[![Explore the MICATU Platform](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/8510281/823f3371-4f1d-418c-94fc-8a8c668e94e2.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/8510281/823f3371-4f1d-418c-94fc-8a8c668e94e2) [![](https://www.micatu.com/hubfs/icon-linkedin.png)](https://www.linkedin.com/company/micatu/) # MICATU Overhead Sensors The Overhead Advanced Sensors capture everything you need: current and voltage, temperature, current harmonics and voltage harmonics, more accurately and precisely than any traditional solution. That’s in addition to being completely modular, hot-stick deployable, and safely isolated from the current. Platformed with the certus*EDGE* Edge Processing Unit (EPU) or the m410B Advanced Signal Processor for real-time delivery, the MICATU Advanced Sensors deliver a wider range of metrics to power your every analytics need, safely and easily. #### Safe The MICATU Advanced Sensors present no violent failure or electrocution risks, because the optical technology works outside the line current and is electrically isolated. #### Accurate MICATU Advanced Sensors maintain +/- 0.5% accuracy across the entire measurement range, regardless of applied voltage or current, and in all typical environmental conditions: from -30° C (-22° F) to 70°C (158° F). #### Advanced The injection-molded HCEP housing is lightweight, durable, and keeps the entire sensor free of conductive materials. The all-optical design keeps the sensor isolated from the current, ensuring high reliability and long life. #### Easy Install A typical three-phase system can be completed in about 3 hours. Each MICATU Advanced Sensor is attached to the conductor cable on a swing link mounting system via shotgun stick. Fiber optic cables connect the sensors to the certusEDGE Edge Processing Unit (EPU) or the m410B Advanced Signal Processor. ## Our Products The MICATU Medium Voltage & Current Sensor System utilizes a 100% “all-optical” measurement platform for unparalleled accuracy and precision of both voltage and current across multiple voltage classes. Installation time for a typical three-phase system is less than three hours, resulting in significant deployment savings. All signals from the sensor are connected via optical fiber connections to a “plug & play” modular optical sensor platform m410 Modular Advanced Sensor Platform that is fully ruggedized and scalable. ![RP225-(2)](https://www.micatu.com/hubfs/RP225-(2).png) Linepost Sensor ## OLP225 - **Voltage: **4kV to 27kV - **Nominal Current:** 10A to 3000A - **Weight:** 16.8 kg (37 lbs.)
