Page 2 The FACT-1 outputs 120VAC to the cable under test and therefore extreme caution must be exercised to prevent electrical shock. Never obstruct the intake or exhaust grills in the cord storage compartment.
Page 3 FACT-1 DESCRIPTION Alternating Current (AC) Ammeter Clear tests are used to indicate the presence of either grounds or short circuits on a primary feeder's three phase conductors or either grounds or short circuits on transformer secondaries. Intentional grounding of the feeder cables may occur during some types of maintenance.
Page 4 FACT-1 FRONT PANEL DESCRIPTION 1. TEST CABLE CONNECTOR - 3 binding posts for making connections to the individual phases of the feeder. Each post is labeled to correspond to a particular phase of the feeder. 2. LCD DISPLAY - The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) for displaying instructions, messages, and ammeter current.
Page 5 IMPORTANT: The FACT-1 is not designed to work with any type of GFCI protection device. In a situation where a ground is left connected to the feeder, the FACT-1 will output current on the corresponding phase however, the return current will be on the neutral/sheath of the feeder and/or earth ground.
Page 6 A ALIVE PHASE A TO GND FAULT If the FACT-1 detects maximum equal current in the output phase and the return phase, then a phase-to-phase fault exists and is displayed: B ALIVE...
Page 7 Unit Temperature is Too High. Please Allow to Cool (with power switch on) If this situation occurs, leave the FACT-1 plugged in with the POWER switch ON. This will operate the fan and reduce the internal temperature. When the unit temperature' drops to an operational level, the message will disappear and the unit may be used for testing again.
