Fault Indicator IK-10

Fault indicator for local and remote supervision of earth and short-circuit faults in cable substations, up to 4 feeders.

The microprocessor-based IK-10 fault indicator uses SS-10 and SS-20 current sensors to supervise MV feeder bays in 10(20)/0.4 kV cable substations. It registers the fault before protection trips, indicates fault type and location locally by LEDs, and supports the external SL-10 signal lamp and remote communication.

  • Up to four feeders

    One IK-10 can supervise up to 4 feeders and detect earth and short-circuit faults per feeder.

  • Two Io measurement arrangements

    Arrangement A uses three SS-10 sensors for Io >= 20 A, while arrangement B combines SS-10 and SS-20 for Io >= 5 A.

  • Local and external indication

    Eight device LEDs and the optional SL-10 signal lamp enable quick fault recognition.

  • Remote supervision

    Connection to UST-10Gc, GSM/GPRS or radio modem enables economical remote fault supervision and network reconfiguration.

  • Uninterruptible supply

    A connected VRLA battery can provide the device with its own uninterruptible supply.
