Product information "IKI-55"

The IKI-55 Feeder Control Unit can be used in load switchgear for directional fault detection, load flow measurement, and control of load and ground switches. Likewise, a number of automation and monitoring functions are available with the IKI-55.

The IKI-55 is network-capable in its basic version and can communicate with the control station and other remote stations via various communication protocols. It can also be used as a Modbus master. The IKI-55 M is a Modbus-only variant.



The IKI-55 is designed for the connection of small-signal current transformers according to IEC 61869-10 as well as small-signal voltage transformers according to IEC 61869-11. In conjunction with a sensor adapter, conventional conversion transformers for current measurement as well as capacitive and precision dividers can be connected.

Fault detection

  • Directional ground short-circuit detection
  • Directional ground fault detection with static and transient fault detection
  • Ground fault detection via pulse locating
  • Suitable for all neutral point treatments
  • No summing transformer required
  • Fault recording with export as Comtrade file

Early fault detection

  • Fetection of transient faults (Intermittent ground faults)
  • In conjunction with a CAPDIS- S2_55 (R5): Detection of partial discharges and their frequency and trend

Load flow measurement

  • Voltages, currents, powers, frequencies, cos phi
  • Momentary and average values
  • Cross calibration (With additional adapter)
  • Phase comparison function for voltages (With additional adapter)

Comprehensive control and monitoring functions

  • Control of motor controllers for switching load and ground switches

Simple operation of the unit

  • Additional LEDs to indicate the fault direction
  • Self-explanatory operation via direction keys

Extended safety features

  • User roles safety concept, password protected
  • Remote firmware update via REST interface (deactivable)
  • USB interface deactivable

Communication protocols (Except IKI-50 M)

  • IEC 60870-5-104 for communication with control center
  • MQTT, REST for communication with databases or management systems
  • Modbus RTU (Master)

Communication protocols version IKI-55 M

  • Modbus RTU (Slave)

PT100 input for temperature compensation of sensors (Versions IKI-50 T..)

  • E.g. for Siemens SIBushing sensors

Power-Quality (Versions IKI-50 PQ..)

  • Monitoring of voltage quality according DIN EN 50160 (Frequency, voltage dips, voltage swells, voltage interruptions, rapid voltage changes)
