SICAM FCM plus | Siemens

Why SICAM FCM plus?

SICAM FCM plus is a short-circuit and earth fault indicator for medium-voltage cable grids, compatible with SIBushing integrated sensors. Monitor grid conditions and gain transparency for resonant, compensated, isolated and solidly grounded neutral point systems from 6.6 kV to 36 kV.

Renewable energy integration challenges stable power supply and causes unplanned outages. SICAM FCM plus solves this issue with precise, fast fault localization through directional and non-directional short-circuit and ground-fault monitoring. Restore service rapidly, minimize downtime and enhance grid resilience.

Reduce installation costs with easy RJ45 plug connections for SIBushing sensors. The device provides precise temperature compensation to eliminate recalibration and maintenance. Access real-time measured values via the RS485 MODBUS RTU interface for improved operational management.

Key benefits

Reduce installation costs

Minimize installation expenses with easy setup using RJ45 plug connections for SI bushing sensors. Simplify deployment, allocate resources to critical tasks and optimize project budgets.

Localize faults precisely

Localize faults quickly to save costs. Selective fault information with direction indication enables “self-healing” applications.

Optimize grid performance

Achieve transparency in your medium-voltage cable grid with up-to-date measured values for operational management. Use this data to evaluate your distribution network and make informed decisions.

FEATURED CAPABILITIES

Features & functions

Accurate fault detection

Detect short-circuit and earth faults in diverse medium-voltage grid systems. Cover resonant, compensated, isolated and solidly grounded neutral points, with nominal voltage ranges from 6.6 kV to 36 kV.

Adaptive algorithm

Capture IEC 61869-10/11 compliant values with Rogowski sensors and capacitive dividers. The adaptive algorithm compensates temperature to avoid recalibration and aligning primary quantities accurately.

SIBushing sensors and Modbus RTU integration

Integrate SIBushing current and voltage sensors into medium voltage switchgear bushings. Sensors funnel data to RJ45 sockets. An integrated RS485 MODBUS RTU interface provides real-time values for distribution network evaluation.
