Features
The salient features of SICAM EFI are mentioned as follows:
Power ON options
•
Self-sustained using internal Li-SOCl
•
Dual-powered using auxiliary (AC/DC) power supply
Safety
•
The device complies with the IEC 61010-1 safety standards
Simple
•
Supports easy device configuration using DIP switch based settings
Configurable and changeover type binary outputs
•
Configurable ground-fault binary output as latch/wipe type
•
Providing remote indications of ground fault and battery health via FRTU/RTU
Self-test diagnostic
•
Supports self-test locally using the push-button and remotely using the Low-Voltage Reset (LVR) contact.
Local indication
•
1 red LED and 1 red mechanical flag
•
1 green LED for AC/DC auxiliary power status
•
1 amber LED for battery health status
•
1 signal lamp output for local ground-fault indication
Multiple fault reset functionality
•
Remote reset/Low-voltage reset (LVR), push-button reset, AC/DC voltage reset via binary input, Auxiliary
AC recovery reset, ground current-based reset, auto reset using timer.
Extended battery life
•
Enhanced power management leading up to 2000 h of fault indication operation (single blink/second).
Ground-fault indication pattern
•
Simple blinking pattern for easier identification of fault current.
•
Single blink pattern: Fault current was present.
•
Double blink pattern: Fault current is still present.
Certifications
•
Complies with IEC 62689-1 standard for short circuit indicators.
•
Complies with IEC 61869-1, 61869-2, 61869-10 standard for sensors.
Sensors
•
Split core sensors with easy locking mechanism. Retrofit on three-core/single-core cable along with
3.5 m, 5 m, and 16 m wire length. The sensor wire length options are MLFB-specific, refer 2.5 Ordering
Information (MLFB Details) for more information.
Built-In Restraints
•
Avoids false fault detection due to ground-current inrush and auto-reclosure operations.
