VAF 16
Multispan VAF 16 volt-amp-frequency meter for simultaneous measurement of voltage, current and frequency parameters.
The VAF 16 is a high-performance voltage and current fault monitoring module designed to provide accurate voltage detection, current monitoring, and electrical protection for industrial, commercial, and utility systems. In Kenya, the VAF 16 is widely used in distribution boards, motor control centers, automation panels, and energy management systems, ensuring safe operation, system reliability, and equipment protection.
Modern facilities require reliable fault detection and monitoring to prevent downtime, protect critical equipment, and maintain operational efficiency. The VAF 16 offers real-time voltage and current measurement, overload detection, and fault alerts, helping engineers and facility managers identify anomalies before they escalate into serious issues.
Its robust industrial design makes the VAF 16 ideal for industrial plants, commercial buildings, hospitals, data centers, and renewable energy installations across Kenya.
What is VAF 16?
The VAF 16 is a multifunctional monitoring module that detects voltage fluctuations, monitors current levels, and protects electrical circuits from faults. It is specifically designed to identify abnormal conditions such as overvoltage, undervoltage, overcurrent, and phase imbalances, ensuring that connected devices operate safely and efficiently.
The VAF 16 integrates with PLC systems, SCADA platforms, and building management systems (BMS) for centralized monitoring, real-time alerts, and historical data logging. In Kenya, it is particularly valuable in industrial and commercial facilities that require continuous monitoring of electrical parameters and fault protection.
