Polaris
The Polaris performs a continuous monitoring of parallel connecting cables in 2 x 25 kV railway systems, which typically carry the return current. If the connection of one of these cables deteriorates, it will be detected and selectivelydisplayed. In addition, any undesired increase of the earth potential is detected and displayed.
The above events are remotely reported to the control room. This enables the railway asset management to send the service team to the point of failure in a targeted manner.
Equipment set includes:
- 1 display unit
- 2 – 6 single-phase current sensors
- Monitoring of lines in the reverse current system of electrical railway supply
- Monitoring the earth potential
- Relay for remote signal
