The BO-A AC/DC is a two-pole voltage detector for overhead lines of e.g. trams and electric buses. It is used to ensure the absence of voltage during maintenance work. The voltage detector BO-A AC/DC is suitable for use in DC and AC voltage networks. When the BO-A AC/DC is connected to a live line, an optical and acoustic signal is activated. A DC or AC voltage network is detected and indicated automatically. The BO-A AC/DC is designed and tested according to the standards IEC 61243-1,-2 and DIN VDE 0681-6. It can therefore be used worldwide.
