FR100 Fault Recorder Fault Analysis
FR100 Fault Recorder Fault Analysis  

Introduction

Weis is a specialist company with over 20 years of experience in the commissioning, testing & maintenance of switchgear and power network fault monitoring within the Power Utility Industry.

The Fault Recorder (FR100) is an essential substation preventative maintenance tool and aid for power utilities with ever increasing demands for more reliable low cost energy and on-time maintenance.

The high speed, high resolution recording and flexible triggering modes make the Weis Fault Recorder ideal for capturing power network faults / disturbances. It can be used for verifying protection / breaker operation as well as monitoring power quality.

The FR100 is typically part of an integrated monitoring network with multiple FR’s located within substations over a region, and a Windows™ based Master Evaluation Station normally located at the regional control centre running Weis Communication, Configuration and Analysis software. Communications between the Master Evaluation Station and the FR’s is normally by plug-in data modems using the local telephone exchange, but other networks can be supported.

An optional built in screen and external keyboard with trackball may be provided for local configuration and analysis.
