CONTROLS AND INDICATORS Control Panel (cont’d) 4. High Voltage Off/Ready. Momentary switch turns high voltage off when activated. Ready lamp illuminates when all pre-conditions required for high voltage activation are met. Conditions required for Ready lamp illumination are: Power applied to unit and Main Power Breaker (1) on, Main Power lamp illuminated (2). ...

CONTROLS AND INDICATORS Control Panel (cont’d) 14. Measurement Divider. Setting of this switch determines the voltage measurement divider ratio. This switch must be set to match the actual high voltage output connection. WARNING! If a test specimen intended to be tested at 25kV is connected to the 50kV output and the Measurement Divider switch is set to 10kV, the actual voltage applied to the specimen will be approximately 5 times the indicated voltage on the panel meter and an over-voltage may be applied to the test specimen.
SECTION 4: ELECTRICAL SET-UP WARNING: Be sure the Main Power plug of the control unit is unplugged before proceeding. 1. Locate the desired location for the test set. Prepare the main power input cable for plugging in to the proper facility power (i.e., 120 volts AC or 220 volts AC). Leave plug unconnected at this time. 2.

ELECTRICAL SETUP CONNECTIONS AND GROUNDING: (Quick Reference) Position set in the desired location. Ground set by use of ground terminal on base of high voltage transformer. Connect TX1 and TX2 cables between controls and high voltage transformer. ...
Page 10
ELECTRICAL SETUP GROUND-GUARD-RETURN CONNECTIONS The base of the High Voltage transformer contains a currentmeter feature useful in measurement of different current sources. (Refer to Figure 4-1.) Standard Mode (RTN) The standard configuration is set up to measure the current from the high potential side of the unit under test to ground.
SECTION 5: OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: This unit should only be operated by personnel knowledgeable in High Voltage testing and safety procedures. Improper or careless operation of unit can result in serious injury or death. Ensure proper electrical set-up has been performed. Ensure that the testing set-up is safe for the operator and any other personnel in the area.
SECTION 6: CALIBRATION CAUTION: Calibration should only be done by persons familiar with High Voltage testing and safety procedures. All calibrations have been done at the factory. Periodic calibration of the output voltmeter and output currentmeter should be done annually. NOTE: Refer to Electrical Diagram Section for schematic pertaining to the model number of your test set.
Page 14
CALIBRATION Output Currentmeter It is necessary to connect adequately rated High Voltage loads (isolated from ground) to the high voltage unit that will allow each full range current to be drawn at approximately 15% or higher output voltage. This allows sufficient resolution to adjust current levels. Place Binding Post Configuration in GUARD MODE.
Check main facility input power to the test set. Check indicating lamps. (Spare lamps are available through Phenix Technologies.) Check operation of the circuit breaker (CB1). Control Power lamp should be on when the circuit breaker is ...

TROUBLESHOOTING Specific Problems (cont’d) 5. Voltmeter inoperable? - High voltage output shorted to ground. - Damaged or inoperative Measurement Divider Switch. - Meter defective. - Faulty TX1 interconnect cable - No high voltage present at the test set output. - Faulty circuit on PCB1387. 6.
SECTION 8: MECHANICAL MAINTENANCE General CAUTION: When cleaning, always have unit disconnected from power source. No solution or chemical stronger than an ordinary household cleaner should be applied to the cabinet area of this unit. Care must be used when cleaning the meter faces and console panel. Abrasives may remove printing and descriptive titles and scratch meter faces.
SECTION 9: CHECKING OIL PURITY NOTE: Typical test data for the oil used by Phenix Technologies are provided at the end of this section. 1. The most reliable means of determining the purity of the oil in the field is to test the dielectric strength. Test sets for this purpose available on the market differ in design, particularly in the shape of the electrodes and the test container.
Page 19
CHECKING OIL PURITY a. High Dielectric Strength: Transformer Oil has high electrical insulating values as shown by their dielectric strengths of over 30,000 volts. b. Excellent Oxidation Stability: Excellent oxidation stability and high resistance to sludging provide protection, particularly where high temperatures are likely to be encountered.
10-1 SECTION 10: TRANSPORTING / STORAGE OF EQUIPMENT In some instances, there is a requirement for transporting the equipment from one location to another for on- site field testing. If such conditions prevail, the following precautions should be adhered to. 1.
When your purchase order is received at our office, a representative of Phenix Technologies will contact you to confirm the current price of the part being ordered. If a part you order has been replaced with a new or improved part, an Applications Engineer will contact you concerning any change in part number.
If the unit will be operated at an isolated site for an extended period or will be subjected to unusual stresses, a larger quantity of parts should be stocked as spares. In such a case, contact your Phenix Technologies' sales representative for a recommendation.
Reason for Return Cause of Defect If Phenix Technologies, Inc. deems return of the part appropriate; it will then issue an "Authorization for Return." If return is not deemed advisable, other inspection arrangements will be made. NOTE: Material received at this plant without the proper authorization shall be held as "Customer's Property" with no service until such time as the proper steps have been taken.
17-1 SECTION 17: CUSTOMER COMMENTS/SUGGESTIONS Phenix Technologies made significant efforts to ensure that the materials in this Operator’s Manual are correct. If there are concerns or comments as you have used this information, Phenix Technologies appreciates any feedback. Unit Serial Number:...
