Auxiliary contacts can be added to the standard unit and would provide an additional data collection point when used on circuits connected to a SCADA system. The magnetic latchingcircuit that operates the auxiliary contact ensures a reliable indication.
The Cooper Power Systems remoteFISHEYE display provides 180°visual indication of FCI operation. This unique orange reflective target fits a standard remote indicator window that exists in many padmount transformer specifications.
The Cooper Power Systems’ TPR FCI is also available with a small remote flip-target display. This display can be easily retrofitted for padmount cabinets with a single hole installation.Refer to S320-40-1 for installation details.
The Cooper Power Systems remote fiber optic display provides remote visual indication of the FCI operation. This display can be mounted in transformer and sector cabinets with a single hole installation. The remote fiber optic cable can be ordered using catalog number SFOC.
Auxiliary Contacts can be added to the standard unit and provide an additional data collection point when used on circuits connected to a SCADA system. The magnetic latching circuit that operates the auxiliary contact ensures a reliable indication.
Cooper Power Systems S.T.A.R.™PATHFINDER™ Variable Trip Test Point faulted circuit indicators (FCI) are designed to quickly and easily locate faulted sections of underground cable systems. These FCIs can be used on both 200 A separable connectors and 600 A terminators with a voltage test point. The removable sleeve allows for use on major manufacturers’ loadbreak elbows.
The PATHFINDER Variable Trip Test Point FCI features a trip design that senses normal load current and indicates a fault when a significant rise in current, followed by a loss of voltage,is detected. Hence, there is no need to specify a particular trip rating when ordering the Variable Trip Test Point FCI. This design ensures fast, reliable and accurate operation.
A long-life Lithium Ion battery provides power to indicate the faulted conditions using a high intensity light-emitting diode (LED) display. The unit will flash for a period of four hours after a fault has occurred. After the four hour period, the LED will stop flashing to conserve battery power; however, the unit retains a record of the fault event,and can be interrogated after the four hour period, using the manual testing/reset tool. The unit retains the memory of the fault event until reset manually,or until normal system power is restored.
Variable Trip FCIs provide a reliable means of fault location and isolation.They also eliminate fault chasing methods that are costly and time consuming, and stressful on systemcomponents exposed to fault currents.
Auxiliary contacts can be added to the standard unit and provide an additional data collection point when used on circuits connected to a SCADA system. The magnetic latching circuit that operates the auxiliary contact ensures reliable indication.
The standard S.T.A.R. Low Voltage Reset FCI requires a 120 VAC secondary power source. The S.T.A.R. LVR with Universal Power Supply option can be powered with any secondary voltage source (120,208 or 277 VAC).
Key Features
Features and Benefits
Quickly and efficiently find faults on underground systems.
Reduce maintenance and operating costs by reducing fault-finding time. Remote displays eliminate the need to open the enclosure to check the fault indicator’s status.
Improve viewing with a highly visible, reflective red target, or a combination target and BEACON® LED display. The combination display’s target portion will continue to indicate faults even after the end of the battery’s life.
1TPRB fault indicators come with internal adapter rings that accommodate most anufacturers’ elbow test points.
1TPRI fault indicators come with an internal adapter ring that accommodates most manufacturers’ elbow test points.
1TPRV fault indicators come with internal adapter rings that accommodate most manufacturers’ elbow test points.
