Lindsey MV Voltage Sensors Now Offer 0.5% Accuracy
PRESS RELEASE
Increase from 1% Accuracy Ideal for Volt/VAR Optimization Projects
January 31, 2017, Azusa, CA – Lindsey Manufacturing Company announces its line of overhead and underground voltage sensors have been upgraded to 0.5% accuracy. This is an improvement from the 1% voltage accuracy standard to the products since their introduction over twenty years ago. For overhead applications, sensors are offered as both stand-alone voltage sensors, and combined voltage and current sensors.
“Volt-var optimization and conservation voltage reduction programs, often referred to as VVO and CVR, improve grid efficiency, reduce demand, and can play a role in self-healing grids,” says Dr. Keith Lindsey of Lindsey Manufacturing. “By improving our voltage sensor accuracy to 0.5%, Lindsey gives utilities even better visibility into grid operations and the ability to maximize the benefits from their VVO/CVR investments.”
A mainstay with utilities for twenty years, Lindsey sensors provide exceptionally reliable and highly accurate voltage and current monitoring for substation, overhead, pad-mount and submersible underground distribution applications. With a variety of sensors providing zero phase shift, wide frequency response and superb harmonic performance, Lindsey sensors have been widely deployed for Volt/VAR control, monitoring, and other distribution automation applications.
