RA

Interference Frequencies Detection for the Railway domain

RA - Railway current sensors

The RA product family serves the purpose of detecting interference frequencies and relies on Rogowski technology (air-core). It enables the measurement of alternating components within a specified bandwidth contained in a continuous primary current.

RA sensors offer a bandwidth ranging from 20 to 3000 Hz. It is important to note that LEM does not include an integrator as part of the RA product range.

These RA current sensors are primarily designed and customized for railway applications.

RA – Features and benefits
