BTRI_IR fault indicators are typically installed on overhead taps, near underground transitions, at overhead midfeeder disconnects, and near unfused taps or riser poles. The BTRI_IR is immediately operational upon installation and requires no line energy to respond to an overcurrent event. The BTRI_IR's 1ms response time and true timed reset flash clearing make it especially useful for locating temporary faults. Trip values are factory-set to your specification. Specify an LED flash clearing time that best coordinates with line-crew response times.

The BTRI_IR's replaceable battery provides 1200 typical flash hours. A non-replaceable battery version is available which requires no maintenance and provides 3000 typical flash hours. Manually test activate or clear a flashing LED using the CRSRTT tool (sold separately). Single hot stick installation and a superbright LED display make the BTRI_IR a smart choice.

  • Applicable on overhead taps, overhead-to-underground transitions, and at overhead midfeeder disconnects.
  • No minimum load current necessary for reset.
  • Permanently installed high-capacity lithium battery provides an average of 3000 flashing hours (1200 for models with a replaceable battery).
  • Time delay between system restoration and reset makes the BTRI_IR a good choice for troubleshooting temporary faults.
  • Inrush restraint feature allows coordinated integration with automatic reclosing schemes, preventing false tripping.
