Efficient fault management is essential for maintaining reliable power networks, yet locating faults on overhead lines has traditionally required control rooms, complex IT systems and time-consuming line patrols. Electrification X – Overhead Line Fault Management streamlines this process by sending fault information, including precise fault location, directly to maintenance crews. This eliminates manual patrols, speeds power restoration and reduces operational effort. Because it runs as a cloud-based service, it requires no investment-intensive IT/OT infrastructure and works even without a control room. The result is faster response times, lower maintenance costs and a more resilient medium-voltage network for utilities facing rising reliability demands.
Localize faults without a control room or complex IT/OT systems. Maintenance teams receive cloud-based fault information directly on mobile devices, enabling fast, efficient response in the field.
Rugged components offer long service life, and you can quickly replace if damaged. The cloud-based system operates independently, reducing ongoing maintenance demands.
The Siemens cloud securely stores all data, allowing teams to view fault locations and status from smartphones or tablets, no matter where they are.
Electrification X – Overhead Line Fault Management includes a pre-parameterized gateway and three pre-configured FPIs that automatically register in the cloud via mobile communication, enabling rapid field installation.
FPIs and the gateway are recognized automatically through secure near-field communication. Installers scan a QR code, enter basic line details, and each device is instantly mapped in the Siemens cloud.
Swap fault indicators in minutes. Scanning the old and new QR codes updates the serial number in the Siemens cloud, allowing seamless continuity without reconfiguring the system.
