An answer adapted
to market requirements

Guaranteeing optimum reliability, the VD Railway voltage
detector meets the requirements for difficult environments and
is adaptable to the most demanding applications such as:
– rolling stock: main converters, auxiliary converters. Based
on the SNCF CF60-100 specification, the whole French
railway market imposes the presence of a voltage detector
within built redundancy, to meet the drastic requirements of
this sector.
– electronic power systems integrating capacitors banks:

backups, wind generators, variable speed drives,
electrolysis require voltage detectors of robust design
and offer high reliability.

A considered and measured integrated

100% electronic
Thanks to a 100% electronic technology, ABB has reduced
the size of the VD Railway voltage sensor to a minimum. At the forefront of technological innovation at ABB, the VD Railway
The ultra-compact dimensions allow for simplified installation. voltage detector is 100% electronic. Other than the assurance of
Additionally, its self-sufficiency in energy means that it can providing unbeatable performance, it has reduced dimensions:
work without an external power supply. smaller and more compact, it offers greater installation flexibility.
Its 100% electronic technology also provides it with an
excellent immunity to surrounding magnetic fields: a guarantee
for accurate detection of a given voltage.

Double lifetime to avoid taking any risks

The VD Railway voltage detector is a voltage detection sys-
tem with built in redundancy. It is equipped with two electronic
circuits each connected to a light emitting diode (LED). These
two parallel and independent systems guarantee a high level of
functioning and improve the reliability of the detector.

Quality that goes beyond standards
