Metrix 1.0
The Motwane Automated Van System (Metrix 1.0) is a cutting-edge mobile lab designed for locating and testing underground cable faults in power distribution networks. This all-in-one solution dramatically cuts down on fault detection time, prioritizes operator safety, and delivers precise pre-location and pinpointing of faults in low, medium, high, and extra-high voltage cables.

Diagnosis of faults, Route tracing, DC/Burn/Proof test, Pre-location, Pin-point, and Cable Identification

Pre-location methods:
TDR, ICM, ARM,
IMT & Decay

Cable test/proof test using
DC voltage
up to 80kV

High surge energy of
up to 4000 joules

4, 6, 8, 16 and
32 kV Max output

Cable route tracing system
more than 15 kms distance
