Fault indicators for high-voltage lines

The Lodestar CL HVx series fault passage indicators are designed for high‑voltage overhead lines, detecting phase‑to‑phase faults in 70-230 kV networks.

Mounted directly on line conductors, these devices provide accurate fault detection in complex network configurations.

Benefits:

High‑voltage compatibility – optimized for installation on high‑voltage conductors with secure attachment and reliable operation under extreme electrical stress.
Faraday cage protection – shields internal electronics from external electromagnetic interference, ensuring reliable operation in high‑voltage environments.
Corona discharge immunity – specially designed housing prevents the effects of corona discharge, guaranteeing stable performance on 36–110 kV overhead lines.
Bluetooth Low Energy configuration – easy setup and adjustment from any smartphone using the Lodestar App.
Dual status indication – visual bright LED indication or remote monitoring via Lodestar App on a smartphone.
Directional fault detection and asset ownership demarcation – identifies fault current direction and defines balance sheet responsibility boundaries.
Flexible SCADA integration – IEC 60870‑5‑104 via KOMORSAN software or direct DNP3 connection using a communication unit.
