Fault Passage Indicator: CSFPI

FEATURES
  • Programmable Short circuit pickup level
  • Programmable Earth fault pickup level
  • Indication of permanent earth-faults by blinking of Earth-fault LED
  • Indication of a short-circuit by blinking of the Short-circuit LEDs
  • Programmable response delay for short-circuits and Earth-faults (individually)
  • Up-to Three potential free contacts to indicate earth-fault, short-circuits & low battery remote indication

CSFPI, Fault Passage Indicator is designed to detect and indicate Earth Fault and Short Circuit on a cable system in RMU networks with one input/open ring arrangement. The product is powered by the Internal Battery only. The unit will Indicate a fault condition when current is detected above set trip current settings. Fault current is sensed by cable mounted sensor, which gives signal to indication unit. Sensors must be mounted on screened cables and can be retrofitted on the cable.

C&S Electric CSFPI (Cable Short Circuit & Earth Fault Passage Indicator) devices offer significant benefits, primarily focused on reducing power outage time, simplifying maintenance, and enhancing the reliability of electrical distribution networks.

  • Identify the location of faults (short circuits and earth faults) in cable systems and RMU networks, drastically reducing the time required to restore power and improving the reliability and efficiency of the power supply.
  • The cable-mounted sensors are designed for easy installation and can be retrofitted.
  • Key settings, such as earth fault pickup current levels (depending on the model) and response delays, can be field-configured to suit specific network requirements.
  • The units offer various flexible reset methods, enhancing operational flexibility.
  • A functional test and a battery test can be performed on-site by pressing a push button for a specified duration, ensuring the device is operational and reliable.
  • The units are typically battery-powered, with a long lifespan, ensuring continuous monitoring without the need for an external auxiliary power supply.
