Introduction 1 General 1.1 Description VAX020 is a 2 kV voltage amplifier designed to work as an accessory to an IDA/IDAX test system, increasing the output voltage from 200 V to 2000 V peak (1414 V rms). the main application is insulation diagnostics in electric power systems with moisture assessment for oil-immersed transformers as a key area.
The instrument case must also be grounded by the separate protective ground wire with connection to the protective earth terminal on the rear panel. This is to eliminate differ- VAX020 ZP-AF01E AF0050AE...
