Proper Use
The equipment (device, module) may be used only for such applications as set out in the catalogs and the
technical description, and only in combination with third-party equipment recommended and approved by
Siemens.
Problem-free and safe operation of the product depends on the following:
•Proper transport
•Proper storage, setup and installation
•Proper operation and maintenance
When electrical equipment is operated, hazardous voltages are inevitably present in certain parts. If proper
action is not taken, death, severe injury or property damage can result:
•The equipment must be grounded at the grounding terminal before any connections are made.
•All circuit components connected to the power supply may be subject to dangerous voltage.
•Hazardous voltages may be present in equipment even after the supply voltage has been disconnected
(capacitors can still be charged).
•Operation of equipment with exposed current-transformer circuits is prohibited. Before disconnecting the
equipment, ensure that the current-transformer circuits are short-circuited.
•The limiting values stated in the document must not be exceeded. This must also be considered during
testing and commissioning.

Overview
Device Description
SICAM Fault Passage Indicator (FPI) is a device that is used for detection and signalling of phase-fault (short
circuit) and ground-fault on medium-voltage cable networks.
SICAM FPI is available in several variants. The combined phase-fault (short circuit) and ground-fault variant
consists of 4 external current sensors to detect the phase faults (L1, L2, L3) and ground-fault (E). The current
sensors detect phase-fault and ground-fault current based on the set current threshold and send an optical
signal to SICAM FPI.
By using the rotary switch available on the individual sensor, you can set the fault-current threshold for phase
sensors from 200 A to 1200 A (Type 1 Series), 200 A to 800 A (Type 2 Series) and for ground sensor from 10 A
to 100 A (Type 1 Series), 40 A to 300 A (Type 2 Series). When the current exceeds the set threshold level, the
current sensor detects the fault threshold and indicates the status to SICAM FPI. In this condition, the corre-
sponding LEDs blink.
SICAM FPI is used as a fault detection and indication unit. SICAM FPI is used in the feeder and distribution
automation of secondary medium-voltage systems that ranges from typically 10 kV to 36 kV.
Figure 2-1 represents the 6MD2310-0AX00-0AA0 (X represents the type of sensors) variant of SICAM FPI and
the block diagram varies for other variants.
In this manual, SICAM FPI is also referred as Device.

Hardware Components
The device consists of the following hardware components:
•Optical Inputs/Sensors - The device consists of 3 optical sensors for phase faults L1, L2, L3, and 1 optical
sensor for ground-fault E. The sensor detects the fault current and indicates the status to the device via a
plastic fibre-optic cable.
•LED Indicators - The device consists of 4 LED indicators for indicating the phase faults L1, L2, L3, and
ground-fault E in red color. The status of the battery health is indicated in yellow color. In normal opera-
tion, all the LEDs are in OFF state.
•Binary Output - The combined phase-fault (short circuit) and ground-fault variant consists of 1 or 2
binary outputs for indicating the phase-fault and ground-fault status. The binary output is connected to
an RTU to indicate the fault status to a remote monitoring station (SCADA). The binary output 1 operates
when the fault is detected in any of the phases L1, L2, L3. The binary output 2 operates when the fault is
detected in the ground E. The version with 1 binary output indicates each type of fault.
•DIP Switch - The DIP switch is used for configuring the response time, auto reset time, and other
settings. For more information about DIP switch, refer to 4.1.3 DIP Switch .
•Reset Inputs - Reset inputs are used for resetting the device via push button, remote reset, or 230 V AC
reset. Refer to 4.1.5 Device Reset .
•Blinking Lamp Output - If necessary, the blinking lamp output is connected to an external indicator to
indicate phase-fault or ground-fault outside the ring main unit.
•Push Button - Push button is used for resetting the device manually (RST) and for executing the function
check (FN.CHK) and battery check (BATT.CHK).
