Product catalog summary
SICAM Short Circuit Indicator Overview
The document provides an overview of Siemens' SICAM short circuit indicators designed for efficient fault detection and indication in medium-voltage networks, applicable to both cable networks and overhead lines.
SICAM FCM (Feeder Condition Monitor)
  • Applicable in grounded, isolated, and compensated distribution systems.
  • Utilizes low-power sensors and high-quality measurement technology for high accuracy.
  • Offers a version for connection to capacitive voltage test systems and direct voltage measurement in low voltage networks.
  • Enables cost savings through precise and fast fault location.
SICAM FPI (Fault Passage Indicator)
  • Detects phase and earth faults in radial or open ring cable networks.
  • Self-sustaining with an integrated lithium battery, maintaining functionality without auxiliary voltage.
  • Complies with safety standard IEC 61010-1 and features noise-immune fiber-optic connections.
  • IP 67-compliant sensors.
SICAM FSI (Fault Sensor Indicator) for Overhead Lines
  • Detects and reports phase and earth faults in medium-voltage overhead line networks.
  • Easy installation using an insulating rod.
  • Uses ZigBee encrypted wireless network for communication with SICAM FCG.
  • Operating voltage ranges from 3.3 to 66 kV, with precise fault localization and remote firmware updates.
  • Maintenance-free for 10 years.
SICAM FCG (Fault Collector Gateway)
  • Powered by 12 V or 24 V with PV buffered battery.
  • Connects to control centers via IEC 60870-5-104 or DNP3 protocols.
  • Provides SMS service for fault messages and visualizes line faults using the XMPP protocol on smartphones.
  • Can manage up to 9 SICAM FSI devices in overhead line networks or 3 SICAM FPI devices in cable networks.

MV-Short circuit indicator For cable networks and overhead lines-1

MV-Short circuit indicator For cable networks and overhead lines SICAM short circuit indicator for cable networks The efficient operation of modern distribution grids requires being able to detect and locate faults quickly, packing them into messages and providing them for subsequent processing. With the SICAM short-circuit and earth fault indication systems, Siemens now offers devices suitable for fault detection and indication in mediumvoltage networks. SICAM FCM (Feeder Condition Monitor) • • Use of low-power sensors and high-quality measurement technology with high measuring accuracy Alternative: Version for connection to capacitive voltage test systems Direct voltage measurement in low voltage networks Usable in grounded, isolated and compensated distribution systems Cost savings thanks to precise and fast fault location SICAM FPI (Fault Passage Indicator) • • For the detection of phase- and earth faults in radial or open ring cable networks Does not require auxiliary voltage - self-sustaining, maintains its functionality thanks to the integrated lithium battery, even after the main supply is triggered Meets the safety standard IEC 61010-1 Isolated, plastic fiber-optic connections between sensors and SICAM FPI are noise immune

MV-Short circuit indicator For cable networks and overhead lines-2

SICAM Short circuit indicators for overhead lines The short-circuit and earth-fault monitoring system SICAM FSI (Fault Sensor Indicator) detects and reports phase faults and earth faults in the medium-voltage overhead line network. The mounting by means of an insert into the line by means of an insulating rod is very easy. The SICAM FSI uses the encrypted wireless network ZigBee to communicate with the SICAM FCG (max. reach 100 m). SICAM FSI (Fault Sensor Indicator) • Operating voltage: 3,3 to 66 kV • Precise fault localization for overhead lines • Fault indication by flashing light and indication...
