Overview
Short Circuit & Earth faults in underground cables are the most common cause of power outages in urban power distribution networks. Locating and isolating a fault, while restoring the healthy part of the network as quickly as possible, can significantly reduce outage costs and maintain the quality of supply and safety requirements. Infinite offers innovative solutions for automatic fault management, based on the Aerinos battery powered RTUs combined with ground fault indicators. Line faults can be identified and located in near real time. Fault detection units can be connected to a SCADA using any modern protocol.
