Overhead line fault indicators (6-70kV)

Lodestar CL25B Master

Key Features and Benefits

ATRIY’s Lodestar is a compact device that clamps onto a live conductor to continuously monitor line conditions. It serves as an overhead line fault detector, watching for any anomaly, and essentially acts as a short circuit sensor on overhead line, instantly detecting short-circuit currents and other disturbances.

Unlike many overhead line fault sensors that only flash a light on the wire as a basic warning, Lodestar immediately transfers detailed information to operators. Maintenance crews no longer need to patrol countless miles to find a tripped breaker or downed wire – the indicator itself identifies the problem area, leading to faster repairs, improved safety, and significantly reduced downtime.

Key advantages include:

Accurate detection: Quickly identifies short circuits and line damage across the network, distinguishing real issues from transient events.

Automatic remote alerts: As soon as it detects an issue, the unit sends an immediate alert via 3G/4G to SCADA for real-time monitoring, speeding up decision-making during outages.

Easy installation: The conductor mounted design allows installation on live lines without any outage, so utilities can deploy the devices without disrupting services.

Smart grid management: Lodestar supports a smart grid by isolating problem sections quickly and rerouting power to minimize outage impact and losses.

SCADA Integration

Lodestar’s built-in GSM communication sends alerts directly to SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems, so operators instantly know when and where a problem occurs. This remote visibility enables faster crew dispatch and allows to transform a traditional grid into a smart grid that can be managed proactively. Integration with automated switchgear further speeds up restoration and improves overall reliability.

ATRIY’s Lodestar is a solution that improves distribution network reliability by enabling rapid outage response. By installing these intelligent fault indicators, utilities can minimize downtime and losses. Don’t wait for the next blackout – contact ATRIY today to equip your grid with Lodestar and experience a more resilient network.
