Land-based Power Feed Equipment

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

Key features:

  • Redundancy is provided for the converters (1+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, trackball and CPU
  • Simplified keylock scheme ensures safety of operating personnel
  • Highly visible Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) on each Converter displays voltage, current and modes of operation
  • Unique protective “trap door” barrier allows a convert­er or test load to be replaced safely while the PFE is still powering the cable
