RadioRANGER

Underground Wireless Fault Indication System

The RadioRANGER solution reduces the need to access vaults to retrieve faulted circuit indicator (FCI) status, decreasing fault-locating time and improving utility personnel safety.

SEL fault indicators equipped with magnetic RadioRANGER Interface Probes communicate their status to an SEL-8300 RadioRANGER Wireless Interface. Utility personnel can quickly and safely retrieve subsurface FCI status, at street level, through wireless communication between the SEL-8300 and the handheld SEL-8310 RadioRANGER Remote Fault Reader. Two-way communications link prevents ambiguity by transmitting both faulted (tripped) and normal (reset) status information.

The IP68-rated SEL-8300 and waterproof interconnection system (rated to 15 feet of submersion) ensure environmental integrity for vault applications. Connect up to 12 SEL fault indicators equipped with magnetic RadioRANGER Interface Probes to the SEL-8300. The rugged SEL-8310 provides the ID of nearby SEL-8300 Wireless Interfaces as well as phase and way of the fault path. Maximize application efficiency using the modular and scalable system in a variety of vault configurations.

Reduced Fault-Finding Time—Minimize fault-finding time and troubleshooting crew size. Fault indicators communicate their status to the SEL-8300. Utility personnel can quickly retrieve fault status using the wireless communications link between the SEL-8300 and the SEL-8310. There is no need to enter vaults or open pad-mounted enclosures.

Metropolitan Areas, Airports, Universities, and Industrial Sites—Apply the RadioRANGER and SEL fault indicators to quickly locate faults. There is no need to open, enter, pump, or drain multiple vaults or utility access covers to determine fault indicator status. Troubleshooters use the information displayed on the remote fault reader to find the faulted cable section, in many cases without leaving the truck.

Safety—Reduce arc-flash risks to line crews by eliminating the need to open high-voltage enclosures or enter subsurface vaults during fault-finding patrols.

Challenging Terrain and Environment—Apply the RadioRANGER Wireless Fault Indication System to monitor pad-mounted structures in remote, difficult-to-access areas or when deep snow, challenging winds, or high temperatures create adverse conditions for line crews

Wind Farms and Solar Photovoltaic Plants—Bridge the distance to pad-mounted enclosures, and read the fault status from the road.

Details

Simple, street-level fault indicator status retrieval reduces the need for fault-finding crews to remove utility access covers and enter vaults.
Multiple IDs allow the crew to easily identify the vault, way, and phase on which the fault occurred.
IP68-rated SEL-8300 and waterproof interconnection system (rated to 15 feet submersion) ensure environmental integrity required for vault applications.
SEL-8310 displays SEL-8300 system health and fault indicator status.
Two-way communications link prevents ambiguity by transmitting both tripped and reset fault indicator information. Users can retrieve SEL-8300 and fault indicator status at any time.
