LOK20
Fault indicator for medium voltage overhead lines.
Also available in presentation mode…
Fault Indicator for Medium Voltage Overhead Line:
- intended for fast fault finding
- flashlight indication, visible at least 300 m
- reliable operation, independent of geometrical configuration of conductors
- self-testing
- infra-red remote control
- solar panel for continuous battery charging
- simple installation
- minimum maintenance
General description
Fault indicator LOK 20 was designed for fast faults locating on medium voltage overhead lines. It detects faults by monitoring magnetic field strength and phase changes.
LOK 20 should be placed on poles of important network sections. When line fault occurs, only indicators installed between feeding substation and the fault will activate its flashlight signal.
Flashlight signal is visible in bright daylight at least from 300 m. Every fault is registered also on LCD display - fault counter, located on the front panel. The battery is charged by solar panel, placed on the pole above the device.
Technical data
| Range of application: |
- medium voltage overhead line - wooden, concrete or metal poles - independent of geometrical configuration of conductors mounted on pole |
|---|---|
