CONTROLS AND INDICATORS High Voltage Transformer Figure 3-2 The following descriptions are keyed to Figure 3--2: Power Connector Connect the Power Cable from ‘Output to Transformer’ connector on control box at this point. High Voltage Unit Ground Point A Ground cable from facility ground or earth ground must be connected here. Guard Binding Post (GRD) Currents associated with this connection bypass the current meter (meter bypass connection).

SECTION 4: INITIAL SET-UP--MECHANICAL 1. Set up object under test. 2. The area to be used for the test must provide sufficient mechanical and electrical clearances. The approximate weight of each section is available from the nameplates or the Specification Page. 3.
INITIAL SET-UP--ELECTRICAL WARNING ! DO NOT OPERATE THE TEST SET WITHOUT REMOVING HIGH-VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER FROM THE CART. THE HIGH-VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER MUST BE POSITIONED A SAFE DISTANCE FROM PERSONNEL AND OTHER OBJECTS. WARNING: Ground the output of the High Voltage Transformer until set-up is complete! Be sure the Main Power Circuit Breaker is in the OFF position before proceeding.
Page 13
INITIAL SET-UP--ELECTRICAL NOTE: The external interlock circuit must consist of a closed loop of dead contacts; an open circuit prevents the high voltage output from being energized. When the control power is on, the external circuit will be energized with 120 volts AC. 4.
Page 14
INITIAL SET-UP--ELECTRICAL CURRENT METER GUARD CIRCUIT There are three terminals on the base of the high voltage transformer; white GRD (Guard), green GND (Ground), and a red RTN (Return). There is a metal jumper that must always be connected between either the GND and GRD terminals or the GND and RTN terminals.
Page 16
SECTION 5: OPERATIONAL VERIFICATION PROCEDURE WARNING: This equipment should only be used by personnel familiar with High Voltage testing and safety procedures. Make sure that Main Power Circuit Breaker on the Control Panel is in OFF position. Make sure that all electrical connections have been properly made between the Controls and High Voltage Unit, including grounds.
Page 17
OPERATIONAL VERIFICATION PROCEDURE 14. Move short from 50 kV output to 100 kV output and ground. Repeat step 13. Unit should trip off at approximately 10 mA. NOTE: Do not attempt to check 110% level of current trip under shorted output conditions. Rated output currents are only available through a capacitive load of sufficient value.
Page 18
GENERAL TEST PROCEDURE Make sure that Main Power Circuit Breaker on the Control Panel is in the Off position. Make sure that all electrical connections have been properly and securely made, and that the test specimen is properly connected to the High Voltage Transformer (refer to Initial Set-up Procedures). Make sure the Guard / Ground / Return Jumper Clip is set properly for test being performed.
SECTION 6: CALIBRATION CAUTION Calibration should only be done by persons familiar with High Voltage testing and safety procedures. All calibrations have been done at the factory. Periodic calibration of the output voltmeter and output currentmeter should be done annually. NOTE: Refer to Electrical Diagram Section for schematics pertaining to the model number of your test set.
Page 20
CALIBRATION Overcurrent This calibration should not need adjustment (factory adjusted). If the Overcurrent Circuit is out of calibration, perform the following steps. To recalibrate the Overcurrent Circuit with the High Voltage Unit it will be necessary to connect an 8 nanofarad capacitor rated at 50 kVAC or higher to the 50 kV / 150 mA output of the High Voltage Unit.
Check main facility input power to the test set. Check all control and switch settings. Check indicating lamps. (Spare lamps are available through Phenix Technologies.) Check Fuse F1 and F2 Check operation of main power circuit breaker (CB1). Main Power lamp should be on.

TROUBLESHOOTING Specific Problems (cont’d) Currentmeter inoperable? Binding post jumper clip installed between ground and guard with a grounded test object. Connection between currentmeter and high voltage test specimen return connected improperly. Meter damaged Faulty TX1 interconnect cable. ...
SECTION 8: MECHANICAL MAINTENANCE General CAUTION: When cleaning, always have unit disconnected from power source. No solution or chemical stronger than an ordinary household cleaner should be applied to the cabinet area of this unit. Care must be used when cleaning the meter faces and console panel. Abrasives may remove printing and descriptive titles and scratch meter faces.
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.
Page 25
CHECKING OIL PURITY a. High Dielectric Strength: Transformer Oil has high electrical insulating values as shown by their dielectric strengths of over 30,000 volts. b. Excellent Oxidation Stability: Excellent oxidation stability and high resistance to sludging provide protection, particularly where high temperatures are likely to be encountered.
10-1 SECTION 10: TRANSPORTING / STORAGE OF EQUIPMENT In some instances there is a requirement for transporting the equipment from one location to another for on- site field testing. If such conditions prevail, the following precautions should be adhered to. 1.
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.
