Introduction; Workflow - ABB CB-2000 User Manual

1. Introduction

1.1 Introduction
The CB-2000 is an advanced measurement unit especially developed for measuring the capacitance
of high power capacitors without making any disconnections within the capacitor bank. The ergonomic
design makes it easy to handle and with the shoulder strap attached, easy to carry. The capacitance
value is clearly displayed on an LCD legible both in daylight and dark environments.
The low voltage (less than 1.4 V) test signal is generated only when a measurement is made, in order to
minimize power consumption. The measurement frequency is automatically adjusted according to the
measured capacitance for best possible results.
To ensure reproducibility, up to five measurements can be stored and shown for each measurement
object. The measurements produced by the CB-2000 are time stamped and the internal temperature at
the time of measurement is stored as well. The data can later be downloaded to a PC for storage and
analysis using the accompanying software.
The CB-2000 is short-circuit proof and has a measuring range of 0-1000 μF.

1.2 Workflow

The handling and operation of the CB-2000 is quick and easy:
1.
Prepare the CB-2000 for a measurement session by uploading the last session data or routine test data (optional).
2.
After all safety measures have been taken on the capacitor bank, connect the voltage supply and clip-on trans-
former and perform a measurement.
3.
Download the measurement data to a PC for analysis and storage (optional).
