T&R DFK5052 HVD Switchgear Kit
The T&R DFK5052 HVD Switchgear Kit is designed for carrying out “dead” checks on switchgear and is suitable for HVD Types rated up to 33kV. It helps personnel check switchgear for electrical discharge while maintaining the required approach to electrical safety. The kit can be used for both indoor and outdoor applications, including use in varying weather conditions.
A Special Capacitive Bent End Adapter forms a key part of the T&R DFK5052 HVD Switchgear Kit. This adapter limits the available current to less than 1.5mA, helping to enhance safety during use. The kit also includes probes and custom handles, with the supplied components stored together in a black carry bag for practical transport and storage.
The T&R DFK5052 HVD Switchgear Kit complies with IEC standard 61481. When an HVD Detector is used, its cone-shaped plastic mouldings contain a metallic screen coating that acts as a voltage divider, while the detector output drives indicating lamps and audible signals for clear indication. The HVD unit must be used with an approved handle of the appropriate length to maintain the necessary clearance distance for the system voltage; a High Voltage Detector and Proving Unit are not included with this kit.
