The OK short-circuit indicator is a robust short-circuit indicator for radial networks and open ring networks in medium-voltage applications. Short-circuit events are displayed phase-selectively via bistable flip-flop indicators and are therefore clearly visible even without a power supply. The separable sensors allow for easy retrofitting. Operation is via a lithium battery or, optionally, via an external power supply. Depending on the version, a potential-free fiber optic connection or a wired sensor connection is available.
