    17. CAPACITIVE VOLTAGE INDICATORS Each module of switchgears is equipped with a capacitive voltage indicator in accordance with either IEC 61958 (VPIS) or IEC 61243-5 (VDS). 17.1 VOLTAGE INDICATORS VPIS VPIS indicators are used to indicate the presence of service medium voltage.

  • Page 35: Voltage Indicators Vds

    17.2 VOLTAGE INDICATORS VDS VDS is used to detect the presence or absence of medium voltage according to IEC 61243-5. The VDS are based on the HR system. The system consists of a fixed device, installed in the switchgear, coupled with a mobile device to visually detect the presence or absence of service voltage and phase balance and on which the indicator lights are installed.
