PRODUCT INFORMATION

Short-circuit indicator

Type VE AND FA

These short-circuit indicators can be used in radial networks with one input and open-ring networks. The indication of the short-circuit is done by one flag indicator for each phase.
The connection between the sensors and the display unit is done by cable. The sensor must be mounted on screened cables. The sensors are divisible and can be retrofitted. For the operation of the display device no power supply is required. The energy required to indicate the short-circuit is directly obtained from the sensors on the cable. The indicator type VE has a manual reset button. The indicator type FA is gaining energy of the monitored
network by a fourth sensor for an automatic reset. (6A operating current required).

The short-circuit indicator type VE and FA consists of:

– One display unit for displaying short-circuits
– Three sensors type VK for detecting short-circuits
– One additional reset sensor for resetting the display unit (type FA only)
