A Wireless Solution for Improved Tripping and Reclosing Traditionally, distribution substation protection schemes have been unable to distinguish between underground and overhead faults. This results in either reclosing on an underground fault, which impacts equipment life, or blocking reclosing for an overhead fault, which reduces service reliability. |
Now, there’s a better approach. The SEL-FT50 and SEL-FR12 Fault Transmitter and Receiver System works to determine and broadcast the location of a feeder fault to your relay before the tripping or reclosing event occurs. |
Learn how the SEL-FT50 and SEL-FR12 system can improve service reliability and extend equipment life for your distribution substation. Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories |
