Overhead line fault indicator location solution

Release time:2019-08-15 16:46:11

　　The Fault Indicator is usually used on overhead line of medium voltage (5~38KV, can be customized to 44KV, 69KV and 110KV) distribution networks. Short-circuit fault and single-phase earth fault can be detected and indicated by mechanical red flag or three ultra-bright blinking LEDs, which can be seen from 360º sight. The fault information and load current value can also be transmitted to the SCADA system.

　　A mounting point usually have one Data Concentrator Unit (DCU) and three fault indicators (phase A, B, and C). The Fault Indicator will monitor line status and communicates with DCU through 433MHz module, DCU will transmit data to SCADA system by GPRS/3G/4G. When there is fault on the line, SCADA will send out alarm and locate the fault position, which can help maintenance personnel to solve problems efficiently.

　　a) Transient/Permanent short-circuit and Earth Fault detection

Fault Location System (SCADA)

　　　　
        DCU will upload information to Fault Location System, when there is fault on the line, it will send out alarm and locate the fault position. In addition, Fault Location System is able to have remote control and upgrading of indicator and DCU.
