Kontinuum3D - additive technology of manufacturing electrical equipment


Kontinuum 3DTechnology – innovative manufacturing technology for production of electric power measurement equipment for various applications.

We are creating a new generation of manufacturing technology for the electric power equipment production, including voltage and current instrument transformers.

We suggest manufacturing power equipment using unified 3D printing technology. It invokes different types of conductive and insulating materials in the 3D printing process.

Existing technology requires complex and numerous equipment, rare materials (e.g. precious metals, which price is continuously rising), various specialists, expensive machine or hand labor. Our technology allows to create small and medium scale “on-demand” manufacturing. It does not require much capital investment and can easily be re-oriented for production of another equipment types. It can be used for on-site production to eliminate the transport costs. In general it is expected to reduce the prime cost for about 15-20%.

The technology provides rapid access to manufacturing of new line of products or customized products with special characteristics. A large field of applications for this technology is production of current and voltage instrument transformers .

We are working on the improvement of technology, materials, new structures and fields of application. We have investigated the available third-party technology, identified its limitations and capabilities, and protected our intellectual property. Our main focus are the solutions for manufacturing of the instrument transformers. We have fully formed the project team which can successfully finalize and carry out the project up to commercialization stage.

IEC 61850 SV Sample Rate: 100 kHz

Easy deployment and system scaling
Complex can be easily mounted in any place of measurement. Multiple digital data streams can be handled using Ethernet switches.

Guaranteed insulation
Optical ethernet link ensures reliable galvanic separation of complex from the data receiver.

Precise synchronization
Optical 1PPS synchronization channel or PTP IEEE 1588 Ethernet synchronization provides sample timing accuracy up to ±1 μs (UTC)

Different rated voltages available
Low voltage measurement and communication block can be paired with a wide range of high voltage dividers with the rated voltages from 2kV to 100 kV
