Short-Circuit Indicators with mechanical flag Earthing Fault Indicator (EFI) M

As part of import substitution, a fault indicator for cable lines has been developed and put into mass production - EFI M, which is designed to detect and indicate short-circuit currents and replaces the functionality of the foreign analogue Alpha M from Horstmann.

EFI M is a short-circuit current indicator with a built-in mechanical flag that requires no auxiliary power. It is designed for the detection and remote indication of short-circuit currents in 7.2-40.5 kV distribution networks with any type of earthing.

The device consists of an indicator unit - logger and three electronic current sensors.
