Description
Smart Grid Solutions specializes in providing high quality, smart grid technologies and products to the marketplace that improve the electrical distribution infrastructure. Their perspective comes from years of experience in the electrical distribution sector. The feature product is the E-Scout FI-3A fault indicator. E-Scout FI-3A fault indicators serve as a beacon to help linemen locate faults thereby reducing outage time and man-hours for users.
Smart Grid Solutions is proud to introduce the E-Scout FI-3A and FI-3C fault indicators. Fault indicators are becoming more of a standard in advanced electric distribution networks. These system upgrades will help utilities increase their revenue by improving their distribution networks’ reliability, improving customer satisfaction, and reducing maintenance man-hours. Utilities will be able to track these benefits through increased scores on industry reliability indicators such as SAIFI, SAIDI, CAIDI, and MAIFI.
Both the E-Scout FI-3A and the E-Scout FI-3C fault indicators come with a robust design and allow for easy installation. They are IEEE-495 compliant and ISO-9001 certified.
Smart Grid Solutions E-Scout FI-3A:
Smart-Detect Fault Circuit Indicator — The E-Scout FI-3A is a fault indicator used on overhead systems. Fault indicators are becoming more of a standard in advanced electric distribution networks because they help reduce outage time, improve system reliability, and reduce maintenance man-hours.
Principles of Operation
1. A fault triggers a group of indicators to start flashing along the feeder line.
2. The lineman simply follows the path of flashing fault indicators all the way to the first un-flashed fault indicator, thereby identifying the fault location.
The E-Scout FI-3A features robust design, customer-specified reset time, and 360-degree visibility. The E-Scout FI-3A is easily installed with a hot-stick and is IEEE-495 compliant and ISO-9001 certified.
Smart Grid Solutions E-Scout FI-3C:
Underground Fault Circuit Indicator — The E-Scout FI-3C is a fault indicator used on underground systems. Fault indicators are becoming more of a standard in advanced electric distribution networks because they help reduce outage time, improve system reliability, and reduce maintenance man-hours.
Principles of Operation
1. A fault triggers a group of indicators to start flashing along the feeder line.
2. The lineman simply follows the path of flashing fault indicators all the way to the first un-flashed fault indicator, thereby identifying the fault location.
The E-Scout FI-3C features robust design, customer-specified reset time, and 360-degree visibility. The E-Scout FI-3C is easily installed with a hot-stick and is IEEE-495 compliant and ISO-9001 certified.
