Shipborne Power Feed Equipment (PFE)
Spellman High Voltage is the leading independent supplier of Power Feed Equipment to the Telecom industry and most frequently utilized power supplies for shipborne uses. Our Power Feed Equipment (PFE-SB) has been optimized for shipborne use to provide continuous power to a line whilst being laid and is known for its reliability and quality. It is used with repeatered fiber optic cable systems for telecommunications and has been installed on numerouscable laying ships around the world.
It provides all of the features to allow safe, reliable operation with configuration functions to suit all cable installation requirements. The PFE system is designed to provide a well-regulated, low ripple, high voltage supply at varying current requirements.
An advanced digital management system provides output configuration, control, polarity setting, continuous monitoring and alarm reporting from the Main Control Unit (MCU), or the System Management Terminal (SMT).
The Electronic Test Load is an active solid-state design allowing the load to be dynamically varied using a manual front panel control.
The system is powered directly from 3-phase supply without the need for autotransformers.
