Voltage Detectors

Pfisterer KP-Test 5R DC Dual is a double-pole voltage detector is similar in design to the KP-Test 5R DC for use on catenary systems of DC voltage railways. However in addition this voltage detector can be switched between two nominal voltage ranges in two steps. This allows a larger system range to be covered even when there is a high proportion of leakage current.

The KP-Test 5R DC dual has two selectable voltage steps.

Step 1:

• Voltage 50 V DC
• Selected by briefly pressing the On button
• LED indicator: 1 x green

Step 2:

• Voltage 1,500 V DC
• Selected by pressing and holding the On button
• LED indicator: 2 x green

The KP-Test 5R DC Dual ensures maximum user safety thanks to its extensive and integrated self-tests and displays safe, clear instructions.

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

♦ 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.
