SECTIONALISER (SN)
OVERHEAD NETWORKS
Isolate the Fault.
Protect the Healthy Network.
We have designed the Sectionalizer for reliable field operation on Indian distribution networks, providing a critical layer of fault isolation that minimises the extent of consumer interruption during persistent fault events. It works in coordination with an upstream Auto-Recloser or circuit breaker to isolate a faulty section of a distribution feeder, allowing supply to be restored to all unaffected sections without requiring manual intervention.

How It Works?







Monitor
Counts Fault Current Pulses During Open Periods
Detect
Permanent Fault Confirmed After Recloser Trips
Count
Accumulates Trip Cycles (typically 2-3 counts)
Open
Automatic Isolation of Faulted Section
Lock
Latched Open Position Prevents Reclosure
Notify
Status Indication Sent to SCADA for Crew Dispatch
Types of Sectionaliser
SF-6 (11kV & 33kV)
