RHP-SCD Voltage Limiting Device
RVL Voltage Limiting Device
RVL voltage limiting devices limit the dangerous voltage that can be developed in railway networks to very low safe values. In fault cases such as accidental short-circuits with the contact lines, the RVL solution generates a durable conductive path between the overloaded area and the substation, resulting in increased current loads being sensed at the substation, allowing efficient tripping of safety circuit breakers.
- Fast response time
- Efficient elimination of dangerous overvoltage to very low safe voltage values
- Low residual voltage ensured by Strikesorb® surge protection technology
- Temperature-independent triggering voltage in a wide range
- Guaranteed recoverability for long-term currents and high short-circuit currents
- Combined protection for personnel, passengers, and equipment
- Unidirectional or bidirectional operation depending on the product version
