SICAM Fault Sensor Indicator (FSI) V2.0 B-Sensor
Description
SICAM Fault Sensor Indicator (FSI) V2.0 B-Sensor is developed using the latest hardware technology and is a
member of the Siemens SICAM short-circuit indicator product family.
The device is used to improve the reliability and to reduce the downtime on the MV overhead distribution grid.
The device is mounted on the MV overhead line network where it measures the phase current continuously
and detects the phase and ground overcurrent faults. The device indicates both the temporary and perma-
nent overcurrent faults via optical indication (LED flashing). The device can be mounted in junction points/
branching points and areas of frequent fault.
Applications
•This device is suitable for outdoor applications on MV overhead line.
•Supports application on solidly grounded or resistive star-point grounded systems.
•The device is to be configured in close coordination with the protection systems in the MV network. This
results in improved fault detection and localization.
•The device can be mounted in groups of 3, one device on each phase.
•The device uses a specific LED flashing pattern to help identify faults easily, indicating whether they are
temporary or permanent.

Features and Benefits
Features
The salient features of the SICAM FSI V2.0 B-Sensor are:
Multiple settings available for fault detection
•Threshold settings, auto-threshold, and di/dt settings.
•The device offers various configurable options to detect overcurrent faults, including magnitude selec-
tion, auto-threshold selection, and monitoring the rate of change of current (di/dt). These adjustable
settings enable users to customize the parameters according to their specific requirements for accurate
identification and response to overcurrent events.
Auto threshold algorithm
•Self-adjustment of fault threshold based on phase current.
Inrush restraint
•Avoids false fault detection due to transformer magnetization during the voltage restoration on the MV
overhead line.
Auto reclosure restraint
•Blocks the redundant fault detection during the auto-reclosure retries which are made to restore the MV
overhead line.
Multiple fault indication reset functionalities
•Voltage restoration in MV overhead line, auto timer reset and magnetic reset
Self-Test
•Self-test by magnetic reset to verify the battery health of the device. The sucess/failure of self-test is
indicated by a specific LED flashing pattern.
Low temperature cutoff
•Built-in with an automatic cutoff feature disabling device functionality when the temperature falls below
-40°C.1
Benefits
Higher availability of overhead line networks
•Quick fault detection and localization, reduced downtime.
Ease of use
•The device is effortlessly powered ON/OFF for installation, storage and transportation using a single
switch activation.
•Providing user-friendliness, default auto-threshold function automatically decides threshold values based
on nominal current and helps to use the device to detect the fault with minimal configuration of
parameters.
Installation
•Supports installation on both insulated and non-insulated overhead lines
Simple configuration
•Easy configuration of device parameters using SICAM FSI Configurator (version 3.03 and above).

Safe mounting
•Safely mountable on the MV overhead line by using a hot stick with shotgun or hot stick (telescopic) with
device adaptor.
Long range fault indication visibility2
•Fault localization becomes easier with the device's 6 high luminous red LEDs, which offers visibility for:
– up to 400 m during the day and 800 m during night time for B-Sensor Type 2
– up to 100 m during the day and 500 m during night time for B-Sensor Type 1
Long battery life
•10 years of battery life, under standard operating conditions.
•Configurable blinking interval of LEDs for optimal battery life.
Maintenance free
•The device housing is weatherproof, UV stabilized, and flame retardant with an IP68 rating for durability.
Conformal coating
•The conformal coating on device electronic modules increases protection against harmful environmental
influences such as extreme moisture, corrosive gases and aggressive dust.
2The specified visibility range for the LED indications is based on clear weather conditions.
