KP-Test 5 / 5L / 5A, SPPC 5, Deltameter 5 voltage detectors and phase comparators for 1–36 kV MV networks
Country: Germany · Model: KP-Test 5 / 5L / 5A, SPPC 5, Deltameter 5
The KP-Test 5 series for 1–36 kV networks includes voltage detectors per IEC/EN 61243, the single-pole SPPC 5 phase comparator and the Deltameter 5 for measuring the difference of phase voltages. The detectors are used to check for absence of voltage on all poles of the workplace per EN 50110 in switchgear, on transformers and on medium-voltage overhead lines.

Description
This check is mandatory under the five safety rules after switching off and securing against reconnection. The detector is switched on actively, and the self-test checks the electronics, battery charge and contact electrode, so no reference measurement is needed. Absence of voltage is shown by steady green light without sound, and presence by six red flashing LEDs and a loud signal that are noticeable in sunlight and in noisy surroundings. The instruments are resistant to interference, work in rain and snow, and the marking is multilingual with pictograms. All detectors are designed and tested per IEC 61243-1, and come for one voltage, for a range or in a switchable dual version. The SPPC 5 for 1–36 kV per IEC 61481 determines phase coincidence by touching two conductors in turn, and the electronic EPC 2 checks phase coincidence on switchgear per IEC 62271-215 and the field rotation direction. The detectors of this range have been made for more than 50 years, and each passes a 100 % functional test before delivery and at every periodic inspection.
How to choose
The model is determined by the point where voltage is checked. The universal KP-Test 5 and 5 dual for 1–36 kV with a 520 mm insulating part and a removable fork electrode suit switchgear, transformers and overhead lines. The KP-Test 5A for 3.6–36 kV works only with the capacitive points of outer cone connectors per DIN VDE 0278-629-1, after the protective caps are removed. For 3–36 kV MV overhead lines there are the KP-Test 5L and 5L dual, including as a separate unit without a stick, and networks from 30 to 420 kV require the KP-Test 5H+ and 5HL range.

FAQ
How does KP-Test 5A differ from KP-Test 5?
The KP-Test 5A measures only through the capacitive points of outer cone connectors. The KP-Test 5 has a removable fork electrode and touches live parts of switchgear, transformers and overhead lines.
What is the measurement accuracy of Deltameter 5?
The Deltameter 5 for 1–13 kV shows the voltage difference of two phases on a four-digit display with a resolution of 10 V and an accuracy of ±5 % plus 30 V.
For what mains frequency are the KP-Test 5 detectors made?
As standard for 50 Hz, and versions for 60 Hz and 16.7 Hz are made on request.
How often is the periodic test of the KP-Test 5 voltage detector carried out?
Under DGUV V3 at least once every 6 years, and at each inspection the instrument undergoes a full functional test.
