The new Wega series from Horstmann permanently carries out checks for your safety and reliably determines the voltage state in accordance with IEC 62271-213 in medium-voltage switchgear. The new tool-free assembly reduces installation times, allowing further cost benefits to be made.
The new tool-free assembly (and disassembly) reduces installation time and thus enables further cost advantages. The extended temperature range from -40 °C to +75 °C facilitates worldwide use.
A four-pole system plug and 4.8 mm plug are now available as standard for the WEGA input connections – this means that it can be used in all medium-voltage switchgear. The tried-and-tested four-pin system plug and connector is still used for the WEGA output. The connecting cable for coupling to the short-circuit direction indicators is also protected against polarity reversal and user-friendly.
One device for all applications
The new Wega 1 V contains up to 15 adjustable capacitor values, which can be set very easily and quickly phase-selectively by means of integrated rotary coding switches. This guarantees that the right device is always at hand – the wide-range Wega vario.
The Wega 2 V enhances the new Wega series, combining the vario function with relay outputs for remote signalling that has not been available up to now.
Overview of the features:
Complies with the new valid IEC 62271-213 and also the previous IEC 61243-5
Wide range Wega (e.g. 10 – 20 / 24 kV): Rotary coding switches for various voltage levels and quick and easy commissioning
Now with many more potential applications, thanks to the extended temperature range from -40 °C to +75 °C
Integrated repeat test: maintenance free
Overvoltage indication in the display: phase-selective
Retrofit ready:
Coupling Compass B series and Sigma D series
Front-mounted LRM interface:
completely IEC 662271-213 compliant

Surge Arresters are an essential component for increasing the reliability of the electricity network as they serve as the primary protection against overvoltage's, whether they're atmospheric and or caused by switching.
When selecting a Surge Arrester, there are several options and considerations, but the basic requirements of a Surge Arrester still remain the same;
The Surge Arrester should provide adequate protection with a sufficient safety margin, which means that overvoltage's at the device to be protected must always remain below its withstand voltage.
The Surge Arrester should be dimensioned for stable continuous operation, which means that the arrester must remain electrically and thermally stable under all conditions while handling all long-term, temporary, and transient stress resulting from network operation.
To assist with the correct selection of a surge arrester, the following information should be known
Maximum system voltage
Type of neutral (earthing) of the system/duration of failure
Lightning Impulse withstand voltage of the system
Creepage requirements/housing
Mechanical forces required
Energy absorption capability
Connections and if any additional accessories like surge monitoring

MV Technology Solutions is proud to be a sponsor partner again for this fantastic event that sees riders transverse North Queensland over 780km over 7 days, to raise funds to support children who live in the remote rural areas of the region.
The Cairns to Karumba Bike Ride began through the Cairns School of Distance Education P&C Association in 1996/97. Today, beneficiaries include Cairns School of Distance Education, State primary schools – including Mt Garnet, Mt Surprise, Georgetown, Croydon, Normanton and Karumba as well as child care centres, sports associations and more.
Get behind this great event and show your support https://c2kbikeride.com.au/1-ride-overview/donate-to-the-charity/ or join the ride https://c2kbikeride.com.au/registerc2k2022/
We would also like to wish all riders the best of luck and thank them for getting behind such a great event.
