Connection Diagrams
This chapter describes the various possibilities to connect the device to the medium-voltage system.
Fault Passage Indicator
The device can be used as a dedicated Fault Passage Indicator (FPI) by using only the 3 current inputs. No
directional fault information is provided in this scheme.

NOTE
In this connection scheme, the accuracy of ground-current measurements cannot be guaranteed for
isolated/resonant ground connection.
Ground-Fault Indicator
The device can be used as a dedicated ground-fault indicator by using the ground-current sensor. The
following scheme shows how the device works as a non-directional ground-fault indicator (50 G).

Fault Detector
The device can be used as a fault detector by providing fault information with directional information. This
requires an additional low-power voltage transformer of 3.25/√3 V or 100/√3 V sensors in the medium-voltage
system or a direct connection to 230 V or when it is connected in the VDS.
For more information about VDS, see chapter 4.1.32 Voltage Measurement via Integrated Voltage-Detecting
Systems.
