Sigma plus

Short-circuit and earth fault indicator for retrofit

This device is ready for retrofit: Change or replace old indicators with the Sigma plus without replacing current transformers already existing in the switchgear.

The Sigma plus features a selection switch which is used to adapt the device to all current transformers.

Equipment set includes:

  • 1 display unit
  • Retrofit solution for old devices without replacing existing current transformers
  • Can be adjusted to all common Horstmann current transformers
  • Indication by high-intensity LEDs with a viewing angle of 180 degrees
  • Load-dependent self-adjustment or fixed setting
  • Single and double flash mode for operation in radial and ring networks

Your advantages

  • Quick and easy upgrade of the switchgear
  • Only replacement of the indicator necessary
