 FI Series Fault Indicator

FI Series Fault Indicator

General
FI Series Fault Indicator are used to locate the fault in distribution systems by indicating the path
of fault current, help the crews trace the path of fault current and locate the fault more efficiently,
greatly reduce the time and cost of fault location, and enhance the reliability of power supply.

Principle
Recognize the characters of short-circuit current:
the current increment I caused by short-circuit fault.
The line voltage and current drop to zero because of short-circuit.
Meeting all the above 2 conditions at the same time is the criterion of action indication.
