Low-impedance Armature or Coil Test Procedures for PPX30A
1. Ensure that the test probes or fixture have been properly connected to the power pack, then power up the Baker
AWA and the PPX30A power pack.
2. Ensure that the
Test Select
switch is set to Leads Ground (
Ground icon
) and the
Function Selector
switch is
set to Armature (
Armature icon
). The power packs’ high-voltage test leads are not used during this test; safely
set them aside.
CAUTION: To avoid damaging the unit under test or substantially reducing the switching element’s useful life, do not
change the
Function Selector switch out of the ARM position during the performance of any test.
3. Turn the PPX30A Zero-start Override key switch to the horizontal position to enable zero-start override.
WARNING: When the zero-start override feature is enabled, target test voltage levels will be instantly
applied to the test leads when a test begins. Ensure that no one contacts the tester leads to avoid injury
during testing.
Fig 41: PPX30A Zero-start override key switch.
Item Description
1 Zero-start override. This key switch overrides the Zero Start function and allows the unit to
immediately apply the full target voltage level to the test leads. With the key in the vertical
position, testing starts at zero volts and must be ramped up to the target voltage level.
2 In the horizontal key position, zero-start override is enabled.
