The expansion of networks, digitalization, and stricter regulations have made fault detection and localization a top priority for energy companies. Outages directly hurt financial metrics and customer satisfaction.
Modern, complex medium-voltage grids require solutions that go beyond traditional maintenance. Rapid fault pinpointing is now a critical operational task.
A key challenge lies with overhead lines (OHL), vulnerable to weather. To address this, Atriy offers the OHL Fault Indicator Lodestar CL0.5 BM-S. This device accurately determines fault area on 6-70 kV lines and transfers information to the operator. With easy, calibration-free setup, it is designed to work in isolated or compensated neutral networks.
By implementing targeted solutions like this, grid operators can drastically cut fault-finding time on critical assets. This transforms their approach from reactive response to proactive network management—a critical step toward building resilient and efficient power systems.
