Fault Passage Indicator (FPI)

Reliable Fault Detection for Faster Maintenance Enhance power network reliability with accurate fault indication and quick restoration support.

Overview

The Fault Passage Indicator (FPI) is designed to detect and indicate phase and earth faults in medium-voltage cable networks. By providing early fault detection and clear visual indications, it helps reduce downtime, improve maintenance response, and ensure reliable operation of power distribution systems.
Equipped with programmable response times, multiple LED indications, and flexible reset options, the FPI is an indispensable tool for modern electrical networks.

Key Features

Programmable Response Time:
Adjustable delay settings for short-circuit and earth-fault detection.
Multi-LED Indication:
Dedicated LEDs for each phase fault, earth fault, and battery status.
Flexible Reset Options:
Manual reset (via front panel), remote reset (potential-free input), or automatic reset (time-based).
Self-Test Function:
Press the test button for 5 seconds to verify LED health.
Relay Output Integration:
Separate relay outputs for short-circuit and earth-fault indication.
Compact Design:
96 mm x 48 mm front panel size for easy integration into switchgear and panels.
