Smart Fault Isolation Device

Smart Fault Isolation Device automatically detects and isolates electrical faults to enhance grid reliability and safety.

Home / Smart Fault Isolation Device

Overview

Sharika’s SmartOn™ SFID (Smart Fault Isolating Device) System is useful to minimise SAIDI, SAIFI for quick identification & isolation of faulty section on Distribution lines.

It is the intelligent system that helps utilities to manage the power distribution network efficiently. It can detect and isolate Transient, Permanent Phase & Ground Faults.The system can report FID operation to the user’s existing SCADA using industry protocols.

Long over headlines with too many branches and limited load, it becomes commercially unviable to install expensive solutions.
Technical collaboration with S. Korea, Sharika presents the unique IoT solution, well integrated with Dnet™ Cloud platform or any 3rd party SCADA/DMS.

Installation & Maintenance Expertise

When a transient, or permanent fault occurs, which exceeds the set fault current in Smart FID, special automatic trigger algorithm Permanent Fault and as the upstream Recloser trips, the circuit line current falls to Zero. The logic circuit recognizes Dead Line that follows fault current and commands 1 or all 3 phases to open simultaneously.

The message is sent via SMS or to SCADA / Cloud. After SFID opens, the upstream Recloser, or Circuit Breaker shall close successfully on the next trial.

  • Easy installation with supplied brackets.
