Siemens Allis "Voltage Isolator"
Siemens Allis "Voltage Isolator"
(OP)
I came across this requirement from a Transit Authority customer looking to rebuild some old Siemens Allis electric railway substation gear. He has no record drawings unfortunately, and Siemens Services could not locate them by Serial Numbers so we have been forced to piecemeal this project together one part at a time. This one has me stymied.
They are calling it a "Voltage Isolator", I have attached a picture. I have no idea where it came from in the gear, their maintenance tech brought it in disambiguated. My guess is it is an old form of transducer. My hope is, someone here has seen something similar. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You may have to shake a few wires to see where it is connected. This is some of the "fun" stuff about messing around with old gear.
Forgive me... I'm having Siemens issues myself right now.

Kinda dumb to call it an "Isolator" when it takes in one supply and makes two! More like a "power supply".
Fire it up! See what happens. I bet it works.
