Short circuit indicators Lodestar CL0.2B VEH are powered from the line.

The devices are designed to determine the damaged area on overhead lines of distribution networks with voltage of 6-35 kV.

The Lodestar CL0.2B VEH does not have replaceable batteries, the indicator is powered directly from the line voltage (from 6 kV).

Advantages:

Maintenance-free, no removable batteries and accumulators.
Sensitivity to emergency process currents from 0.2A.
Live line installation on any type of wire.

The Lodestar CL0.2B VEH set consists of three indicators and has a short-range radio channel for connection using the Lodestar App remote control. Lodestar CL0.2B VEH can communicate with different types of receiver models: Communication unit Lodestar Lightbox, Communication unit Lodestar Smartbox.

Communication units can transmit fault information to the KOMORSAN monitoring system or SCADA system via GSM/GPRS/3G (IEC60870-5-104, GRE, Ipsec, OpenVPN and other network protocols are possible).
