Introduction: There are a number of variants of the FE control system. These variants are fitted to FE2 300kV, FE2 400kV, FEX2 400kV, MFE2 400kV and MFEX2 400kV. Each of these circuit breakers is different in design and application. It is therefore necessary to develop a replacement for each version prior to embarking on a large volume replacement programme.

Objectives: Develop FE Control System replacement control system solutions.
