Real-world deployment

Installed where
it matters most.

TENA mounts directly inside the home's distribution board — sitting on the same rail as the breakers already protecting the property.

Power Quality Intelligence

Objective data for
electrical claims
in South Africa.

TENA is a cloud-connected platform for monitoring, validating and responding to power-quality events in real time — giving insurers, brokers and C&I clients the electrical event record they have never had.

What is TENA?

Infrastructure-grade power quality intelligence.

TENA continuously records voltage, current, frequency, earth impedance, and surge protection device health — uploading timestamped data to a secure server in real time. Deployed across homes and commercial buildings in South Africa, TENA gives insurers and C&I clients objective evidence when grid events matter most.

  • Real-time 3-phase monitoring across distributed sites
  • Timestamped incident evidence for claims validation
  • Earth impedance and SPD state-of-health monitoring
  • Active protection response and future EMS / SCADA expansion

Inside the device

The housing clears.
Then the board comes apart.

Keep scrolling — the enclosure dismantles and lifts away first, leaving the bare board on its own. Then its modules separate to reveal the sensing, protection and connectivity hardware working inside every deployment.

Pilot data

What live deployments have revealed.

Four incidents from 15+ active sites. Not projections — real data.

C/01
Residential

Earth Impedance & SPD State of Health

Degraded earth impedance detected despite a valid CoC — SPD failure flagged before it occurred. Client remediated proactively, without a claim.

SPD OK
C/02
Grid event

Generator Masking a Grid Event

During municipal powerline work, voltage dropped to 194V and frequency rose to 52.8Hz — a generator signature that would have appeared as a pure grid fault without the data.

Voltage: 230.0V · Freq: 50.00Hz
C/03
Imbalance

Structural Phase Imbalance

L2 carrying 48% of total load against a 33% balanced norm — structural, not transient.

Network

Five Devices, One Event

Five TENA devices across Kloof recorded the same voltage sag simultaneously — confirmed eThekwini network fault. One event record covers five sites.

Pilot network

15+ sites across KZN and Gauteng.

TENA devices create a distributed view of grid-related power-quality events — distinguishing site-specific faults from wider feeder or municipal grid events.
