Railway current sensors NCS range
Electronic technology for infrastructure only

Designed to be integrated into every
situation

The NCS sensor is entirely symmetrical. Its square shape and
strategically positioned oblong holes make it easy to fasten
in a choice of 2 positions. As an accessory it comes with a
165 mm 125 mm side plate that can be fastened on either side of the sensor
3 giving complete fitting flexibility. It meets the standard design
of ABB current sensors. It can be fitted both horizontally and
vertically. This flexibility means that NCS sensors can be fitted in
any position and simplifies the work of integrators. Additionally
the pair of right angle brackets allows the NCS sensor to be
fitted to one or several bars at the same time.

100% electronic

The main advantage of the NCS range of sensors is that they are
designed using a brand-new solution: 100% electronic technology.
Unlike other currently available solutions such as shunts and CTs,
this approach means that these sensors are very compact.
Several patents were necessary to achieve this improvement.

Considerable energy savings

NCS sensors offer considerable savings in energy. Indeed only
a few watts are required to power the NCS sensor in contrast
to traditional sensors that require several hundred watts.
This reduction in wasted energy means there is no rise in tem-
