Feeder Terminal Unit (FTU)

The FTU is a switch monitoring unit installed next to the feeder switch. These feeder switches refer to outdoor pole switches, such as circuit breakers, load switches, sectional switches, etc. on 10kV lines. Generally speaking, one FTU is required to be able to monitor one on-column switch. The main reason is that most of the on-column switches are scattered and installed. If the same pole is erected, one FTU can monitor two on-column switches.

FTU Features:

FTU adopts advanced DSP digital signal processing technology, multi-CPU integration technology, high-speed industrial network communication technology, and adopts embedded real-time multi-task operating system, which has strong stability, high reliability, good real-time performance, and wide adaptability to the environment, and powerful functions. It is a new generation of feeder automation remote terminal devices integrating telemetry, remote signaling, remote control, protection, and communication functions. It is suitable for automation engineering of urban, rural, and enterprise distribution networks, and completes the monitoring, control, and protection of ring network cabinets and pole switches, as well as automation functions such as communication. Cooperate with the distribution substation and the main station to realize the normal monitoring and fault identification, isolation, and power restoration of the non-faulty section of the distribution line
