BO-A AC/DC
Voltage detector for overhead lines of electric railways
The BO-A AC/DC mobile voltage detector is used to determine the absence of voltage on overhead lines. It recognises dangerous DC and AC residual voltages and thus increases user safety. The BO-A AC/DC is a two-pole voltage tester for overhead lines on trams and electric buses, for example. If the BO-A AC/DC is applied to a live conductor, an optical and acoustic signal is activated. A DC or AC voltage network is automatically recognised and indicated.
The BO-A AC/DC is designed and tested in accordance with the IEC 61243-1, -2 and DIN VDE 0681-6 standards. It can therefore be used worldwide. The device is subject to the periodic test prescribed every 6 years in accordance with DGUV Regulation 3 (Table 1c).
