Abstract
Faulted circuit indicators were introduced in Germany in 1946. Since that time FCIs have been used to locate problems on medium voltage electrical distribution circuits throughout the world. This paper will follow the evolution of FCIs and their increased necessity on circuits to improve reliability and reduce operating expense.
