VLD class 4 (PVL)

PVL-1000-045-R01-O

Order number: A07131

Voltage limiting device class 4 type O+F

  • limits impermissible touch voltage at conductive parts of railways infrastructure (DC or AC)
  • creates temporary short-circuit between return current path (rail) and earthed metallic parts of infrastructure to limit touch voltage
  • very high repeatable current load allows application at any part of the railway(substations, passenger stations, workshops, …)
  • protects passengers that might enter into contact with the parts affected
  • eliminates high pulse overvoltage induced into the traction system by a lightning strike
  • programmable current disconnection for stray current reduction
  • possible integration into SCADA or IoT systems
