The WITT WB-CM3 monitors the insulation between the shield or conductor and an earthing point and signals the event via potential-free signaling contacts. Measurement data can also be transferred to third-party systems.

Description

Areas of application

In DC networks with high power, micro-faults can grow in the insulation and promote the damage process of a cable.

  • Stray currents and damage to buildings
  • Electric shocks
  • Energy losses

Typical applications and common power lines:

  • Light rail (subway, streetcar, etc.)
  • Charging stations for trains, buses and trucks
  • Battery buffer systems
  • Solar systems

Function overview

  • The WB-CM 3 is used to detect interruptions in the conductor or shield as well as insulation faults.
  • It can withstand high voltages of up to 1,500 V and insulation voltages of up to 2,100 V DC.
  • The current status is indicated on site by indicator lights.
  • Potential-free changeover contacts enable external signaling.
  • Any number of threshold values can be stored for monitoring the cable structure.
  • The WB-CM 3 is a fully digital measuring system that can transmit the available measured values to third-party systems via communication protocols.

 

 

Functional description

The following description covers the basic functions of the device. These can also vary considerably due to extensions or customer functions.

The voltage between the cable sheath and a ground is taken via a rectifier. As soon as this voltage rises above an adjustable threshold, the alarm relay is triggered. The circuit operates according to the constant current principle, i.e. even if the voltage rises to 1000 V or above, the current requirement does not increase any further. The leakage current flowing to earth is very low at 2 mA; the current load only rises to 6 mA in the event of a fault. The switching status is indicated locally via a signal lamp.
