Wega Rail Series
Integrated voltage detecting systems in accordance with IEC 62271-213 for determining the absence of voltage in railroad networks
The devices in the Wega Rail series are integrated voltage testing systems. The device is used to determine and display the operating status of medium-voltage switchgear for 1-phase and 2-phase traction current systems in accordance with VDE 0105 Part 1 and 100.
All four devices in the Wega Rail series comply with the requirements for voltage detection and indication systems (VDIS) in accordance with IEC 62271-213. The voltage detection systems are capacitively coupled to live parts. These devices combine state-of-the-art technology with proven quality to meet the requirements of the railroad industry.
Wega 1 R1Single-phase voltage detecting system with display.
Wega 1 R2Two-phase voltage detecting system with display.
Wega 2 R1Single-phase voltage detecting system with display and remote indication.
Wega 2 R2Two-phase voltage detecting system with display and remote signaling.
The following medium voltage conditions are displayed:
| Voltage present | Switch-on threshold of the voltage display: 17 – 78 % x Un. Installation note: When operating the system with nominal voltage, the voltage signal is too low. This is usually caused by an excessively large balancing capacitor or by operating the switchgear at a lower nominal voltage than originally intended. |
| Voltage present and integrated Maintenance test passed | The current flowing through the display unit meets the current monitoring requirements of IEC 61243-5 and IEC 62271-213. A maintenance test is not necessary due to the continuous monitoring. |
| Voltage present and integrated Maintenance test passed, but voltage signal too high | Installation note: Voltage signal too high. The cause is usually the selected adjustment capacitor which is too small, an earth fault or the operation of the switchgear at a nominal voltage that is higher than originally envisaged. |
| Voltage not present | When all poles of the system are switched off, all symbols are switched off. Voltage present <17 % x Un. |
The display test function built into the front of the Wega Rail series enables the display to be tested when installed and de-energized. Shielded or unshielded cables with compact plugs (AMP) can be connected to the fault direction indicator.
