SmartFCI™
Brand: Aclara
Used on its own or in conjunction with Aclara’s line of Grid Monitoring smart line sensors, Aclara’s SmartFCI™ is a simple, yet extremely powerful fault indicator designed for use on a wide range of circuit locations. Aclara's SmartFCI™ is easy to install in minutes by a single lineman with a hotstick. With a single model that is remotely configurable, there is no need to order and stock multiple models based on different fault trigger or reset parameters. The line-mounted, battery-powered, self-contained all-in-one device avoids the need for pole mounted equipment or provisioning secondary power. With a factory configured integrated radio, there is no need to dispatch networking engineers to configure devices. Critical fault alarms and load profile data can be reported directly to SCADA using DNP3 or to Aclara’s purpose-built Sensor Management System (SMS) software for rich visibility of network conditions.
Expertise You Can Trust. Built using the extensive knowledge of Hubbell and Aclara engineering teams, SmartFCITM sensors are installed on overhead electric distribution infrastructure.
