Overhead Fault Indicator - Install on Tree Wire

[saladhawks]

I am looking for any utility experience with installing overhead fault indicators on overhead primary tree wire. Overhead primary system is 4.36 kV, 4-wire and to date overhead fault indicators have only been installed on bare aluminum conductors.

Tree wire is single layer w/ polyethylene insulation (no strand shield). Vendor information indicates overhead fault indicators can be installed on unshielded / insulated (i.e. tree wire) applications.

schneider flite's are easy to mount (live) and are reliable. They work either by the effect of magnetic or electric field so i think that would work in your case.
