Manufacturer's CommentCooper Power Systems S.T.A.R.™ Current Reset (CR) Faulted Circuit Indicators are designed to quickly and easily locate faulted sections of cable systems. These faulted circuit indicators (FCIs) can be installed on pad-mounted distribution transformers, sector cabinets, switchgear and overhead bare conductors. The closed core current transformer (CT) senses the fault current and provides power to operate the FCI. The unit automatically resets back to the normal position when the continuous current exceeds the 2.4 A reset value. CR 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. Installation can be achieved on a wide range of cable diameters with a single hotstick.
Operating Temperature -40°C to +85°C
Trip Current LevelFactory Preset (High or Low)
Trip Accuracy±10%
Fault Withstand25 kA for 10 Cycles per ANSI/IEEE 495-1986
OptionsRemote FISHEYE™ Display

The Cooper Power Systems Remote FISHEYE Display provides 180°visual indication of FCI operation. This unique orange reflective target fits a standard remote indicator window that exists in many pad-mounted transformer specifications.

Small Remote Display

The Current Reset Faulted Circuit Indicator is also available with a small remote display. The remote flip target display easily retrofits to pad-mounted cabinets with a single hole installation.

conductor diameter range 0.25 inches (6.4 mm) to 1.0 inches (25 mm)

Description
S.T.A.R. Current Reset Fault Indicators consist of a sensor unit with an integral FISHEYE™ Target Display. The closed core CT is used for both sensing the fault current and providing power to operate the FCI.The FISHEYE Display provides 180°visual indication. This unique orange reflective target designates a faulted condition and a black target designates a normal condition. The FISHEYE Display also features a Lexan® cover that provides superior scratch protection for the target window. The sensor unit itself features a clamping mechanism and unique spring action CT design that allows easy snap-on connection to the live conductor with the use of a single shotgun stick.

An inrush restraint feature eliminates false tripping and is standard on all units. The S.T.A.R. Faulted Circuit Indicator will ignore inrush currents caused by reclosing operations of protective devices on the system. A dead time of 200 ms will activate the inrush restraint feature.

A low pass filter, also a standard feature, will prevent the S.T.A.R. Faulted Circuit Indicator from tripping on high frequency transients like those caused by capacitivedischarges.

The quick response time of the S.T.A.R. Current Reset Faulted Circuit Indicator provides easy coordination with current-limiting fuses and other protection devices. This unique combination of standard features makes the S.T.A.R. Faulted Circuit Indicator extremely reliable.
