In 2020 the Israeli Electric Company announced a tender for the supply of a solution for fault recording and calculation of Distance to Fault. The solution was also to include a Phasor Measurement Unit as per IEEE C37.118
In 2021, SATEC was awarded this tender in accordance with its offer for the PM180 analyzer with FDR and PMU modules. SATEC will deliver to IEC 700 PM180 units over the close few years.
Following the offer, SATEC’s solution was admitted for rigorous POC testing, which
entailed several months and countless sessions, demonstrating fault recording and analysis.
Running up as one of the 3 most advanced solutions, SATEC’s offer was finally announced
during February 2021 as the offer to have won the bid, presenting not only cutting-edge
technology but also offering it at extremely competitive terms.
SATEC won this tender by presenting a competitive offer for advanced technology.

The SATEC Offer
The PM180 Power Analyzer was offered
with the following functional modules/
configuration:
Fault recording current inputs:
recording waveforms up to 40×In
Digital I/O module: external trigger
waveform recording
IEC61850 ed.2 support includes Goose
Messages
Phasor Measurement Unit module,
designed to meet IEEE C37.118
Alongside the PM180 analyzer, SATEC
offered Expertpower software suite for
the needed analysis and HMI for the
system.
Distance to Fault
The PM180 is an advanced analyzer,
featuring a fault locating functionality for
overhead power lines, using impedance
based calculations. This allows utilities
to pinpoint the fault location and direct
maintenance teams to the site in an
extremely accurate manner, considerably
saving resources and mitigating downtime.
