                 Kries Voltage Detecting Systems are designed according to IEC 61243-5. The relevant IEC-committee has prepared a new standard IEC 62271-213:2021 which is the replacement for the IEC 61243-5. 
 &amp;nbsp; 
   This new standard cancels and replaces the first edition of IEC 61243-5 published in 1997 and the first edition of IEC 62271-206 published in 2011. This edition constitutes a merging of the content of IEC 61243-5 and IEC 62271-206.   
 &amp;nbsp; 
 Of course, Kries VDS are tested according to the new standard IEC 62271-213:2021. The new standard will be printed on the clamp label during 2021 and over the transition period also on the front cover.

                 The  IKI-50_1F R2  is equipped with two voltage inputs:   
 
 Precision voltage measurement from a reference divider (e.g. resistive divider with accuracy of 0.2 to 0.5 %, e.g. from the transformer field). 
 Voltage measurement input from CAPDIS, which is present in any field anyway for voltage testing. 
 
 The capacitive voltage measurement from CAPDIS can be calibrated with the reference signal and thus becomes a precision voltage measurement with system accuracy of 1 % for each feeder. 
 &amp;nbsp; 
 The cost saving per feeder with CAPDIS instead of precision dividers is approx. 600 to 900 Euro due to the elimination of field-selective precision dividers.
