Schneider Electric
Product at a glance
- Voltage presence indicating system in compliance with the IEC 62271-206 standard (and with the old IEC 61958 standard).
- 9 references available to adapt to all applications.
- Voltage output option to provide Voltage signal to T300 SC150 module through an adapter.
VPIS V2 and VPIS V3
- Use VPIS V3 for applications with T300.
- Use VPIS V2 with Flair 2xD or VD23.
- If VPIS VO is not used, VPIS V2 or VPIS V3 can be used indifferently.
- Never mix VPIS V2 and VPIS V3 in the same switchboard.
- Phase concordance is not possible between VPIS V2 and VPIS V3.
The VPIS V3 is a self-powered voltage presence indicating system, in compliance with the IEC 62271-206 standard.
It includes:
- Voltage presence indication by LEDs: High reliability, very long life time.
- Connectors on the front panel allowing the use of a Phase Concordance Unit.
- On Voltage Output versions, four wires allowing to provide Voltage sensing to T300 SC150 module through an adapter.
It consists of two parts:
- Surge protection part (always connected). There are 2 models of this part: The standard one and the "VO" (Voltage Output) one, used to feed T300 SC150 module (through Voltage adapter - reference EMS59577). This part is the same for VPIS V2 and VPIS V3.
- Voltage presence indication part (replaceable for maintenance). There are 9 variants for this part, according to cubicle and Network Voltage. The 9 VPIS V3 indication parts are different from VPIS V2 ones, but each covers the same application range as its equivalent VPIS V2 one.
Retrofit of a VPIS V1 or VPIS V2 to VPIS V3 is easy: see VPIS Installation and Maintenance manual (reference NT00395-EN) for more details.
Product Description
The 3 plugs on the front panel of VPIS V3 are designed for connection of Phase Concordance unit VPI62421. Never inject any current or voltage signal in these plugs.
VPIS V3 is designed to indicate the voltage presence according to IEC 62271-206. It does not provide any guarantee of voltage absence.
Phase concordance can be carried out between 2 VPIS V3 using Phase Concordance unit reference VPI62421. This is the same Phase Concordance Unit as for VPIS V2. It is not possible to carry out Phase Concordance between a VPIS V2 and a VPIS V3. See VPI62421 User Manual (reference NT00214-FR-EN) for more details. VPIS V3 is not designed to be used with other Phase Concordance Unit than VPI62421.
Threshold
In compliance with the IEC 62271-206 standard, the 3 VPIS V3 indication LEDs are lit or flashing when the network voltage or the relevant phase is > 45% of the rated voltage.
| IEC 62271-206: | Equivalent percentage of network voltage U | Equivalent percentage of rated voltage V | Status of VPIS indicator LEDs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phase-to-phase Voltage value | 10% | 45% | Extinguished |
| Phase-to-ground (earth) | 17% | 78% | Lit or flashing |
The flashing frequency increases with the network voltage value. At rated voltage, the indicator LEDs seem to be lit steadily.

VPIS V3 Components
Diagrams showing VPIS V3 components: "Open" seal, Standard surge protection, Voltage presence indication, Rubber shutter.
Diagrams showing connection components: Coupling elements cable with 4-pin connector, Voltage output cable, Ethernet cable, VPIS Adapter.
Connection
- The VPIS V3 includes a 4-pin connector for connection to the cubicle coupling elements: 1 pin for connection to ground (earth) and 1 pin for connection of the coupling elements on each phase.
- The wires used have a cross-section of 1 mm², with an outside diameter ranging between 2.5 mm (0.098 in) and 2.9 mm (0.114 in).
- The connector contacts are Minifit 5556 type.
- The connector housing is of MOLEX 39-01-4040 or 39-01-4041 type.
- On VPIS-VO versions, the Voltage Output cable is a 1 m long MOLEX 79516 type cable, to be connected to the VPIS Voltage Adapter EMS59577. This adapter is connected to SC150 module using one of the three following Ethernet cables available (type S/STP or S/FTP): CCA770 - length 0.6 m/1.97 ft (reference: 59660), CCA772 - length 2 m/6.56 ft (reference: 59962), CCA774 - length 4 m/13.12 ft (reference 59962).
Installation recommendation
It is important to respect certain rules regarding the installation of the cable from cubicle coupling elements. It must be fixed so that in case of condensation, water flowing along the wires is guided to the ground and not to the wiring harness input of the VPIS.

The range of use for each VPIS-V3 depends on Service voltage, network frequency and the switchgear capacitor. Here are typical range of use for 50Hz/60Hz. In case of use only for 50Hz or only 60Hz, the range of use could be expanded, please consult the switchgear offer manager.
