2.OVERVIEW
Figure 1 VIEW of the M.PAD system
mPAD is developed, designed manufactured by the MADE S.A.
company
Its main functions are:
The identification of the phase and feeder at any point in the
LV network, live and under load, downstream of a distribution
Substation.

OVERVIEW
8 / 29
The verification of the complete electrical network layout
supplied by a distribution substation live and under load.
The complete system is housed in a robust transport case.
MPAD consists of a transmitter, left in place once turned on, and a
receiver which is connected to the network at the points at which the
phase and feeder are to be identified.
2.1.Operating principle
The receiver forms a very specific load which draws a current, which in
turn is detected by the transmitter. The transmitter responds by
transmitting over the network the numbers of the feeder and phase to
which the receiver is connected. Each component has two very
specific and complementary functions which it is useful to understand
so as to follow the system’s operation:
The transmitter detects a current (from the receiver) and
transmits to the receiver a signal coded with the information on
the phase and feeder.
The receiver generates a current (detected by the transmitter),
and subsequently decodes the signal transmitted by the
transmitter so as to display the information to the operator.

2.3.Brief description of setting up the system
The conditions for access and connection are governed by the rules established by the
Network Operator.
2.3.1.Placing the transmitter
Connect the neutral and the three phases to one of the feeders
from the distribution substation.
Close one of the MadeFlex Rogowski coils around all three phases
of each feeder, taking care NOT to include the NEUTRAL, and
ensuring that all the coils are in the same directional sense. For this
