The Benefits of Using FCIs

Aid in the location and isolation of the faulted cable or equipment Reduces system down time and restoration costs Reduces lost revenue Increases customer service levels Improves personnel safety & system reliability Reduces stresses on circuit cable and components through efficient sectionalizing Minimizes potential destruction of customer owned sensitive equipment

Faulted Circuit Indicators

How FCIs Operate

During a fault, high fault current is present from the source of the fault location.
Installed FCIs on the system sense this condition and trip ( LED, Flag, Strobe, Radio Signal, etc.). Troublemen look for fault indicators and follow to identify the location of the fault.

Faulted Circuit Indicators

How FCIs Operate (contd)

Locate the last tripped FCI and the first untripped FCI, the fault has been isolated to a specific section of the circuit. Crews will switch out the faulted segment and restore power to the remaining part of the circuit.
The faulted segment is then repaired. Some Examples of a typical URD Circuits installed with FCIs:
