VLD class 2.2 (BVL)

BVL-50-120-R02

Order number: A06712

voltage limiting device, VLD of class 2.2, type VLD-O+F, limiting of occurrence non-permissible touch voltages, equalizing of the earth potential and limiting of overvoltage of a railway system AC and DC, surge protective device SPD of type 1+2

  • limits non-permissible high touch voltages on non-live metal parts of a railway equipment in AC and DC railway system
  • establishes temporary connection between the return circuit and the earth of the railway electric traction system, during the permissible value of voltage is exceeded
  • equalizes the earth potential between the return circuit and the earth surrounding an electric and an electronics equipment and prevents their damage
  • limits touch voltage and protects persons that might enter into contact with the parts affected
  • eliminates high impulse overvoltages induced into the railway electric traction system or the railway equipment by a lightning strike
