DCI3: Cable and phase identification made faster and safer

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.
