3.1.2.
Calculation of the Unknown Shunt Resistance
The resistance of the unknown shunt resistor on the primary side of the 6624CT-3000 can
be calculated from the measurements made in steps 7 and 8 above and with additional
measurements of the potentials on the unknown shunt potential terminals. Calculate the
resistance of the unknown shunt from the following formula:
Shunt Resistance = Primary Test Current / Vshunt
Where:
Primary Test Current
is the magnitude of the test current source as
calculated in step 8 of 3.1.1.
Vshunt
is the average magnitude of the absolute positive and
negative potentials on the unknown shunt.
3.1.3.
Recommended Test Setup Limits and Precautions for the 6624CT-3000
See Table 3-1 for the recommended test setup limits for various current ranges. Note that
the current on the 150 mA Burden terminals is 1/20 of that on the 3 A Burden terminals
such that the ratio is 20 times of that stated on the 6624CT-3000 range switch.
3.1.4.
Checks and Precautions
-
Start with a test current of 1/10 of the value to be measured and increase the current
slowly to the desired value.
-
Verify that the meter on the 6623A-3S does not stay off scale when the test current
is applied but returns close to the centre point in a few seconds.
-
Turn off the test current if the power indicator lamp on the 6623A-3S dims or the
meter remains off scale.
-
Ensure that a suitable burden is connected to one of the burden terminals and a
shorting plug is connected to the other burden terminals.
-
Ensure that a termination plug is connected to the 'Control' connector on the 6623A-
3S if the Model 66259 Extender Control Unit is not used.
-
Ensure that all current lead connections are tight.
CAUTION: Loose High Current Connections Can Create Very High Temperatures
and Arcing
