Description

Visual fault passage indication for medium-voltage overhead distribution feeders

The OLI-635 is a compact overhead line fault indicator for radial and loop-operated medium-voltage feeders. It is intended for installation directly on a phase conductor and provides clear visual indication after short-circuit or earth-fault passage.

The device combines current surge detection with voltage presence supervision to reduce nuisance indication during load switching and transformer inrush. It is suitable for utilities that need a field-visible indicator without permanent communication infrastructure.

Typical applications

  • Phase-selective fault indication for overhead distribution feeders
  • Configurable trip thresholds for different feeder loading conditions
  • Automatic reset after line re-energization or by timer
  • Lightweight clamp-on installation with hot-stick tool
Engineering note: Trip thresholds, reset logic, communication architecture, insulation coordination, EMC performance and installation method must be validated against the target feeder, grounding method, protection settings and applicable utility standards before final specification.
