Area of Application

Voltage Detection System ( VDS )

The voltage detection system ( VDS ) is used in medium voltage switchgears. The detection system is standardized according to IEC 61243 (VDE 0682 part 415 ). These systems are used to detect the voltage situation and to compare the phases in medium voltage switchgears with HR-System.

General description

The voltage detection system with a panel-mounted reading instrument consists of 4 elements: 1. capacitive insulator / lead-in with capacitive pick-up 2. connection cables 3. capacitive voltage ledge 4. reading instrument Figure 1 shows how the components interact. 1 live part of the switchgear 2 test-system 3 coupling 4 voltage indicator 5 coupling dielectric 6 coupling electrode 7 terminal of the couplingelectrode 8 ports with sockets 9 connection cables 10 seperation point (voltage-limiting) 11 measuring circuit component 12 strew capacitance figure 1 15 short circuit device (optional ) The coupling electrode (6) capacitively picks up the voltage, which is then transmitted to the measuring point (8). Overvoltage arresters (10) are installed to protect the system. A balancing capacitor (11) limits the voltage respectively the current at the measuring point.

Technical Description
1) Capacitive Insulator The capacitive insulator serves as a voltage detector in a Voltage Detection System. Together with the balancing capacitor, the capacitive insulator constitutes a capacitative voltage divider. The capacitive insulator is designed in a similar way as the common insulators. Both types are exchangeable. rated voltage 10 kV order-No. 38.10.01 rated voltage 20 kV order-No. 38.11.01

2) Connecting Cables The connection cable between the insulator and the capacitive voltage ledge is a screened cable. The screened cable is connected to the insulator with a M6 screw terminal and to the capacitive voltage ledge with a flat plug 6.3 x 0.8 mm. The screen of the cable is earthed. cable length: 3000 mm cable length: 6000 mm order-No: 38.06.01-...* order-No: 38.06.02-...*

3) Capacitve voltage ledge The capacitve voltage ledges are manufactured according to the conditions of IEC 61243-5 (VDE0682 part 415). There are two versions available. a) Capacitive voltage ledge type KSO This ledge consists of a housing with 3 measuring points for conductor 1, 2 and 3. This ledge is equipped with the complete measuring circuit. A plug-in reading instrument indicates the voltage. b) Capacitive voltage ledge type KSG Additionally to 3 measuring points, 3 voltage indicators are installed into this ledge. In case there is no need for voltage indication, the measuring points are earthed through a short circuit plug. The ledge consists of a plug-in housing with the dimension (W*H*D) 124*32*23 mm. The panel cut-out has to be designed according to sheet 38.0530.01. The housing is fixed with two screws on the front side of the housing.

4) Plug-In Voltage Indicator To detect the voltage situation of each core, the voltage indicator is plugged into the appropriate measuring socket of the ledge. Existing voltage is indicated through a flashing glowlamp. The voltage indicator works without any power supply.
