ComPass B

Short-circuit and earth fault direction indicator

The ComPass B is a combined short-circuit and earth fault direction indicator for medium-voltage networks. The measuring voltage is tapped via the integrated Wega 1, Wega 2 or Wega 1 V or Wega 2 V voltage test system. Alternatively, tapping is possible via HR interfaces or probes with capacitive decoupling (measuring lead set).
