Fault indicator (FI)

Our integrated circuits and reference designs help create fault indicators for overhead and underground power lines that reduce the time needed to localize the fault in medium- and low-voltage transmission lines

Design requirements

Next-generation fault indicators often require:

• Power-optimized architectures for fault data capture and power quality analysis.
• Energy harvesting at low-current levels and optimized battery management.
• Low-power RF connectivity with minimal latency to transfer faults to a data collector.
