  • Page 8: Installation

    User Manual TOPACC-HC INSTALLATION Both electronics module as measuring head have a unique rating plate for easy identification. As electronics module and measuring head together form a measuring system the serial numbers on both components are the same but have an additional code. This is the letter code EM for the electronics module, and the letter code MH for the measuring head.

Mains supply connector X1 The standard supply voltage is 400V - 3 phase – 50…60Hz. Other voltages on demand. For connecting the electronics module to the mains supply a 7-pole Burndy connector is supplied.

    User Manual TOPACC-HC INDICATIONS The System TOPACC-HC is equipped with several LED indicators for quick survey. They are located in the frontpanel of the electronics module. All LED's indicate a "true" situation. Also indications are available on potential free contacts for remote monitoring. Power on LED This LED indicates the presence of the DC voltage on the printed circuit boards.

    User Manual TOPACC-HC The Measuring Head Standard The number of secondary turns, series connected, normally results into a nominal compensation current of 5A. The temperature rise of the secondary winding will be 50K maximum, after 24 hours of nominal current. The thermal time constant is approx. 4 hours. With calibration windings The head with calibration winding consists of two identical 5A windings with a total number of ampere- turns equal to that of the secondary winding.
  • Page 14 User Manual TOPACC-HC module and contains several auxiliary circuits such as speed regulators for the fans, drivers for the power stages and terminals interconnecting the controlloop. The +/- 40V line for the controlloop is protected with thermistors for overload protection. Furthermore there are some optional auxiliary circuits in case an unipolar DCCT or a bipolar (2-stage) extremely high current DCCT with a H-bridge power amplifier is requested.
  • Page 15: Maintenance

    User Manual TOPACC-HC MAINTENANCE Periodical maintenance The TOPACC-HC needs no specific periodical maintenance. Re-calibration is suggested every 5 years. The accumulation of dust, dirt or moisture can however affect the correct operation of the TOPACC-HC. Depending on the operating conditions this should be checked once a year. Cleaning should be done with low pressure, clean dry air or with a soft brush.
  • Page 16 User Manual TOPACC-HC 7.3.4 Controlloop The following tests can only be performed with the use of an extender board, in order to have all connector pins available for measuring purposes. (F-type connector with the rows d, b and z). * Measure always with respect to common (d4, b4, z4). * Oscilloscope input: DC.
  • Page 17 User Manual TOPACC-HC d. Peak detector The output signal of the "peak detector" is shown in the figure below. The output signal is measured in closed-loop situation. The wave-shape depends a lot of the adjustment made for induced voltage with potentiometer P3, but will be synchronous with the magnetizing current.
  • Page 18 User Manual TOPACC-HC Accuracy check Due to the very good long-term stability of the TOPACC-HC it is not really necessary to check the accuracy periodically. Under normal operating conditions the ratio drift and offset drift versus temperature and time will stay within the original specifications. Nevertheless, if an accuracy check is required, the following circuits could be used.
  • Page 19 User Manual TOPACC-HC Calibration If calibration of the DCCT is desired, one of the test circuits suggested in the accuracy check description can be employed. Note: Do not use an extension board for the precision amplifier because this strongly can influence the calibration.
