MTS-1753 THREE CHANNEL CURRENT SOURCE
11.1 INTRODUCTION
The MTS-1753 three channel current source is a convenient way to increase the three phase current output
of an MTS-1710 and MTS-1720 system when it’s desired to do very high per-phase current testing. An
example of this type of work would be complete protective relay system testing using calculated faults based
on real world system parameters. The high power capabilities of the MTS-1710 +1720 + 1753 are sufficient
to drive a complete panel full of protective relays, while the relatively long time duration available for the
full power output offers exceptional flexibility in programming fault scenarios.
The total current output is programmed, measured and displayed on the front panel of the MTS-1710, or via
the RS-232 interface of the MTS-1710.
