measured on the circuits on the primary and secondary sides will be displayed on the screen in real time. After the test, the transformation ratio and the polarity state will be worked out automatically. Polarity Discrimination Method: the homochromatic terminal of the tester is in-phase terminal, namely P1 connected to P1 of CT, and S1 connected to S1 of CT.

After the completion of the test, select “Print”、“Save”or “Print”. 7. Error Test 1) CT Error Test (connection mode shown in Figure 4) Move the controller to“CT”, Select Error to enter CT Error test interface (Figure 26).
Figure 28 Figure 29 2) PT Error Test (connection mode shown in Figure 6) Parameter Setting: as shown in Figure 28, U-pn: 0~2500V. U-sn: 100V、100/√3V、100/3V、150V、220V. Rated Load: The capacity of analyzer. Actual Load: According to the rated load setting, automatic calculation of load and light load of two kinds of state values (light load to full 25%).
situation, select “Print”、“Save”or “Print”. 2) PT Load Test (See Figure 7 for connection mode) Parameter Setting: as shown in Figure 31, Line-Res:Set the resistance value of the test line. U-sn:100V、100/√3V、100/3V、150V、220V. Move the controller to“PT”, Select Load to enter CT load test interface.Select Test key to start the test and the test result will be displayed automatically.
Figure 32 10. AC Hipot (Voltage Withstand Test of Alternating Current) Move the controller to“CT”or“PT”, Select AC Hipot to enter AC Hipot test interface (Figure 33), The users can set the AC output voltage to be 0 ~ 2500V according to their requirements.
The connection mode is as shown in Figure11(PT), short circuit the secondary side ‘a’ and‘x’ and connect them to the tester voltage output terminal K2, while the other voltage output terminal of the tester K1 is connected to the transformer shell. Move the controller to Test to increase the voltage and main it for 60S.

printer showing the smooth surface, take out a small amount of paper and press down the panel. If the printing condition is normal, but there are no words or curve on the paper, the paper is installed inversely. 3. Warranty period: 1 year.

If 10% error doesn’t conform to the requirements, the general measures taken are: Increasing the section area of the secondary cable area (decreasing the secondary impedance) Connecting the current transformers of the same type and transformation ratio in series (reducing the excitation current of the transformer) Using the winding with high excitation characteristic (increasing the excitation impedance) Increasing the transformation ratio of the current transformer (increasing the excitation impedance)
