the transmission line as an
extended feature, will help the operation and maintenance team enormously in
understanding their line better.

Description
The Max-3 EHF is a revolutionary innovative system
significantly minimizes the transmission line downtime and
overall line maintenance time. Max-3 EHF is the third
generation, one of its kind product that works on the principle of
multiple pulse echo co-relation technique, using advanced
matrix processors. A single system offers a cost effective
monitoring of all AC overhead de- energized lines from 66kV to
800kV, providing accurate information on all faults and line
signature analysis, which give data of all inhomogeneous points.

 Salient Features
Fault & line diagnostics - Fault information and distance to fault in direct reading digital data display in kms and a
comprehensive line signature Analysis and diagnosis.
Flexibility in utility and application - Portable system that can be used on any de-energised line from 66kv to
800kV AC lines.
Auto calibrated system - Requires no parameter input or presetting. Extremely simple operation.
Direct reading digital display - No interpretation required.
Fault resolution - +/- 100 meters through out the range of 1000 kilometers.
Line signature Analysis - Reveals all the inhomogeneties prevalent along the transmission line. Serial
comparison of this data enables the user to infer deteriorating points along the line which could be the cause of
power loss, frequent tripping and eventual line breakdown.
Zoom blanking - Unique capability to easily detect faults in spur lines and other applications with extended range
blanking facility.
Direct PC storage - No cumbersome interfacing modules to storage units, Review and print only selected frames
/ data.
Optimum safety - Engineered both in design and hardware with added safely mechanisms to ensure total safety
of the operating personal. Splash proof connector ensures firm interconnections between the system
constituents. Complete suppression of stray surges, lightning impact and induction voltages from parallel feeders.
EHT Line Simulator - For ascertaining the systems functional aspects. Also serves as an ideal training kit.
TADMA - TAURUS data management software for instantaneous LSA data management - Using TADMA, Line
Signature Analysis and its inhomogeneties are automatically tabulated and printed / stored. TADMA
instantaneously computes, documents, initiated its diagnostic s/w, classifies and interprets LSA line study.
Customized reference to each & every line including tower schedules (opt).
All weather system - Hardware performs efficiently without loss of accuracy between - 20C to 60C.
Portable off-line - System with in built re- chargeable batteries.
