Troubleshooting FCI (Power Delivery Products Inc.) Pros Quick hot stick install Local LED indication Self adjusting Replaceable battery Low battery indication 20 year shelf life Cons No AE asset tracking Non communicating
FLISR (Fault Location, Isolation and Service Restoration) AE in early stages of FLISR pilot Currently leveraging fault indicating capabilities in existing IEDs (electronic reclosures, remote airswitches) Deciding between stand-alone communicating FI and an all-in-one smart line sensor Plan to add FCI in key areas Integration with ADMS Communication issues (AMI mesh network, cellular, other)
