Fault Passage Indicators

Up to 70 KV

Overview

For long overhead lines with too many branches, un-patrolable areas and limited load, it becomes commercially unviable to install expensive solutions to detect faulty branches.

Sharika’s SmartOn™ FPI is the right solution for 6 to 70 KV networks with multiple options of control. Gives the flashing visual indication, as soon as the feeder trips. The communicable versions can also communicate the alarms and status to remote control stations, accessible through browser or smart phones.

With strong and efficient mechanical construction with comprehensive suite of automation levels, SmartOn™ FPIs can fit every budget.

Technical collaboration with S. Korea and matchless build quality with ease of operation & maintenance, FPIs can effectively bring down SAIFI & SAIDI by reducing patrol time, giving satisfied consumers and recover unserved revenue.

RTU & Communication

  • Very compact and powerful RTU that communicates with FPIs over short range radios and transmits data to control centre
  • Choice of multiple frequencies, depending on country. With -105 dbm sensitivity, can offer a range of at least 200m.
  • Can communicate with upto 9 FPIs from single RTU.
  • Built in Aux supply with battery back-up
  • Powerful 4G router (with dual SIM option) ib built security using VPN, SSH Tunneling and AES3 Encryption
  • Provides priceless network and load information on each branch for detailed analysis.

Installation & Maintenance Expertise

  • Comprehensive range of three phase vacuum reclosers with mechanically ganged operations. Suitable for overhead distribution lines up to 38kV.
  • Compliance to IEC62271 - 111 / IEEE C37.60
  • SmartOn circuit reclosers can drastically reduce the SAIDI/SAIFI on overhead networks with impressive ROI. Reduces the downtime due to temporary faults by 90%.
  • With effective deployment in coordination with Sharika’s range of Smart LBS, Smart FIDs and FPIs, the solution can help manage complex meshed networks, where protection coordination on secondary networks is otherwise impossible.
  • Comprehensive protection and control elements help customers substantially improve network and substation performance.
  • With technical collaboration with S. Korea, Sharika presents customizable switchgear options to suit different applications and budgets.
  • Choose between motorized or magnetic actuators, 12.5kA to 25kA interruption capabilities, and from simple current-based protections to advanced protection modules.
  • For large remote deployments, Sharika offers industry-first advanced lithium batteries with built-in BMS.
  • Sharika is likely the only OEM offering custom-built MV switchgear to meet evolving customer needs.
