Fault Management Software
Reliable power distribution starts with knowing exactly where a fault has occurred. Atriy's Lodestar CL series of line fault indicators and sensors gives utilities precise, real-time fault location on overhead distribution lines from 6 to 100 kV — reducing outage time and restoring service faster.
Precise Fault Detection Across Your Distribution Network
Each Lodestar CL line fault detector continuously monitors overhead power lines and reports fault location within seconds of occurrence. By integrating directly with SCADA systems, operators can isolate faulted sections immediately — enabling source transfer, coordinated switching, and rapid crew dispatch to the exact fault location.
Atriy's line fault sensor technology supports utilities in achieving measurable improvements in grid reliability:
- Rapid fault localization — the power line fault indicator pinpoints the faulted segment, eliminating the need for manual line patrol
- Fault current indication — the built-in fault current indicator captures and transmits overcurrent event data, enabling accurate post-fault analysis
- Real-time SCADA reporting — instant notifications allow operators to act before an outage escalates
- Reduced outage duration — faster isolation directly lowers SAIDI and SAIFI metrics
- Lower operational costs — fewer truck rolls, less manual inspection, more efficient crew routing
Key Technical Capabilities of Lodestar CL
- Live-line installation — the fault indicator clamps onto energized lines without service interruption
- SCADA/RTU integration — fault events transmitted automatically to control centers via standard communication protocols
- Wide voltage range — designed for distribution lines from 6 to 100 kV
- Harsh-environment durability — rated for demanding outdoor conditions, ensuring reliable long-term operation
- Fault current recording — logs overcurrent magnitudes for engineering review and protection coordination
Why Utilities Choose Lodestar CL Over Competitors
SEL and other vendors offer fault indicators primarily for North American distribution architectures. Lodestar CL is engineered for the 6–100 kV range common in European and international distribution networks, with SCADA integration and form factors optimized for those grid standards.
