1.1 Intended Use
The transducers in the P45000 product line measure voltages on rail vehicles as well as in rail infra-
structure and industrial systems.
The P45000 may only be mounted on rolling stock in closed electrical operating areas at installation
location 1 according to EN 50155 appendix C. If the P45000 is mounted on the interior of rail vehicles,
it must be mounted in closed and fireproof control cabinets.
The input may be connected directly to primary circuits (high potential). All definitions and specifica-
tions in the technical data must be observed.
The input signal is received by the P45000, processed, galvanically isolated, and output as a floating,
proportional analog signal.
For further processing, the output signal is fed into a controller, a protection device, an indicator, or a
data acquisition system.
Fields of application
