The NEC standardized fault-managed power systems in their 2023 edition. These DC power distribution systems can provide up to 450V DC safely, and don't require mechanical protection or breakers. Fault-managed power systems, like Cence HV, also provide suitable protection from fire and shock hazards and make use of light cable gauges.
High-voltage power distribution enables more efficient, further power distribution over thinner cables, and reduces voltage drop.
Fault-management provides suitable protection from electrical hazards without the need for mechanical protection or breakers.
Cence HV intelligently stops power if a fault is detected, and is a plug-and-play system, making it safe and easy to install and maintain.
Anatomy of the Cence Fault-Managed Power System
Cables in low voltage, high power, applications (such as traditional telecom rectifiers) require larger cable gauges to support the current needed.
Cables in fault-managed systems have a gauge that is about 10x smaller and carry the same amount of power.
Why higher voltages reduce cable gauge size
Discover a new era of intelligent power management with Digital Current™, supplied by our fault-managed power system: Cence HV.
Designed to ensure safety, Cence HV shuts power off over 1000x faster than other fault-managed power systems on the market if a fault is detected. This allows it to be high-voltage (up to 450V DC), and safe for telecom technicians to install and maintain.
Our smart controls add another layer of intelligence to our fault-managed power system. Simply plug in Cence HV, and tap into the Cence App, to monitor, control, automate and optimize power delivery to telecom equipment.
Experience the convenience of preventative maintenance, and intuitive control over telecom infrastructure with integrated digital twin software. Cence HV enables you to embrace the future of power management.
Onboard computers in the Cence fault-managed telecom power system continuously monitor cables for faults, such as human touch, and stop power immediately if one is detected. This enables Cence HV to distribute up to 450V DC of power to telecom applications safely, so telecom technicians can work on systems without the fear of electrical shock or fire.

A hybrid cable incorporates optical fibers (for data transmission) and copper wires (for power transmission) within the same jacket. They are a distribution medium for both fault-managed power (like Digital Current™) and 5G. Hybrid cables enable long-distance power supply while ensuring high-speed data transmission.
