SEL-FT50 and SEL-FR12 System Now Certified for Use in EU Countries
The SEL-FT50 and SEL-FR12 Fault Transmitter and Receiver System uses wireless technology that must be certified by each country’s communications regulatory agency. With the recent certification in the European Union, SEL has added 28 certified countries for a total of 36. The list of certified countries now includes:
- United States
- Canada
- Mexico
- Colombia
- Brazil
- Peru
- Australia
- New Zealand
- 28 European Union countries
The SEL-FT50 and SEL-FR12 System consists of high-speed fault transmitters (SEL-FT50) and a wireless fault receiver (SEL-FR12). It is designed for use with an SEL recloser control or feeder relay to improve distribution system protection by supporting hybrid protection schemes, better managing underground-to-overheard transitions, and speeding up protection on unfused segments. Enhanced protection positively impacts reliability metrics, equipment life, system stability, and safety.
