TVL Voltage Limiting Device

In the case of overvoltage events in railway networks, the TVL products limit the dangerous voltage to very low safe values. In fault cases such as accidental short circuits with contact lines, the TVL generates a durable conductive path between the overloaded area and the substation. This results in increased current loads being sensed at the substation, allowing efficient tripping of the safety circuit breaker. The TVL is adapted for installation in urban railway infrastructure structures.
