Metrohm HVD03/2D Network Rail Overhead Lines Kit

Metrohm HVD03/2D Network Rail Overhead Lines Kit

The Metrohm HVD03/2D Network Rail Overhead Lines Kit is a purpose-built high-voltage live line indicator designed for use on railway overhead line equipment (OLE), typically operating at 25 kV AC. It provides a clear and reliable method for confirming whether overhead conductors are energised or safely de-energised before work begins, helping to support safe working practices on electrified rail networks.

It is a contact-type detector that can be mounted onto an insulated pole or used with the supplied hook attachment to reach overhead lines from ground level. Once in contact with a live conductor, the unit delivers an immediate warning through a bright LED indicator that activates alongside a loud audible buzzer to ensure visibility in strong daylight and audibility in busy, high-noise railway environments.

This kit is configured specifically for rail applications, making it a more suitable choice than general-purpose voltage detectors. The included accessories are designed to improve reach and usability when working on overhead systems, allowing engineers to carry out voltage checks efficiently and with confidence. It is well suited to maintenance teams, contractors, and infrastructure specialists working across electrified rail networks.

For safe operation, correct procedures and appropriate training are essential, including the use of a compatible proving unit to verify functionality before and after testing.
