VisNet^® Hub

Smarter LV network decisions start here

The VisNet^® Hub is an innovative, award-winning LV monitoring system, providing unrivalled network visibility to support a proactive network and fault management approach.

The cornerstone of our full-stack LV Network ecosystem

The Hub is the foundation of VisNet’s low voltage (LV) monitoring ecosystem. Installed in ground-mounted substations it is designed to give network operators immediate, scalable visibility of their LV networks to support operations, planning and asset management with data-driven decision making.

At its core, the VisNet Hub delivers robust, high-resolution monitoring straight out of the box. It captures essential electrical parameters including RMS voltage and current (per phase, including neutral), active, reactive and apparent power, total energy throughput, total harmonic distortion (THD), and configurable max/min voltage metrics. With time series data typically recorded at 10 or 30-minute intervals, the Hub provides a reliable baseline of network performance without the need for additional applications.

The Hub’s functionality enables operators to move from reactive, assumption-based planning to evidence-led decision making. With clear visibility of voltage profiles, load behaviour, and phase imbalance, engineers can quickly identify emerging issues such as voltage violations, thermal constraints, or poor power quality, often before they impact customers.

Harnessing the power of our Low Voltage Common Application Platform (LV-CAP®) operating system, the Hub transforms grid-edge data into actionable insights. This is achieved through an expanding suite of applications, all seamlessly shown via our intuitive VisNet Detect Pro interface.

These grid-edge insights allow Network Operators to deal with immediate operational issues such as faults and pre-faults and their location, it also allows the user to anticipate future planning requirements and provides key asset health information for reinforcement or replacement strategies.

The Hub has an array of input/output connectivity options, whether for voltage and current sensors or third-party interfaces, thus providing a capability and flexibility that is rarely seen in this type of monitoring system.

In addition, it supports the ALVIN Reclose2 auto recloser as a plug-and-play device to further enhance your network monitoring and visibility capabilities.

This ground-breaking LV monitoring device was awarded the King’s Award for Enterprise 2024 in the Innovation category

Whether deployed as a standalone monitoring solution or as the backbone of a fully integrated smart network, the VisNet Hub provides the visibility, flexibility, and intelligence required to operate modern LV networks with confidence.
