16. Start/Reset. Press to start the timer after test voltage has been reached. Press again to reset the timer to the original setting. 17. HV Off Bypass. Press to allow high voltage to remain on after timer has expired. Indicator lights when depressed. 18. Timer. Select desired test time using buttons on face of timer. See Attachment 6CP50/10-3...
3. Check that control circuit breaker is turned off and connect input main power cable to a suitable grounded receptacle Brief connection instructions and a diagram are on following pages. 6CP50/10-3...

(NOTE: Ensure the Ground (“GND”) post is grounded.) CAUTION If the test specimen is not fully isolated from ground, the current meter will either not work, or not display accurate current readings, and this mode should not be used. 6CP50/10-3...
To regain high voltage, the Raise Voltage dial must be returned to zero and the Overcurrent Reset button must be depressed (lamp will extinguish). After all testing is complete, turn off the front panel circuit breaker. Remove the input power cable from the facility power input. 6CP50/10-3...
Raise the output to approximately 80% of the rated output voltage. Adjust the reading on the panel meter (M2) by means of potentiometer R2 to a corresponding reading. Check linearity at several points from 20% to 100% of rated tap voltage. 6CP50/10-3...

6. No output voltage from high voltage section? - Defective metering circuit. - No input to voltage regulator section, possible problems with K3 contacts, variable transformer, or with CB1. - Shorted high voltage output. - Defective high voltage output transformer. - Defective TX1 cable or connector. 6CP50/10-3...
At time intervals, ranging from six months to one year, the oil purity (see Section 9) should be checked in the high voltage transformer to verify its reliability. If the transformer is subject to adverse weather conditions or an oil leak develops, the oil purity should be checked regularly. 6CP50/10-3...
SECTION 9: CHECKING OIL PURITY NOTE: Typical test data for the oil used by Phenix Technologies are provided at the end of this section. 1. The most reliable means of determining the purity of the oil in the field is to test the dielectric strength. Test sets for this purpose available on the market differ in design, particularly in the shape of the electrodes and the test container.

When your purchase order is received at our office, a representative of Phenix Technologies will contact you to confirm the current price of the part being ordered. If a part you order has been replaced with a new or improved part, an Applications Engineer will contact you concerning any change in part number.
If the unit will be operated at an isolated site for an extended period or will be subjected to unusual stresses, a larger quantity of parts should be stocked as spares. In such a case, contact your Phenix Technologies' sales representative for a recommendation.
Reason for Return Cause of Defect If Phenix Technologies, Inc. deems return of the part appropriate; it will then issue an "Authorization for Return." If return is not deemed advisable, other inspection arrangements will be made. NOTE: Material received at this plant without the proper authorization shall be held as "Customer's Property" with no service until such time as the proper steps have been taken.
