  • Page 4 DO NOT operate damaged equipment. Remove power, and do not use the • equipment until safe operation can be verified by service-trained personnel. Phenix Technologies, Inc. assumes no liability for unsafe or improper use of test equipment.

  • Page 5: Technical Specifications

    HC-5 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS INPUT: 220-240 Volts, 50 Amps - Delay 50 Hz or 60 Hz (must be preset) OUTPUT: 0-15 Volts, 0-333 Amps 0-10 Volts, 0-500 Amps 0-5 Volts, 0-1000 Amps OVERLOAD: Short duration overloads are possible on each tap. The test set is capable of up to 5000+ amps, depending on the impedance of the test circuit.

  • Page 6: Warning

    WARNING 1. For safe operation, it is important that the unit be plugged into a properly grounded receptacle. 2. This unit is not designed for use in energized circuits. 3. Due to leakage current within the solid-state circuitry, it is strongly recommended to turn control power off when changing the output leads.

  • Page 7: Theory Of Operation

    THEORY OF OPERATION The following is a listing of the controls, switches, and lamps on the control panels and a description of their functions. INPUT Input cable plugs in here to provide input power. MAIN POWER This controls the input power to the control and the power section, and provides power circuit protection.
  • Page 8 THEORY OF OPERATION SENSE SWITCH This can be set to CONTACTS or CURRENT mode. When placed in CONTACTS mode, the unit will react to a change in condition of the SENSE INPUTS (Normally Open to Normally Closed, or Normally Closed to Normally Open).
  • Page 9 THEORY OF OPERATION TIMER The timer will begin counting when HC ON is pressed and the current surpasses the 9% or 4% level. The timer will stop when the current drops below the 9% or 4% level in the SENSE CURRENT mode. When in the SENSE CONTACTS mode, the timer will stop when a change in the SENSE INPUTS is detected.

  • Page 10: Basic Approach To Testing

    BASIC APPROACH TO TESTING The HC-5 is basically a continuously variable high current source, the magnitudes of which are dependent on the output tap which is selected. Please refer to the Technical Data and Specifications for the voltage and current ratings of the taps.

  • Page 11: Calibration

    CALIBRATION TIMER The timer is run from a precision programmable oscillator and should never require calibration. CURRENTMETER The calibration of the currentmeter should be checked on a yearly basis. To do this, place the MEM/CONT switch in the CONT position. Place the range switch in the 2 AMP range.
