FAST Description

FAST-1 is a pocket size, safe device for phases sequence testing in 110-380 volt installations. FAST-1 opens a line a testing devises with additional advanced features.

FAST-1 prevents electrical shock and electrocution by providing clear indication of live circuits.

The Problem

There are some problems in electrical installations. Among them:

Mains voltage presence must be checked There is need to identify proper phase sequence There is need to detect missing wire phases, There is need to find open or blown phases, There is need to determine proper connections for

rotating machinery, There is need to detect live circuits

The Problem (cont.)FAST-1 Phase Sequence Indicator is used to determine the phase sequence (R-S-T or T-S-R) of three-phase voltages. (R-S-T is a clockwise rotation)  It is important that the phase sequence is known prior to energizing electrical motors and other equipment, as incorrect connection could cause damage to the equipment. FAST-1 ensures that the motor is not damaged by incorrect wiring.

The Solution

FAST-1 is a small electronic device that comes to replace big, expensive, unsafe devices with two or three probes. FAST-1 has a plastic body with only one non galvanic probe, therefore there is no danger of electrocution.

FAST-1 is an instrument for safely checking the presence of an AC voltage in cables, wall sockets, fuses, junction boxes, etc.No current flow is needed for correct operation. Voltage indication is provided by means of a bright red light signal. Phase’s indication is provided by means of three different color bright light signals.

FAST-1 is a battery powered device. It does not need an external power supply. FAST-1 has a clear indication of main voltage presence at the tip, of R-S-T (A-B-C) phases and also of battery discharge.

The next generation of this device will be equipped with a display and shall provide additional information like main frequency etc.

The FAST-1 functions:

The device shall be developed for: Voltage present testing. Phase sequence testing. Identical phase indication. Continuity testing.

First Implementation

FAST-1 is integrated in one small clever electronic device.

Marketing potential for Israeli market is more than US$ 3M annually

World marketing potential is more than US$450M Time to market: 8-12 months Feasibility of the FAST-1 was proved in the

inventor’s laboratory

Technology

This unique testing device is based on ultra high sensitive and fast detection and response.

The idea and the methods belong to the Inventor, Mr. Boris Fradkin

A patent search was performed, no such technology is available. A PCT patent was issued.

There are technological entry barriers for developing and manufacturing a product similar to the FAST-1

Technology Advantages

The FAST-1 is cost-effective, sensitive, selective and accurate.

The FAST-1 can be implemented in various electrical testers.

The FAST-1 can replace the existing two and three poles devices

The FAST-1 has the highest level of entry barriers.

Business Development
