Faulted Circuit Indicator Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Type (Overhead Line Fault Indicator, Cable Fault indicator, Panel Fault Indicator, Others), By Application (Earth Fault Indicator, Short Circuit Indicator, Short Circuit and Earth Fault Indicator) and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Electricity is an essential requirement for mankind. The demand for electricity will keep rising worldwide as the standard of living improves and population increases. The power consumption per capita will increase in the coming fifty years. Reliable and stable supply of electricity is key to the overall growth of all countries. Faulted circuit indicator is one of the crucial and widely used components in power transmission and distribution.

The faulted circuit indicator provides visual or remote indication of faults in electric power systems. In power distribution networks, faulted electric indicators are used to automatically detecting faults and reducing outage time for the consumers. Typically, the faulted circuit indicator measures an electric or magnetic field around the conductor to detect faults. Modern faulted circuit indicator may also use different mechanisms for fault detection. Faulted circuit indicator is used in conjunction with current transformer, load break switch, circuit breaker, etc. Faulted circuit indicator causes a state change on mechanical target flag, LED, remote indication system, etc. Faulted are used on IoT-based platforms to develop smart grids.   

On the basis of type, the faulted circuit indicator can be divided into overhead line fault indicator, cable fault indicator, panel fault indicator, and others. On the basis of application, faulted circuit indicator market is segmented as earth fault indicator, short circuit indicator, short circuit, and earth fault indicator. Few plasma-based machines use current up to 10000 Amperes and require fault circuit indicators to avoid potential accidents and hazards. Industrial and manufacturing units also use faulted circuit indicators.
