8.1.

 

Line to Ground: Time Accuracy. 

8.1.1.

 

Edit the test parameters for a Voltage test: 

 

Trigger on POS 

 

Voltage Test 

 

Voltage setting: 50.0 V 

 

Line to Ground measurement 
 

8.1.2.

 

Connect  L-G  to  1s  time  constant  terminals  “A”  and  “B”  of  CAL-BOX  and  also  connect  an 
oscilloscope using a 10X or 100X probe. 

 

8.1.3.

 

Perform  a  test  and  disconnect  one  end  of  the  CAL-BOX  after  0.7  –  0.9  seconds,  see  video 
CBX1V,  confirm  the  oscilloscope  time  measurement  correspond  to  the  CDT-240  (within  +/-
0.01s). 

 

8.1.4.

 

Record on section 6 of CAL-Log-001-CDT 240. 

8.1.4.1.

 

Waveform  value  time:  Oscilloscope  time  measurement  from  Main  relay  disconnection 
until CBX is unplugged “fast decay”. 

8.1.4.2.

 

Tolerance time: Waveform value time +/- 0.01s. 

8.1.4.3.

 

As left time: This is the value of the test time result on the CDT-240. 

8.2.

 

Neutral to Ground: Voltage Accuracy. 

 

8.2.1.

 

Edit the test parameters for a Voltage test: 

 

Trigger on NEG 

 

Voltage Test 

 

Voltage setting: 50.0 V 

 

Neutral to Ground measurement 

 

8.2.2.

 

Reverse the polarity of the EUT voltage by unplugging the EUT power cord, swap the  Line and 
Neutral spade lugs on the power connector, and reconnect EUT power, as it shows it in 

Figure 7

. 

 

8.2.3.

 

Connect  N-G  to  1s  time  constant  terminals  “A”  and  “B”  of  CAL-BOX  and  also  connect  an 
oscilloscope using a 10X or 100X probe. 

 

8.2.4.

 

Perform  a  test  without  disconnecting  the  CAL-BOX,  confirm  the  voltage  on  the  waveform 
corresponds to CDT-240 Voltage within ±2% of reading ±0.8V. 

 

8.2.5.

 

Record on section 6 of CAL-Log-001-CDT 240. 

8.2.5.1.

 

Waveform  value  voltage:  Voltage  level  at  CDT-240  time  result.  Note:  Compensate  for 
oscilloscope offset. 

8.2.5.2.

 

Tolerance voltage: Waveform value voltage ±2% of reading ±0.8V. 

8.2.5.3.

 

As left voltage: This is the value of the voltage result on the CDT-240 (50V +0V -0.8V). 

 

8.2.6.

 

Return back the polarity of the EUT to normal connection.
