1200A-3PH Current Injection

Features:

• 0-1200A 3 Phase output.
• Accurate true RMS digital metering.
• All outputs fully isolated.
• Multi-function 1ms resolution timing system.
• Auxiliary AC output.
• Thermal and over-current protection.
• Maximum power output 13kVA
• The 1200A-3PH is a three phase injection system providing commissioning and maintenance engineers with a flexible system for testing protective systems.  It has an easy to understand panel layout and a simple user interface.  The status of every function can be seen at a glance, and there are no complex menus to navigate.

  Each loading unit has two output taps to allow for a range of load impedance.  Each phase is isolated and can be configured to either give a maximum of 1200A at 3.5V or 600A at 7V. Three true RMS metering ranges are provided, allowing the full scale of the meter and trip level to be set independently of the selected output.

  An auxiliary metering input is provided and can measure voltage, current, frequency, and the phase between any of the current outputs and an external voltage or current.

  The timing system is very flexible without compromising ease of use, allowing trip times, reset times and reclose times to be quickly measured to a high degree of accuracy.  Two independently isolated contact inputs are provided, and the timing system may also be used as a stand-alone timer.

  The 1200A-3PH can be use to test many single and three phase devices including:

  • Over and under current relays
  • IDMT relays
  • Auto-reclosers
  • Time delay relays
  • Earth fault relays
  • Miniature circuit breakers
  • Power relays
  • Tripping relays
  • Thermal relays

  Main Output

  The units have three independently controlled outputs, one for each phase. The output is switched on and off by illuminated pushbuttons, and the current is set using the three control knobs on the front panel. All ranges are continuously variable from zero.

  Range	Continuous	5 minutes	1 minute	20s
  3.5V	350A	600A	1000A	1200A
  7.0V	175V	300A	500A	600A

  The above intermittent on-times must be followed by an off-time of 15 minutes, and are based on an ambient temperature of 25°C.

  Digital Metering

  The output on the 1200A-3PH is metered by a digital true RMS system with a memory ammeter. The currents for each phase are displayed simultaneously.

  Range	Resolution	Trip current	Accuracy
  60.00A	0.01A	63A	±0.6% rdg+5d
  500.0A	0.1A	525A	±0.6% rdg+5d
  1200A	1A	1260A	±0.6% rdg+5d

  An electronic current trip is automatically set to 105% of full scale of the selected metering range to protect the device under test.

  The unit is must be supplied by a 400V±10% 50/60Hz 3 phase 1300VA Max.

  Timing System

  The timing system on the 1200A-3PH  is very flexible, allowing a wide range of protective devices to be timed.

  Range	0-999.999s
  Resolution	1ms
  Accuracy	0.01% rdg +2d (all except current operated mode)
  	0.01% rdg +4d (current operated mode)

  The contact circuit has an open circuit voltage of 24Vdc and a short circuit current of 20mA. The contacts may be connected to volt-free contacts or contacts connected to a DC voltage system (240Vdc maximum).

  The following functions are provided:

  Mode	Timer Start	Timer Stop
  Internal Start	Press ‘ON’	Contact 1
  Single Contact	Contact 1	Contact 1
  Dual contact	Contact 1	Contact 2
  Current operated	Current > 10% of range	Current < 10% of range

  The output is automatically switched off at the end of the test to safeguard the relay under test.

  Protection and Safety

  The 1200A-3PH is protected by electronic over current trips on the outputs, fuses on the contact input, the mains input and regulators. An earth terminal is provided for connection to a local earth.

  The unit is designed to comply with BSEN61010, and is CE marked.
