1 SAFETY Important For added protection during a lightning storm, or when the SVERKER 750/780 is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet. This will prevent damage due to lightning and power line surges.
2.1 Applications Current and voltage transformation ratio tests Burden measurement for relay protection equipment SVERKER 750/780 is intended primarily for testing Impedance measurement relay protection equipment, but it can also be used for many other purposes. Virtually all single-phase relay...
Moreover, these instruments can be used for measurements in external circuits. A set of resistors and a capacitor (SVERKER 750) are provided, and they can be connected into the circuits being tested to provide phase shifts, fine adjustments and the like.
