Voltage Detectors 1500V DC 3000V DC

Voltage Detectors

Pfisterer KP-Test 5R DC is a double-pole voltage detector designed for use on catenary systems of DC voltage railways. The voltage detector presents the operating voltage when brought into contact with the conductor.

The KP-Test 5R DC ensures maximum user safety thanks to its extensive and integrated self-tests.

Other versions of the voltage detector for rail power systems with deviating voltages, ranges of nominal voltages, frequencies and languages are available on request.

Technical Specification

• Double-pole type for the catenary systems of d.c. voltage railways with nominal voltages from 500 to 4,000 V DC
• Second pole designed for handy magnetic connection to rail
• Hook-type contact electrode with high-quality contact pin for optimum contact
• Self-test at switch-on also checks the connecting cable
• Can be used during precipitation
• Integrated audible signal for reliable voltage tests even in noisy ambient conditions
• Extremely strong LEDs in clear layout to prevent confusion
• Induced a.c. voltage signal detection
• Voltage testing possible even with a high proportion of leakage current on disconnected contact wires
• Available separately without insulating pole
• Available separately without insulating pole, but with additional adapter
• Available complete with three-piece insulating pole (poles RP1 and UP; total length about 5,000 mm), or five-piece insulating pole (poles RP2, RP3, RP4 and UP; total length about 4,880 mm)
• Available with convenient carrying case

♦ When using voltage detectors to establish presence of operating voltages on MV-HV power cables or overhead lines there may be a requirement to apply field equipment earths, portable earthing, to equipment which is working adjacent to Live conductors to discharge any induced voltages.
