BO-A 2.0
Voltage detector for railway overhead contact lines
The BO-A 2.0 is a voltage detector for medium voltage railway overhead contact lines. It is designed to detect the absence or presence of voltage during maintenance work, for example. The voltage detector BO-A 2.0 is developed for 16.7 Hz, 50 Hz, and 60 Hz networks. If the voltage detector BO-A 2.0 is used in a network with a deviating frequency, a visual and audible signal is activated. In this case, the network situation must be verified. The BO-A 2.0 is designed according to IEC 61243-1 resp. VDE 0681-6,
depending on the version. The voltage detector is ready for the worldwide market.
According to the German accident prevention standard DGUV Regulation 3 (Table 1c), the device is subject to maintenance tests with minimum intervals of at least 6 years.
