Description

The Sigma D⁺is a combined directional short-circuit and directional earth fault indicator for medium voltage distribution networks.

The devices are current sensor powered. The voltage information will be taken from an integrated voltage detecting system (Wega series), from an HR interface or capacitive post insulators.

The Sigma D⁺ provides additional earth fault detection methods for compensated and isolated neutral networks.

For the transient earth fault method with the Sigma D⁺ summation current sensor is mandatory, auxiliary supply is optional.

Equipment set includes:

1 display unit
3 phase current sensors
1 summation current sensor (required for transient method)
Voltage coupling
