Incomparable protection against Unrivalled compactness
magnetic fields

VS sensors are conceived, designed and renowned for their un-
rivalled immunity to ambient magnetic fields. Although they are in
continuous proximity of powerful currents capable of distorting 46 mm

is rock-solid and once set to measure a particular voltage, that is
what they measure – that and nothing else.

everything is inside to leave as much room as possible outside.

Environment-friendly

ABB have long been concerned with the protection of the en-
vironment, as proved by the ISO 14001 certification they re-
ceived in 1998. This environmental approach is particularly no-
ticeable in production of the VS range in the reduction of the
number of components, in the use of a low-energy manufactur-
ing procedure and the use of recyclable packing.
The products in use are also characterized by their reduced
energy consumption.
