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.
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.
The manual testing/reset tool can be ordered using catalog number SMRT.
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 Variable Trip 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.Auxiliary Contacts
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.
PATHFINDER™ Variable Trip Current Reset (CR) faulted circuit indicators are designed to quickly and easily locate faulted sections of cable systems. These faulted circuit indicators (FCI)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 2.0 A minimum reset value. CR FCIs provide a reliable means of fault location and isolation.
The PATHFINDER Variable Trip Current Reset 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 current,is detected. Hence, there is no need to specify a particular trip rating when ordering the Variable Trip Current Reset FCI. This design ensures fast,reliable and accurate operation. Variable Trip Current Reset 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 system components exposed to faultcurrents.
