Voltage limiting device class 1

Voltage limiting device class 1 with remote indication of status

  • Voltage limiting device for railways (type VLD-F) according EN 50526-2 for fast protection of personnel, passengers and equipment even during OCL failure
  • Integrated patented VLD-status sensor with remote wireless status signalling for early VLD failure warning
  • Stray current (infrastructure corrosion) minimizing through early detection and replacement of damaged VLD
  • Ultra-low power consumption of electronics (> 10 years battery lifetime) when status transmitted once a day = no external power supply needed
  • No more expensive physical check needed (= OPEX savings)
  • For both DC and AC traction systems equipotential bonding in case of break, short-circuit or earth fault of OCL
  • Lightning surge protector integrated
