Overhead Line Fault Indicator

TE Connectivity is proud to bring IKI-OH, an overhead fault current indicator we can bring to you through our brand Kries. These devices can be used for up to 36 kV overhead distribution lines, and from #4 - 1000 kcmil cable sizes.

IKI-OH is tested for IEEE-495 standards, and meeting these requirements over operating temperatures from -30C to 75C (-22F to 167F).

IKI-OH was designed to enable installation without de-energizing the circuit to be monitored. With no special tools besides what is typically found on a bucket truck, IKI-OH can be quickly and easily installed. Kries' IKI-OH allows for detecting many different types of fault conditions, helping grid operators to quickly return power delivery to customers effected by an unplanned outage. Even low-current / high-impedance fault conditions can now be detected by IKI-OH-R2.5. Conditions like vegetation strikes, or downed condutors, can be detected potentially preventing wildfires and unsafe conditions. Using the remote reporting IKI-OH-R2.5, real time conditions detected on the grid can be reported back to a centralized distribution control center giving better awareness and reducing SAIDI impacts of unplanned fault conditions.
