Voltage Indicators (VINs) are typically installed in transformers, switchgear and other underground distribution enclosures. They are easily installed on the test point of a 200 A elbow or a 600 A T-body. VINs are line-powered and indicate the presence of voltage at or above 2 kV phase-to-ground by flashing a brilliant neon lamp. The initial flash occurs 30 seconds after installation and the flash rate is proportional to the voltage present: the higher the voltage level, the faster the flash rate.
The VINs circuitry is epoxy-encapsulated and housed within an EPDM rubber boot making the VIN suitable for application in underground environments. VINs are a quick and economical way to add voltage detection to undergound systems.
- Indicates the presence of system voltage to ensure safety.
- Flashing neon bulb indicates voltage is present. Faster flash rate indicates higher voltage.
- Install in pad-mounted transformers, switchgear, and other underground distribution enclosures with basic insulating plugs or capacitive test points.
- Applicable on most brands of test point elbows. Both 200 A and 600 A models available.
- Compact, lightweight, and durable design makes the voltage indicator easy to install.
- Three-phase version also available. Please consult SEL.
