Easergy Flite 210 - 230
PE56270
Pole mounted fault indicator
for overhead MV network
Application
The fault indicators Flite 210 and Flite 230 are dedicated to overhead MV network
with direct or resistive earthing neutral system.
Mounted on the pole, the detection is done through analysis of the electrical and
electromagnetic field. They have to be mounted on pole on which the electrical field
is free of any of influence from the environment.
Flite 210: lithium battery powered
Flite 230: power supply by solar cells and Cd-Ni rechargeable battery.
Description
Flite 210 and Flite 230 boxes are made of polycarbonat ABS to be mounted on the
pole by 10 mm steel wrap bands.

Fault detection
A patented sensor, permanently measures the magnetical field, image of the MV
current, and an other sensor measures the electrical field, image of the voltage.
A fault is either a passing over an absolute current threshold (Imax) or a passing
over a current increase during a defined time (di/dt).
The permanent faults are confirmed by the loss of voltage which follows the fault
current, issued by the protection tripping upstream the fault.
On fault current occurence, the transient fault LED (Amber) starts flashing for 24 h.
