flag, so as to be clearly visible in the bright sunlight during day times. Further, FPIs
shall transmit the fault information to RF-GSM based RTU for onward
communication to SCADA / control center.
RESET:
Once the fault is cleared, the FPI shall reset itself upon the power return (If required it
shall be possible to disable this automatic reset at site.) It shall also have a facility of
resetting with settable time duration, remote reset and manual reset.
TRANSIENT FAULT EVOLUTION:
If FPI is busy in flashing on transient fault and if the permanent fault occurs, the FPI
shall automatically change the priority and shall start flashing differently to show the
permanent fault; thus helping maintenance crew to review the priorities.
POWER / BATTERY:
The FPIs shall be powered by inductive pickup from the 11kV conductor with a
minimum operating current of 20A. During faults, when the system is down, FPIs
shall be powered by lithium battery. The lithium battery provided inside the FPI shall
be replaceable type, in case of battery failures. The battery shall have a life of up to 10
years or indicating time of 1000 hours.
TEST AND RESET:
The FPI shall be equipped with remote Test and Reset features, so that the
functionalities including status of battery and flag can be tested without dismounting
the FPI from the line.
INSTALLATION:
The FPIs shall be suitable for installing on overhead line conductors using hotsticks,
while the line is in charged condition.
SETTINGS:
The settings for the FPI shall be programmable both at site as well as from control
center, without dismounting the FPI from the line. Following parameters shall be user
programmable.
Trip Current
Response Time
Reset Time
Turn On / Off indication for Transient Faults and Temporary Faults
Turn On / Off auto-reclosure support function and related parameters
REMOTE CONTROL UNIT:
The FPI shall be supplied along with suitable Remote Control Unit, having a LCD
display, capable of performing the following operations at site.
Perform Test / Reset operations by standing below the FPIs.
View settings of various parameters of the FPI like trip current, response time,
reset time, temporary fault indication status, transient fault indication status,
auto-reclosure support status etc.

reset command to be executed from the control center / SCADA. If it is required that
the FPI-RTU system be integrated to existing SCADA, the same shall be compatible
with generic concentrators / routers on IEC-104 protocol.
SOFTWARE:
If implemented as a stand-alone solution, suitable software shall be provided for
monitoring the field devices, i.e. FPIs and RTUs from the control center over Internet.
This software shall be user-friendly and Windows based. This software shall enable
easy navigation of field RTUs and FPIs on a map. The software shall be web-based
and accessible though standard Internet browser. The software shall indicate the status
of FPIs, settings and alarms if any. The software shall have the capability to modify
the settings of the FPIs installed in the field over GPRS. Adequate security levels shall
be provided.
