LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
For over 60 years, SEL’s Fault Indicator and Sensor Division has pursued the mission of making
electric power safer, more reliable, and more economical by designing and manufacturing fault
indicators and sensors for electric utilities, cooperatives, universities, military installations,
healthcare facilities, refineries, wind farms, and solar plants. We have listened to our customers’
challenges and developed innovative solutions to meet their needs.
This year’s catalog highlights many of these solutions. In addition to key features and ordering
information, we have included short application examples, which we hope you will find helpful. For
example, our WSO-10 and WSO-11 Wireless Sensors serve as vital tools in outage management.
Applied on overhead distribution circuits, they collect system information that is then transmitted
via integrated radio to an access point within your wireless communications system.
Our AutoRANGER® Fault Indicators have self-adjusting trip thresholds to help reduce inventory,
engineering time, and crew training. The AR360 features a 360-degree visible intelligent display,
and the Underground AutoRANGER with fiber-optic display is the brightest in the industry.
Let the RadioRANGER® Wireless Fault Indication System help you quickly locate faults without
leaving your vehicle.
Unique to the industry, our PILC Fault Indicator for paper-insulated lead cable is easy to install, cost efficient, and versatile. With it,
you can narrow possible fault locations to one or two spans of cable.
Another SEL innovation, the SEL-8315 Phase Comparison Faulted Circuit Indicator detects solid dielectric cable failures in
underground transmission cables from 69 to 230 kV in concrete-encased duct banks.
SEL fault indicators and sensors can help you cut fault-finding time in half, improve line crew safety, and restore power faster. Visit
www.selinc.com/FCI to download additional materials, such as full-length application notes and guides, guideform specifications,
and other product literature. For more information on these and all SEL products, please contact your local sales representative.
I would like to close by encouraging you to participate in our Modern Solutions Power Systems Conference in Houston, Texas,
June 3-5, 2014. This makes the third year for our silo-busting, noncommercial conference, dedicated to learning and sharing
fundamentals, ideas, and experiences from across a wide spectrum of interest and expertise.
Thank you for your interest and confidence in SEL. We are at your service.
Sincerely,
Edmund O. Schweitzer, III Ph.D.

FAULT INDICATORS AND SENSORS
FAULT INDICATOR AND SENSOR APPLICATIONS
FAULT INDICATOR AND SENSOR APPLICATIONS
SEL fault indicators sense the magnetic field produced by current flowing through a conductor. When fault current passes
through the fault indicator, the fault indicator “trips,” indicating a fault. Because SEL offers a variety of fault indicator displays,
the trip can be indicated by a reflective target, flashing light, or combination of the two display types. The Tamperproof Bolt
Display, read by a compass-like tool, and RadioRANGER® Remote Fault Reader provide other display options.

Tripped Fault Indicator
Untripped Fault Indicator
Fuse
Line crews find the location of faults by isolating the section of line between the last tripped (red) fault indicator and the
first untripped (white) fault indicator.
UNDERGROUND
OVERHEAD
In underground applications, a utility usually places a fault
indicator at cable terminations along each primary cable. The
indicators upstream of the fault will trip, and the indicators
downstream of the fault will remain in the untripped position.
As a result, the utility can easily identify the faulted section of
cable without going through a time-consuming re-fuse and
sectionalize process.
When a fault occurs on an overhead system, the easy-to-spot
displays on the SEL fault indicators lead the line crew to the
faulted section of line.
Underground applications include subsurface or pad-mounted
transformers, subsurface or pad-mounted switchgear, and
sectionalizing cabinets, junction boxes, and splices.
The RadioRANGER Wireless Fault Indication System, designed
for underground vault applications, uses radio frequency to
communicate fault status to a handheld Remote Fault Reader.
An auxiliary contact option provides SCADA compatibility.

SEL FAULT INDICATOR AND SENSOR DIVISION | WWW.SELINC.COM
Overhead applications include unfused taps, long feeders with
midline reclosers or sectionalizers, overhead-to-underground
transitions, and feeders that experience recurring faults.
Applying fault counters and timed reset fault indicators, such
as the Overhead AutoRANGER, in areas affected by momentary
outages and flickering lights is an efficient means of identifying
the location of temporary faults. This application of fault
indicators provides utilities with the information to resolve these
disruptions. Using fault indicators reduces costs to utilities and
their customers, and improves utilities’ reliability indices.
FAULT INDICATORS AND SENSORS
FAULT INDICATOR AND SENSOR APPLICATIONS
Use SEL fault indicators and distribution protection equipment
together to better identify the location of a fault.
When a fault occurs, the SEL feeder relay calculates the fault
location as a distance from the substation to the fault, which
is information that could be communicated to a lineman’s cell
phone via the SEL-3010 Event Messenger. When a feeder has
multiple taps, as shown in the diagram below, the line crew is
unable to determine which tap to follow to find the location of the
fault. SEL fault indicators provide a solution by pointing the way
to the correct tap, then to the faulted section of line.
Combine fault indicators with recloser controls to find faults
even faster. Recloser controls sectionalize the line and quickly
determine the distance to a fault. Apply fault indicators
downstream of protective devices, including reclosers, to further
narrow down the location of the fault and reduce fault-finding
time.

• Monitors average or peak load current, fault threshold,
battery status, and history of outages and surge events.
• Allows more efficient maintenance scheduling using
stored data profiles.
• Prevents false tripping with the inrush restraint feature,
which allows for coordinated integration with automated
reclosing schemes.
• Installs quickly using a standard hot stick.
• Displays visual target in addition to remote indication.
• Employs AutoRANGER® technology.
• Automatically adjusts fault threshold based on steadystate load.
• Designed to meet IEEE 495 standards.
Distribution Automation—Integrate with the distance-to-fault
element in the protective relay to determine the location of the
fault when multiple distance-to-fault solutions are present.
Feeder Reconfiguration—Install near remote-controlled,
motor-operated switches to provide information for feeder
reconfiguration.
Troubleshooting Crews—Provide fault information so
troubleshooting crews can be dispatched directly to the area of
the fault.
Reduced Patrol Time—Reduce the patrol time required to
locate the fault when used in conjunction with fault indicators
that have local indication.

FEATURED APPLICATIONS
KEY FEATURES
Fault Location—Close into a fault to locate the fault. The inrush
restraint feature is disabled so the device will indicate when the
circuit is switched into a fault.
• Indicator’s nominal trip rating is field-selectable based
on circuit load and available fault current—stock one fault
indicator for a variety of system conditions.
• Provides clear visual indication of the fault path to line crews
in the field.
• Reduces fault-locating time by guiding line crews to the
faulted line section.
• Provides a simple, economical way to improve utility
reliability metrics by reducing outage durations.
• Inrush restraint feature allows for coordinated integration
with automatic reclosing schemes, preventing false tripping.
• Rugged construction ensures long product life.
• Quick, simple installation.
- Installs with a single hot stick—no extra clamps or screws
- Zero maintenance
- Test and manually reset with the CRSRTT tool
Troubleshooting for Overhead Lines—Field-select one of four
fixed trip values: 50 A, 100 A, 200 A, or 400 A. Use lower nominal
trip ratings at the ends of circuits due to lower available fault
currents. Use higher nominal trip ratings near the substation.
Conveniently keep units on the truck. Temporarily apply at key
points along the circuit to troubleshoot a fault. Remove after
the fault is located.
Timed-Reset Intervals—Manually reset using the magnet test
tool so that units can be reapplied to another part of the circuit
to further narrow down the faulted circuit section. If you don’t
have the opportunity to reset the units, designate a four-hour
timed-reset interval, and the units will clear after four hours to
conserve battery life.
Overhead or Underground Application—Install the units within
the 0.162" to 1.50" clamping range.

SEL FAULT INDICATOR AND SENSOR DIVISION | WWW.SELINC.COM
The PC FCI is designed to detect solid dielectric cable failures.
Solid dielectric cables, such as cross-linked polyethylene
(XLPE), are predominant in underground transmission cables
from 69 to 230 kV. Construction of these systems typically
consists of concrete-encased duct banks. Cable runs can be
limited to a maximum of 2,000 feet to allow for manageable
cable spool size and to prevent installers from damaging
the cable when they pull it through a conduit. Cable splices
are required to connect cable sections and are located in
underground splice vaults.
The RadioRANGER Interface Probe connects
the SEL-8315 PC FCI to the SEL-8300 Wireless
Interface. When the SEL-8315 PC FCI detects
an out-of-phase condition, it sends a pulse
from each SEL-8315 unit to the Wireless
Interface, which latches the faulted phase
condition. When the SEL-8310 Remote Fault
Reader interrogates the Wireless Interface,
the Wireless Interface then reports the faulted
phase information.
SEL-8310
A single phase sensor is shown. The SEL-8315
system consists of six phase sensors, two
interface probes, and associated hardware.

pad-mounted enclosures.
• Multiple IDs allow the crew to easily identify the vault, way,
and phase on which the fault occurred.
• Remote Fault Reader displays Wireless Interface system
health and fault indicator status.
• Two-way communications link prevents ambiguity
by transmitting both tripped and reset fault indicator
information. Users can retrieve Wireless Interface and fault
indicator status at any time.
• Covered by a ten-year, no-questions-asked warranty.
Metropolitan Areas, Airports, Universities, and Industrial
Sites—Apply the RadioRANGER and SEL fault indicators to
quickly locate faults. There is no need to open, enter, pump, or
drain multiple vaults or manholes to determine fault indicator
status. Troubleshooters use the information displayed on the
remote fault reader to find the faulted cable section, in many
cases without leaving the truck.
Safety—Reduce arc-flash risks to line crews by eliminating
the need to open high-voltage enclosures or enter subsurface
vaults during fault-finding patrols.
Challenging Terrain and Environment—Apply the
RadioRANGER fault indication system to monitor pad-mounted
structures in remote, difficult-to-access areas or when deep
snow, challenging winds, or high temperatures create adverse
conditions for line crews.
Wind Farms and Solar Photovoltaic Plants—Bridge the
distance to pad-mounted enclosures, and read the fault status
from the road.

FEATURED APPLICATIONS
KEY FEATURES
Versatile Distribution Automation Sensors—Apply
AR-URD—Underground AutoRANGERs in underground
distribution equipment, such as pad-mounted and subsurface
transformers, switchgear, and junction boxes. Identify the
location of a fault by using your SEL fault indicators together
with your SEL distribution protection equipment.
• Adjusts for load fluctuations, resulting in a decreased need
for field service.
• Target-only (no LED) display options are powered by load
current rather than a battery, decreasing maintenance and
cost of ownership.
•BEACON® LED models have a 15-plus-year product life,
minimizing trips to the field to replace batteries.
• Monitors current, and automatically adjusts trip response
time to better coordinate with upstream protection.
• Derives a normalization current as a function of measured
circuit load to distinguish circuit restoration from backfeed
current.
Security and Dependability—Install an AR-URD, and the
sophisticated microprocessor immediately goes to work. The
unit samples the load current and automatically adjusts its trip
threshold for secure and dependable performance.
Cost-Effective Solution—Reduce stocking concerns by
stocking one type of fault indicator that can be applied across
the system. Reduce inventory, engineering time, crew training
needs, and misapplication by taking advantage of the AR-URD’s
self-adjusting trip thresholds. The trip threshold is selected
automatically based on sampled load current, making these
units suitable for applications with fault currents ranging from
as low as 50 A to greater than 1200 A.
Configuration Choices Optimize Performance—Ensure the
best fault-indicating solution for your underground application
by choosing from a wide variety of single- and three-phase
display options, including remote displays that eliminate the
need to open the enclosure to check the fault indicator’s status.

FEATURED APPLICATIONS
KEY FEATURES
Systems With Low Load and Low Voltage—Apply TR—Timed
Reset Fault Indicators to systems that do not provide sufficient
voltage or current to reset and arm a fault indicator.
• Automatic reset at the end of a fixed reset period allows time
for crews to locate permanent and momentary faults.
• Ideal in locations where false reset from backfeed is a concern.
• Several remote display options eliminate the need to open an
enclosure cabinet to determine the indicator’s status.
• Available with test point timed reset (TTR) or clamp-on timed
reset (TR) sensors for single- and three-phase applications.
• Auxiliary contact option for SCADA compatibility.
Fault Troubleshooting—Apply to circuits to troubleshoot
momentary and permanent faults. The TR provides the
same indication for both momentary and permanent faults.
Depending on the length of a circuit outage in comparison
to the timed reset period, TR Fault Indicators can hold their
indication during an outage so troubleshooters have ample
time to locate the faulted circuit section. The TR does not reset
on current or voltage. Fault indication will be held for the timed
reset period after a temporary or permanent fault, and continue
to provide indication after the system is reenergized until
expiration of the timed reset period.

Wind Farm Favorite—Determine fault location and restore
operations in wind farm collector systems. Wind turbine
outputs are fed through a transformer and distributed overhead
or underground to a collector substation. The voltage will then
be stepped up by the collector substation transformer to the
utility transmission voltage. A single fault can disable from
one to an entire line of turbines. SEL fault indicators help
operations personnel quickly determine the location of the
fault, isolate the faulted section, and restore the balance of
the wind farm. Apply the 3VR—Three-Phase Voltage Reset to a
600 A class basic insulating plug that has capacitive test points.
• No batteries required.
• Voltage powered from basic insulating plug (BIP).
• No T-body capacitive test point required.
• Automatic reset on BIP voltage restoration.
• Energy harvesting is independent of load current.
• Several remote display options available.
• Auxiliary contact option for SCADA compatibility.
Low Load Current—Install 3VRs where there is insufficient load
current to power a current reset fault indicator. These sensors
use voltage for power and reset.

• The secondary voltage supplies the necessary arm and reset
requirements in applications where there is insufficient load
current to use a CR product.
• Available for single- and three-phase applications.
• Choose from BEACON® LED, target, and combination displays,
depending on your application and operating practices.
• Reset restraint option prevents undesired reset from
backfeed voltage. Please consult SEL.

Automatic Source Transfers—Apply VS—Voltage Sensors for
automatic source transfer applications where the detection of
a loss of system voltage for a source that feeds mission-critical
loads will initiate a transfer to another source.
• Three-phase voltage sensors detect primary system voltage
on main and alternate sources in pad-mounted automatic
transfer schemes.
• Voltage sensors detect voltage via the test point of the
separable connector component. The presence of system
voltage is indicated by an electrically isolated contact.
• SEL makes and calibrates each voltage sensor as a complete
custom solution for each application.
• Sensor circuitry monitors primary system voltage and
controls contact status.
• Wye and ungrounded delta models allow you to match your
system configuration.
• Contacts latch closed when system voltage on three phases
is above 90 percent. Contacts latch open when system
voltage on any phase drops below 75 percent. Delta units
require voltage drop in two or more phases.

TOP TEN REASONS TO USE SEL FAULT INDICATORS
TOP TEN REASONS TO USE SEL FAULT INDICATORS
1. Cut Fault-Finding Time in Half
Systematically applied fault indicators reduce fault-finding
time by 50 percent or more, making them a powerful tool
for improving reliability indices, such as CAIDI (Customer
Average Interruption Duration Index). Shorter outages
mean reduced costs to utilities and their customers.
2. Improve Line Crew Safety
Reclosing and sectionalizing to find the location of a fault
put line crew safety at risk. Use fault indicators for faster,
safer fault finding.
3. Multiple Displays and Features Meet Your Needs
SEL has a solution for your application. Choose from
overhead or underground models; LED, target, or radio
frequency indication; and a variety of clamp and reset
options. Remote displays on underground fault indicators
eliminate the need to open an enclosure to determine the
fault indicators’ status, saving time and making life easier
for troubleshooters.
4. SEL Fault Indicators Need Zero or Little Maintenance
Choose a battery-free or nonreplaceable-battery fault
indicator for zero maintenance over the product’s 15-plusyear lifetime. Durable construction and automatic reset
mean that SEL fault indicators do not require operators’
attention—unless they’re doing their job of leading a line
crew to the location of a fault.
5. Locate Temporary and Permanent Faults
Apply Timed Reset Fault Indicators and Fault Counters in
areas affected by momentary outages and flickering lights
to efficiently locate temporary faults. Using fault indicators
reduces costs and improves distribution reliability. The
Overhead AutoRANGER® differentiates between temporary
and permanent faults with distinct displays.

6. Restore Power Faster With a Midpoint
Sectionalizing Application
Applying fault indicators at the midpoint of a feeder allows
troubleshooters to restore power to the unaffected portion
of the system—even before identifying the exact location
of the fault. SEL fault indicator customers applying a
midpoint sectionalizing method experience improved
reliability and reduced customer outage time.
7. Complete the Job That Protective Relays and
Reclosers Start
SEL relays calculate the distance from the station to a
fault, but not which tap or branch the fault is on. Fault
indicators complete the job by leading line crews down
the correct tap so that they can restore power faster and
spend less time in the field looking for the specific location
of the fault.
8. Benefit From SEL Customer Service, Field Support,
and Warranty
All fault indicators manufactured by the SEL Fault
Indicator and Sensor Division come with a five-year, noquestions-asked warranty, the best in the world for fault
indicators. The RadioRANGER® Wireless Fault Indication
System has a ten-year warranty.
9. Installation Is Line Crew Friendly
SEL fault indicators install without the use of special tools,
straps, screws, or complicated clamping mechanisms.
