 Designed to be integrated into every situation

The NCS sensor is entirely symmetrical. Its square shape and strategically positioned oblong holes make it easy to fasten in a choice of 2 positions. It comes with a pair of flanges that can be fastened on either side of the sensor giving complete fitting flexibility. It meets the standard design of ABB current sensors. It can be fitted both horizontally and vertically.  This flexibility means that NCS sensors can be fitted in any position and simplifies the work of integrators. Additionally the pair of right angle brackets allows the NCS sensor to be fitted to one or several bars at the

 

 Fixed installations


100% electronic

The main advantage of the NCS range of sensors is that they are designed using a brand-new solution: 100% electronic technology. Unlike other currently available solutions such as shunts and CTs, this approach means that these sensors are very compact. Several patents were necessary to achieve this improvement.






 



 
Considerable energy savings

NCS sensors offer considerable savings in energy. Indeed only a few watts are required to power the NCS sensor in contrast to traditional sensors that require several hundred watts.This reduction in wasted energy means there is no rise in temperature around the sensor.

Quality that goes beyond standards

ABB have been ISO 9001 certified since 1993 and our standard NCS sensors bear the CE label in Europe. 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.
 
 QUALITY
The chief selling-point of NCS sensors is their quality. Compliance of their high-tech electronic design with standard EN 50155 is proof of their ability to comply with the most detailed constraint as well as major demands. The fact that each individual sensor is subjected to rigorous testing is proof of the importance ABB attribute to quality.		 SAFETY
NCS Traction sensors have been designed to meet the sub-station standards EN50123-1 and EN50121-5. NCS range sensors also meet the safety standard EN 50124-1.
 ECOLOGY
ABB 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 the production of the NCS 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.
