640-0.4P Portable AC Dielectric Test Set

×

The Phenix offers the new model of AC Vacuum Interrupter Test Sets with ratings from 40 kV to 60 kV which are suited for testing a wide range of electrical equipment. These units are lightweight and ruggedly constructed for field use. Each unit provides easy to read digital instrumentation and clean efficient controls.
 

Testing Applications

Designed primarily for vacuum interrupter testing; however, unit can be used for testing breakers, switch gear and many other apparatus.

Control and Metering Description

1. Auto Voltage Preset. Press (+) and (-) buttons to select desired test level. Range 00.0 to 60.0 kV
2. SX1 Connector. Provision for connecting external interlocking switching loop. Open loop prevents high voltage turn on
3. Dwell Timer. Rotate knobs to preset desired test dwell time. Test time is displayed digitally
4. TX2 Connector. Connect mating cable to high voltage tank. Metering circuits
5. TX1 Connector. Connect mating cable to high voltage tank. Power circuits
6. Output Voltmeter. Dual function digital meter displaying output voltage or failure voltage directly in kilovolts
7. Output Currentmeter. Digital currentmeter to directly display the test current in milliamperes
8. Rate of Rise Select. Switch to select desired rate of rise (500 V/S or 3000 V/S)
9. HV Off Switch/Ready Indicator. Press to turn high voltage off and to abort testing cycle. Lights when high voltage can be turned on
10. HV On Switch/Indicator. Press to turn high voltage on and to start testing cycle. Lights when high voltage is on. High voltage will not turn on until Ready indicator is lit or if Failure indicator is lit
11. Failure Indicator/Cycle Reset Switch. Lights to show that failure has occurred or cycle has completed. Press to reset memory meter, cycle and failure detector circuits so that testing may proceed
12. Control Power On Switch/Indicator. Press to turn on control power. Lights to show that control power is on
13. Input Power Fuses F1 and F2. Connect power cord to main power source. Main fuses to protect entire test set (10A/120V or 5A/220V)
14. Fault Indicator. Lights if unit not grounded or line and neutral inputs are reversed. Correct fault so light is out before operating unit
15. F3 Fuse. Protects primary circuit of high voltage transformer (5A Slo Blow/120V or 5A/220V)
16. Power Input Connector

Connections and Grounding

• Position set in the desired location
• Ground set by use of ground terminal on base of high voltage transformer
• Connect TX1 and TX2 cables between controls and high voltage transformer
• Connect SX1 - external interlock circuit as appropriate
• Connect return lead, provided, to low side of test specimen
• Connect high voltage output to high side of test specimen
• Connect main power cord to appropriate receptacle
