What PowerView does

PowerView, operating as Power View Corporation, is a privately held Canadian company headquartered in Vancouver, BC, that designs and manufactures high-voltage testing and monitoring equipment for power infrastructure assets. Its product portfolio spans more than fifty specialized monitoring solutions covering transformers, circuit breakers and GIS, hydro and turbo generators, small and large HV motors, substation battery banks, power cables, overhead lines, surge arresters, disconnecting switches, and instrument transformers. Core technologies include HFCT and UHF partial discharge sensors, FBG fiber-optic temperature sensors, electrochemical dissolved gas analysis (DGA) probes, vibration accelerometers, and Rogowski coils, all integrated via the company's proprietary Substation Digital cloud platform, which supports over 20,000 device types and delivers fleet dashboards, risk assessment, and alarms through iOS and Android applications. Differentiated offerings include the industry-first Remote Cable Fault Location technology (developed with FEIT), the AI-based Motor Learning System (MLS) for electrical signature analysis, and the ITS immersed-tank DGA sensor with a 15-year maintenance-free service life.

PowerView generates revenue across four streams: hardware sales of monitoring sensors and systems, recurring subscription access to the Substation Digital cloud platform (annual billing), professional services including laboratory testing, consulting, and training academies in Vancouver and Budva, and managed remote cable fault location services. The go-to-market combines enterprise field sales driven through website service request forms, qualified third-party distributors with global reach, and the in-person training centers that double as demand-generation channels. Primary customer segments are electric utilities (transmission, distribution, and substation operators) and power generation facilities including hydro, thermal, and wind plants, with secondary exposure to industrial operators of large HV motors and substation battery systems. Compliance positioning against NERC PRC-005, IEC 61850, IEC 60099-5, and CIGRÉ TB783 supports procurement by regulated North American and European customers.
