Traction Current Sensors CS Range

Incomparable modularity

CS current sensors come with a complete range of options and accessories and a wealth of preset variants that have now become standard. As well as being renowned for their incomparable modularity, CS sensors give their users the edge because they are compact and easy to fit. They also offer a number of connection options, their simplicity and performance characteristics are unrivalled as are their magnetic immunity and mechanical resistance. They meet all the exacting demands of sectors as varied as railways, the mining industry and control in difficult environments such as ozone generators. CS current sensors and VS voltage sensors together constitute an offer the railway industry cannot afford to ignore.
                            You simply can't get any smaller!

ABB current sensors contain everything needed to do the job – you don't need anything else. By integrating the philosophy of reduced size into its CS sensors, ABB have brought miniaturization to a point of perfection. This miniaturization also gives great flexibility of installation as well as the best size and performance for money on the market. Small really is beautiful.



The efficient way

Once again ABB have shown that they put all their know-how and talent for innovation into improving efficiency. Whether fitted horizontally or vertically, ABB sensors fit perfectly into your system configurations and the space available. Installation is no longer a problem; in fact inserting sensors is child's play. This choice of fittings is a first in the sensors market. This ability to stay a length ahead makes ABB stand out from their competitors.

 Unbeatable reliability

Designed using the 6 sigma approach, the CS range is a model of reliability. The choice and number of optimized components, traceability of subassemblies, individually production tests... nothing is left to chance to guarantee your peace of min

Quality that goes beyond standards

ABB have been ISO 9001 certified since 1993 and our sensors bear the CE label. This ongoing striving after quality has always been the hallmark of a company where excellence and safety are part of the culture, from design right through to production. This culture is the result of continuous research to make technical progress and meet our customers' demands. 



 Perfect efficiency in every environment

The CS range has been designed for applications in difficult environments such as on-board railway equipment (power converters, auxiliary converters for heating, ventilation and air conditioning) and the mining industry. Their robust design and excellent performances (e.g. operating range between -40° and +85°C) make CS current sensors ideal for use in other very demanding applications (marine, wind-power, ozone generators, etc.)


Incomparable protection against magnetic fields

CS sensors are conceived, designed and renowned for their unrivalled immunity to ambient magnetic fields. Although they are in continuous proximity of powerful currents capable of distorting their measurements, this does not, in fact, occur. Their accuracy is rock-solid and once set to measure a particular current, that is what they measure - that and nothing else.

 


 SAFETY
CS sensors meet the various safety standards in force such as EN 50124-1 for electrical insulation and NFF 16101-NFF 16102 for fire-smoke resistance.

QUALITY
The chief selling-point of CS sensors is their quality. Compliance with EN 50121-X for electromagnetic disturbance and EN 50155 for their high-tech electronic design is proof of their ability to comply with the most detailed constraints as well as major demands. The fact that each individual sensor is subjected to rigorous testing such as sensor burn-in is proof of the importance ABB attribute to quality.

 ECOLOGY
BB have long been concerned with the protection of the environment, as proved by the ISO 14001 certification they received in 1998. This environmental approach is particularly noticeable in production of the CS range in the reduction of the number of components, in the use of a low-energy manufacturing procedure and the use of recyclable packing. The products in use are also characterized by their reduced energy consumption.
