2.Features

 

  

Self-sustain	Short-circuit fault detection
The indicator is made with new material and special circuit designed. When the wire load current is greater than 3A, it begins to get the power from the wire. When the wire load current is greater than 30A, it can work normally without the lithium battery totally.	We use quick break over-current two-stage current or adaptive load current flow mutation current protection principle, and line running status detection, it can effectively inhibit the closing and reclosing inrush current and feedback to send electrical misoperation (the parameters can be set on-line so that the detection can be more sensitive and reliable).
Ground fault detection	Indication
It can monitor the mutational increment of the grounding current(the parameters can be set on-line so that the detection can be more sensitive and reliable).	The indication is done by three flashing LEDs for a clear visibility and three red display areas work by motor for a clear daytime visibility. Single-flashing means ground fault indication; double-flashing means short-circuit fault indication.
Reset mode	Current and voltage measurement
1,1~48h timing reset(can be set on-line, default 24h) 2,Intelligent reset(auto-reset after finish the emergency repair and restoring power transmission)or local/remote control reset via wireless.	Real-time monitoring of line load current, wire-to-ground voltage induction, instead of using current transformers and live displays.
Live mounted and removal	Antirust design
The indicator can be mounted under live conditions with the help of an adapter and a hot stick.	The tension discs are made of high quality nylon material. The groove springs are made of stainless steel so that they won’t melt with the wire. The thread jamming structure parts are made of stainless steel and with antirust design.
Anti refuse operation design	Anti misoperation design
We adopt large cross-section design of magnetic circuit, it has good permeability performance, accuracy measurement and high sensitivity. They can be very sensitive no matter in the rural power line small load current or small mutations conditions or in the city network line two phase short circuit or slow flow conditions.	It has anti misoperation design, when the inrush current occurs after the non-loading line is switched on and anti misoperation of non fault branch when it’s on.
Communication mode
Embedded short-range two-way wireless communication frequencyRF modules, the GPRS data can communicate via data collection terminal or wireless repeater.

4. Fault criterions

 

When the short-circuit fault occurs, we can shortly find out the fault point. For example, if the line 2 # phase B 2, 5 ,8 indicators and phase C 3, 6,9 indicators turn red display and 11,12 indicators are staying white display, then it can be judged that the point D has occurred short-circuit fault.

 

 

The line 2 # phase C 3, 6, 9 indicator day turn, and 12 indicator is still white, it can be judged a point D happen fault.

5. Intelligent overhead data collecting communication terminal

    

5.1. Summarize

Overhead type data collecting communication terminal CSM-FTU4-I is mainly used for fault indicators signal transmission, fault locating and real-time online monitor system, and send the data to the communication station via GPRS. Furthermore, it can receive the communicate station link circuit query, link circuit reset, information collecting, remote control (data acquisition unit resets, indicator flashes/resets ), remote setting (parameters of data acquisition unit and indicator) orders. It collects the operation information, load current /short circuit operation current, the first half-wave peak current/grounding operation current and data of electric field to ground of 1~30 installed indicators nearby via short range radio frequency (it can adjust the channel automatically).At last, CSM-FTU-4 transmits the collected data to the communicate station via GPRS.

 

5.2. Structure

Overhead type data collecting communication terminal CSM-FTU4-I mainly consists of the chassis, the MPU (including an RF main node module, GPRS module, SIM card), RF module antenna, GPRS antenna, wide ranged temperature rechargeable batteries, solar panels.

 

5.3,Features

     (1) RF node parameters online adjustment

      It would be set before delivery, we don’t need to do the local settings online.

NOTE: There may be quite complicated of the technical parameters and to use the function of RF module, welcome to consult our technical staff.

     (2)Settings of GPRS parameters

     It would be set before delivery, we don’t need to do the local settings online.If you really need to change the settings, you can send text messages through authorized phone number, or via wired deb ing box.

The GPRS module of CSM-FTU4-I has been running online normally until the battery voltage is lower than 10.5 V. If the GPRS module power off, it can recover after receive the signal of short circuit or grounding from the indicators, or in 10 minutes after power on. Therefore, you should disconnect the solar panel, battery and control board for more than 10 seconds, and then re-Power-on after you change the GPRS parameters of the CSM-FTU4-I.

NOTE: GPRS parameter Settings have UART maintenance interface Settings (cable) and SMS Settings (the mobile phone must be the authorized number) two methods.

    (3) Parameters settings of overhead type data collecting communication terminal CSM-FTU4-I

    It would be set before delivery, we don’t need to do the local settings online. If you want to add more fault detection point or change the configuration table of the indicators, you can change the settings online.

Note: CSM - FTU4 –I parameter Settings have UART maintenance interface Settings (cable) and local RF wireless set up twomethods.

 

 

6. Workflow of the whole system

    The system is used for the less than 35kv voltage level transmission and distribution lines. When the fault occurs on the power line, the indicators report the detect result to the communication terminal by transmitting via radio frequency. The damaged line information will send to the specified Internet address of the monitor system via GPRS from the communication terminal. The monitor system will analyze the data once it receive the signal from the communication terminal, then locate the fault section quickly. At last, the monitor system will alarm and it can select to send the information to the specified manager’s cell phone,

Furthermore, the indicator can transmit the real-time status collect from the network to the monitor system.
