Overhead fault monitoring

TS200MT/AT: fault detector for medium- and high-voltage lines

Detects temporary and permanent faults and the presence or absence of voltage and current at the point where it is installed, and reports them in real time with a timestamp.

TS200MT/AT

What it is for

Know where voltage or current was lost

Reports, with a timestamp, the presence and absence of voltage and current, and temporary and permanent faults at the installation point.

Install it without field configuration

It installs without field configuration, on bare or covered cables of 6 to 33 mm, on conventional or compact grids.

No batteries, no maintenance

Solar panel and maintenance-free ultracapacitors. 40 hours of autonomy in normal mode and more than 20 in economy mode; a full charge in sunlight takes 20 to 120 minutes depending on the weather.

Versions are available for medium voltage up to 34.5 kV and high voltage up to 88 kV. A permanent-fault LED on the underside shows the event on the device. In economy mode the device suppresses temporary and permanent fault monitoring. Detection values can be configured at the factory.

How it integrates

Sigfox communication

Messages travel over the Sigfox network, with an integrated module and open frequencies, with AES-128 security and encrypted callback. Any change of state triggers an immediate timestamped message; with no events, it sends 2 keep-alive messages a day. With Sigfox, the customer's existing network is used.

Platform and SCADA

Packets are redirected to Habitat, which acts as a database and converts the information to DNP3 and IEC 104 for the operations SCADA server.

Factory values

di/dt sensitivity of 10 A with 25, 50, 100 or 150 % (dt fixed at 16 ms), peak of 1 to 4 cycles, total protection time of 0 to 200 s and voltage (3 to 10 kV) and current (3 to 10 A) presence thresholds. Default: 60 Hz, 10 A and 50 % at 16 ms, 2 cycles (32 ms), 70 s, 3 kV and 3 A.
