Working with products
from Megger
It is important to observe the general electrical regulations of the country in which the
device will be installed and operated, as well as the current national accident prevention
regulations and internal company rules (work, operating and safety regulations).
Use genuine accessories to ensure system safety and reliable operation. The use of
other parts is not permitted and invalidates the warranty.
Operating staff This system and its peripheral equipment may only be operated by trained or instructed
personnel. Anyone else must be kept away.
The system may only be installed by an authorised electrician. DIN VDE 0104 (EN
50191), DIN VDE 0105 (EN 50110) and the German accident prevention regulations
(UVV) define an electrician as someone whose knowledge, experience and familiarity
with the applicable regulations enables him to recognise potential hazards.
Intended application The PVS 100i is designed only to be operated via a direct connection to low voltage
networks up to 400 V.
When using the high voltage sensor HVS 120/36i, the PVS 100i can also be operated in
connection with a suitable insulating rod on medium and high voltage lines with up to
120 kV system voltage (corresponds to max. 70 kV phase to earth voltage).
Operating safety is only guaranteed when the system is used as intended. The
thresholds listed in the technical data may not be exceeded under any circumstances.
