2.6 Description of features
Portable Test Equipment
consists of two devices: source of measuring signal and
Working Standard.
The source is accurate multifunctional and powerful signal generator. Working Standard is an
accurate three phase reference meter of electrical quantities. The whole device is dedicated for
calibration of electricity meters, and eventually can be used as supply of measuring signals or as
reference meter of voltage, current, power and energy.
The device is designed to work in single-phase, two-phase and three-phase connections where
signals can be generated with different shapes for various values of parameters and simultaneously
measure all characteristic variables including curves and real time values of percentage errors of
calibrated meter.
User can set characteristics of generated signals in a simple user interface of generator mode and in
measuring mode measurement results are displayed in real time. The results are stored in an internal
database, from where, using the USB bus, can be transferred into the PC. Measurement and
evaluation values are implemented in all phases separately and also cumulative.
Measuring section
either displays characteristics of generated signal or allows via versatile
interchangeable inputs connection of different external meter accessories: current transducer for
small currents up to 20 A, current clamps for currents up to 120 A or 240 A, flexible current probe for
high currents up to 6000 A or voltage transducer for voltages up to 500 V (phase to neutral).
Measurement based on accurate A/D conversion and DSP technology enables high-speed evaluation
of all main and descriptive variables in real time. In addition to measuring power, voltage, current and
phase device also indicates the phase sequence, evaluates active, reactive and apparent energy. The
apparatus measures and graphically displays distortion and shape of measured signals. For
calibration purpose the device is equipped with frequency output, for which any variable and
frequency constant can be set.
The appliance is equipped with integrated error processing capability, with optical sensor for capturing
LED, disk or impulse contacts of verified meters and snap switch for simple manual verification.
The device is powered externally from 230V. Software for MS Windows allows transmission and
presentation of measurement data in PC.
