High Voltage Power Feed Equipment (PFE)

Spellman High Voltage Electronics, the leading independent supplier of Power Feed Equipment to the Telecom industry, has developed a new generation of High Voltage Power Feed Equipment, (PFE-HV). This PFE-HV is targeted at the emerging requirements for longer submarine cable installations, while addressing underlying issues such as lower cost, smaller foot print, and easier operation.

Key features:

  • Redundancy is provided for the converters (n+1)
  • Simplified sliding drawers for PFE open, grounding, test modes
  • Redundancy is provided for the LCU. In case of failure of LCU, the PFE will continue to operate normally
  • LCU contains pull-out 17˝ LCD screen, keyboard, mouse pad and CPU
  • Simplified keylock scheme ensures safety of operating personnel
  • Highly visible Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) on the output module (OMU) and each converter displays voltage, current and modes of operation
  • Unique protective “trap door” barrier allows a converter to be replaced safely while the PFE is still powering the cable
