from Cooper Power Systems for S.T.A.R.™ Faulted Circuit Indicators (Delayed Reset Type)
The S.T.A.R. Delayed Reset faulted circuit indicator automatically resets back to the normal position when the reset time has expired. The unit is available in factory preset delay times of 1, 2, 4, or 6 hours. The DR FCI is constructed using tough, durable, corrosion-proof, submersible materials.
Cooper Power Systems S.T.A.R.™Delayed Reset (DR) faulted circuit indicators are designed to quickly and easily locate faulted sections of cable systems. These faulted circuit indicators (FCI) can be installed on padmounted distribution transformers,sector cabinets, switchgear and overhead bare conductors. A long-life Lithium Ion battery provides power to indicate the faulted conditions using a high intensity LED display. The unit automatically resets back to the normal position when reset time has expired. The unit can also be reset using the optional manual testing/reset tool. DR FCIs provide a reliable means of fault location and isolation. They also eliminate fault chasing methods that are costly and time consuming, and very stressful on system components exposed to fault currents. The DR FCI is ideally suited for temporary use as a testing tool. The delayed reset also allows the unit to be used to detect general fault location in applications where an intermittent fault causes recloser operation, but power is restored before the unit is interrogated.
The manual testing/reset tool can be ordered using catalog number SMRT.
