Notes

In order to prevent accumulation of static electricity inside the running tester,


make reliable ground connection via its ground terminal before the test.

Be caution when output voltage is over 36V, this might cause some electric
accident. Keep safety and avoid this situation occurring.

When high current is being outputted, avoid personal injury and the equipment
damage, which is under test.

Never add external voltage and current onto the voltage/current output
terminals of the tester.

Since the tester is a kind of precision electronic equipment, keep a water-proof


and damp-proof environment for it.

Find any abnormal signs during the installation of the tester, please inform
factory immediately and don’t fix it by yourself.

1. General Introduction

The T500 series single phase relay test kits are designed for easy and safe test of
different type of relays. The powerful 250A/2000VA current source can be used to test all
kinds of current relays, including high burden relay and CT. The AC/DC current and/or
voltage sources allow phase angle and frequency to be adjusted smoothly. This makes it
possible to precisely test directional and frequency relay. The kit uses advanced switching
power amplifier to replace the traditional transformer, thus avoiding the dangerous high
voltage across the current output.

 The output current values can be set in two states, the tester will count time
when press the ENTER button.
 There are two ways to record the action time. Firstly, as soon as the tester
receives a single from the relay under test; secondly, the current stop to output,
 In this unit, the max output time of max output current is 120s.
Test process
1) Select test item.
2) Set current values.
3) The first state output current value should be smaller than trip current value of relay.
4) The second state output current value should be bigger than trip value of relay, and
makes the relay act.
Press the Run button, the tester will start to output the first state current value. Press
the ENTER button, the state will change into the second state and start time counting at
the same time. As soon as the tester receives the acting signal from relay or stops to
output, the tester will record the action time.

5.4 CT Test:

5.4.1 Primary side injection

 Connect wires as above figure, and connect the I1 output into the CT primary
side
 Select high power AC current menu, shown as above figure.
 Select a appropriate current output range
 Set the current value for output
 Press the Run button to output current, check the sampling of protection, or
action behaviors of relay and switching.
 If the output current has insufficient power, the overload lamp will flame and the

5.4.2 Ratio test

 Connect I1 output to the CT primary side and CT secondary side to the current
measuring terminal, shown as above figure. Don’t make open circuit.
 Select the Ratio 250A menu, shown as above figure.
 Set the current for output, and CT secondary current rating. The software will
calculate the ratio by the CT secondary current rating automatically.
 Press the Run button to output current. The tester will display the current it has
measured and the ratio that has been calculated.

5.4.3 Polarity test

 Employ the method of inputting the pulse voltage at CT primary side to have the
CT polarity test.
 Connect wires as above figure shown. Please connect the polarity terminals of
CT primary and secondary sides correctly.
 Press the function button, then the tester will output a voltage pulse. It’s not
necessary to press the function button for a longer time.
 The positive and negative lamps will tell us the TA polarity.
 If the report is needed to be saved, go to the CT Polarity menu and select the
CT polarity that has been measured out to save, shown as above figure.

5.4.4 Winding resistance test

 Connect wires as above figure shown


 Select the secondary DC Resistance test menu, shown as above figure.
 Set the DC current values for output, and environment temperature.
 Press the Run button to output the DC current, the tester will display the DC
voltage that has been measured and the secondary DC resistance that has been
calculated at 75℃

40
T200A Hardware Operation Manual

5.4.5 Excitation curve test

 Connect wires as above figure shown


 Select the Excitation Curve test menu, shown as above figure.
 Set the start current value for output
 Press the Run button to output the start current, elevate the current gradually
and record the corresponding voltages that have been measured and
corresponding series of test points.

Note: During the test, the current should be rise gradually and can’t be swing up
and down, which might cause remanence. The existence of remanence will have
great effects on the measuring results. Once this situation happens, you should
re-elevate the current to be higher than the original value and then decrease it
gradually to zero. Repeat foregoing process for one or two times, thus the effect of
CT remanence can be cured.

5.4.6 Secondary impedance test

 Connect wires as above figure shown. Disconnect the connecting sheet inside
the CT terminal box heading to CT winding.
 Select the Manual&Meter menu, shown as above figure.
 Set the current value for output, which is normally the secondary current rating.
 Press the Run button to output current, and the tester will display the voltage
and secondary impedance value that have been measured.

5.5 DC test of operating loop

 Connect wires as above figure shown.


 Select the Manual&Meter menu, shown as above figure.
 Select the DC voltage value from the menu.
 Press the Run button to output the DC voltage, adjust DC voltage value, and
record the corresponding DC current value at the same time.
 Operation loop test include 2 tests, one is the start performance test to
relay device, another is the low voltage operating test to trip coil of the
medium/high voltage breaker,

5.6 Timer

Single channel test

Double channels test

 Connect wires as above figure shown


 Select the Timer menu, shown as above figure.
 Set single channel and/or double channels from the menu.
 Press the Run button to start the test. The action time will be measured
automatically before the test has ended.

44
T200A Hardware Operation Manual

5.7 Voltage/current measuring function

 Select the Manual& Meter menu, shown as above figure.


 This unit could measure internal or external voltage and current, and when you
measure DC resistance or secondary impedance and CT ratio/excitation curve,
this measure part have to be in series with/ in parallel with the output
variable(current or voltage), or take it as a measurement tool to measure
external variable.
 Press the Run button to start the test, and the test results will be displayed on
the screen directly.
