Fast, precise fault location on your overhead lines

OVERHEAD LINE INDICATOR

Discover the technology that minimizes downtime and makes optimum use of resources.

Overhead line indicators - your guide to grid faults

In modern energy supply, every minute counts. Overhead line networks are naturally susceptible to disruptions – be it due to weather, vegetation or technical defects. These outages not only cost valuable time and resources, but also jeopardize your supply reliability. Horstmann’s overhead line indicators, leading the way with the Smart Navigator 2.0, revolutionize fault location in your overhead line network.

Our products at a glance

Overhead line indicator WITH remote signaling

The new generation of intelligent overhead line indicators with integrated remote signaling function optimizes grid monitoring to the maximum. In the event of faults, error messages are automatically transmitted to your network control center in real time. This enables an immediate response and targeted fault clearance without time-consuming inspection trips. The combination of precise fault location and automatic notification drastically reduces downtimes and optimizes your personnel deployment. In conjunction with the associated software, you also receive detailed analyses for forward-looking network planning.

Overhead line indicator WITHOUT remote indication

Our robust overhead line indicators without remote signaling function offer a cost-effective solution for reliable fault location in your overhead line network. The highly visible optical display enables maintenance personnel to quickly identify the fault location on site. Thanks to their maintenance-free design and long battery life, they are particularly suitable for use in rural networks with a low frequency of faults. The easy installation and maintenance-free operation make these indicators an economical choice for basic network monitoring.
