Description
The DCI3 is the next generation in cable and phase identification, combining both functions in a single, rugged device that delivers precise results in demanding environments. Replacing Megger’s legacy Phase Identification Line (PIL 8) and complementing the Cable Identifier (CI-LCI) range, the DCI3 streamlines workflows, reduces training requirements, and improves safety across utilities, renewable generation, rail, and industrial networks.
The DCI3’s three-phase cable identification mode can save up to an hour per job, while always-grounded phase identification ensures maximum safety for operators. With a range of up to 30 km and flexible clamp options, the DCI3 adapts to the realities of fieldwork – from confined cabinets to large cable cross-sections. Its IP54-rated enclosure provides durability for use in dusty switchyards, light rain, and the everyday wear and tear of outdoor fieldwork.
Key advantages include:
Dual-function design – Combines cable identification (CI) and phase identification (PI) in one device.
Time savings –Three-phase CI mode reduces job times by up to an hour.
Safety by design – Always-grounded PI to prevent near-misses and keep crews protected.
Extended range – Cable and phase identification up to 30 km, with signal filtering to ensure reliable results in environments with electrical noise.
Flexible clamps – Flexible clamp solutions for confined spaces and large cable cross-sections.
Rugged durability – IP54-rated for dust protection and resistance to water splashes and rain in everyday field conditions.
From high-voltage substations to renewable energy sites, the DCI3 delivers speed, safety, and certainty in a single, portable solution – helping teams work smarter and safer.
Frequently Asked Questions
How far can the DCI3 identify cables and phases?
The DCI3 provides accurate results up to 30 km, even in noisy conditions or complex networks.
Does the DCI3 replace older models?
The DCI3 replaces Megger’s legacy Phase Identification Line (PIL 8) and complements the Cable Identifier (CI-LCI) range. By combining cable and phase identification in one device, it reduces the need for multiple tools while fitting seamlessly into existing workflows.
Is the DCI3 suitable for renewable energy installations?
Absolutely – the DCI3 is ideal for wind farms, solar plants, and other renewable energy sites, thanks to its extended range and adaptability.
Can the DCI3 be used outdoors?
Yes – the DCI3 is IP54-rated, providing protection against dust and resistance to water splashes and rain, making it suitable for everyday outdoor field use.
