Clearly identify the voltage in each of MV switchgear bay makes a significant contribution to improve work safety!


In the typical MV switchgears voltage transformers (VT) are used for the voltage measurment. In practice there are many installations where, due to the switchgear size minimalization need, using of VT’s is very difficult and often impossible. The cost of VT’s also important, especially in simple switchgears.

The optimum solution for obtaining information about the presence of voltage in MV switchgear buys is using of voltage indicators operating with capacity insulators.
 

Energotest in this field offers a wide range of products suitable for different needs.

 

WNd — Compact version indicator
