Phenix BK60 - Mobile AC Dielectric Test Sets

Phenix Technologies offers a rugged, portable line of AC high voltage equipment for dielectric testing of aerial lift platforms and trucks. These units provide a complete testing solution in one convenient package. The standard safety features combined with advanced metering make the Phenix line of aerial lift high voltage test systems the premium choice for testing single trucks to maintaining a whole fleet.

The BK line of test equipment starts with the model BK130/36 which has the capability to test booms and liners to the boom only test equipment which is covered by models BK60 and BK180.

The precision digital metering equipped with a guard circuit to eliminate stray leakage currents ensures only boom leakage is measured. Standard safety features include a zero start interlock, adjustable output over-load circuit and short and long term thermal magnetic protection.

The oil-filled high voltage section is built in a rugged, fiberglass reinforced insulating tank which is light weight and durable for years of field use.

Testing Applications

• Ideal for testing aerial lift devices and elevated platforms
• Capable of testing double and horseshoe liners (BK130/36)
• Complies with latest ANSI and IEC standards (A92.2 / IEC 61813)
• Suitable for common dielectric and insulation testing requirements

Controls and Indicators

1. Main Power Circuit Breaker. Turns main power of unit on and off and provides input overload protection
2. Main Power Lamp. Illuminates to indicate input power is supplied to unit
3. High Voltage On. Momentary switch activates power to high vol tage circuits when pre-required conditions are met. Ready lamp (4) must be illuminated before High Voltage On switch will operate
4. High Voltage Off/Ready. Momentary switch turns high voltage off when activated. Ready lamp illuminates when all pre-conditions required for high voltage activation are met
5. Voltage Control. Turn clockwise to raise output voltage. High voltage cannot be activated if Voltage Control is not started at zero
6. Overcurrent Trip Adjust. Dial adjusts from 1 to 11 corresponding to 10% to 110% of rated output current (10mA). Overcurrent Trip/Reset lamp illuminates and high voltage turns off when output current exceeds setting, causing circuit to trip. Circuit also acts as short circuit and overload protection on high voltage out put. To reactivate high voltage, Voltage Control (5) must be returned to zero, and Overcurrent Reset switch (7) must be pressed to clear overcurrent circuit
7. Overcurrent Reset. Reset lamp illuminates to show that overcurrent circuit has tripped. High voltage circuits are deactivated. Momentary Reset switch must be pressed to extinguish Reset lamp to allow high voltage to be reapplied after returning Voltage Control (5) to zero
8. Currentmeter. Displays output current of test set, units based on current meter range setting
9. Voltmeter. Displays output voltage of test set, units in kilovolts
10. Ext. Intlk. - SX1. Provides for user connection of external interlock or auxiliary safety control device such as emergency off switch, gate switch, foot switch, dead man switch, etc. Included plug has shorting jumper installed to complete circuit. Jumper must be removed and cable connected to user supplied device by user if desired to use this provision. Only non-energized switch or dry relay contact devices may be used. This is a series 120VAC circuit that must remain closed for high voltage to be activated
11. TX2. Provided interconnect cable is connected here and to the same designation connector on the high voltage unit. This is the metering and return connection. CAUTION: Do not attempt to operate high voltage unit without this cable connected at both ends
12. TX1. Provided power interconnect cable connects here and to the same designation connector on high voltage unit
13. Line Cord. Supplies input power to unit. (Line Cord supplied)
14. CM Range. Turn to select the desired current measurement range.
15. Test Cell Timer – Press START/RESET to start the timer after test voltage has been reached. Press START/RESET again to reset timer to the original set ting. Press HV OFF BYPASS to allow high voltage to remain on after the timer has expired. Test time can be set using the buttons on the face of the timer
