Gridphase Phase Identification System – Reference & Handheld Unit
The GridPhase Phase Identification System from DEWESoft is a cutting-edge, GPS-synchronised solution designed for utilities, DNSPs, and power distribution technicians needing fast and accurate phase identification across complex high, medium and low-voltage networks.
The system consists of:
- A GridPhase Reference Device installed at a central point (e.g. substation or HV busbar)
- A compact GridPhase Handheld Unit for use in the field
Together, they deliver network-wide phase identification, even across sub-stations, transformers and large distances — making the GridPhase system essential for maintaining network balance, reducing neutral current, and ensuring correct phase connection during installations and maintenance.
✅ Key Features
- GPS-Synchronised Phase Measurement
- Ensures accurate time-aligned voltage angle comparison between the reference and the handheld unit
- Large Coverage Area
- One reference can support handheld units across hundreds of kilometres
- Patented Transformer Phase Shift Compensation
- Automatically adjusts for phase angle shifts caused by transformers, eliminating the need for manual correction
- Compact and Field-Ready Handheld Unit
- Bluetooth-enabled, with measurements displayed on a mobile app
- Contactless Measurement Capability
- Integrated capacitive sensor for safe operation on live conductors
- Mobile App Interface
- Shows live phase angles and calculated phase labels (A/B/C)
🌐 GridPhase Web – Centralised Phase Tracking Across the Grid
The GridPhase Web software allows utilities to:
- Integrate a simplified network model to automate voltage angle shift compensation from transformers
- Save and pair measurements at different times and locations
- Maintain a consistent phase reference frame across the entire network
- Enable remote validation and tracking of phase data across field teams
This powerful cloud-based interface ensures ongoing accuracy and data consistency in wide-area distribution systems, enhancing network reliability and decision-making.
🛠 How It Works
- Install the GridPhase Reference Device at a known high-voltage point.
- Connect the handheld unit in the field and sync via GPS.
- Assign a phase (e.g., Phase A) at the reference location.
- Measure voltages at field locations — the system compares angles and identifies the phase in real time.
- Optionally store and sync data via Gridphase Web for full network visibility.
The Gridphase Reference Device measures voltage and phase angle at the central node and transmits this GPS-synchronised reference across the network. This allows all handheld units in the field to compare their local measurements accurately, even across transformer vector groups and large geographical areas.
