Capacitive Voltage Detecting System (VDS)

Voltage detector and detecting systems serve the examination of the state “voltage present” or “voltage not present”. Here are used according to DIN VDE 0682 part 415 and IEC 62271-213 high (HR) and low resistance (LRM) capacitive voltage detecting systems. These are used in MV switchgears, on electrical installations or jobs working under voltage.

The extensive VDS product range of Georg Jordan includes:

LRM devices for voltage indication, integrated systems,
without / with remote monitoring (KVDS, CAVIN, …)
Capacitive insulators or coupling electrodes (TSK …, KKE, …)
System accessories such as coaxial connection lines, contact cable (AK4), ……

KVDS – Capacitive voltage detecting system (LRM)
for medium voltage

System features:

Check absence of voltage – three phase – for medium voltage applications from 6 up to 52 kV (P-P)
Free of maintenance. The device performs a permanent online insulation measuring.
Inherent safety: To test for absence of voltage no external test device is required. Integrated display function test independent auxiliary voltage
No battery required: For voltage detecting and self test no external power supply or battery is required
Integrated continuous three phase voltage indication (LC-Display)
Design: integrated, for indoor use (IP 54)

Device generations or further developed versions:

2037264 – Version is no longer active, without display test, replaced by 2038829 (year 2005)
2038829 – version with display test (year 2015)
2043796 – current version, identical in construction to 2038829

CAVIN – Capacitive voltage detecting system (LRM)
for medium voltage (MV)

System features:

Check absence of voltage – three phase – for medium voltage applications from 6 up to 52 kV (P-P)
Additional relay contacts: For remote monitoring of voltage condition two relay contacts are integrated. The relays are driven by auxiliary voltage.
Free of maintenance. The device performs a permanent online insulation measuring. Inherent safety: To test for absence of voltage no external test device is required. Integrated display function test independent auxiliary voltage.
No battery required: For voltage detecting and self test no external power supply or battery is required.
Integrated continuous three phase voltage indication (LC-Display)
Additionally, two LEDs show the actual relay state.
Design: integrated, for indoor use (IP 54)
