In addition to the above, T1000 PLUS can test:
. Converters: V; I; φ°; p.f.; W; VAr; f., both 0 to 5 and 4 to
20 mA.
. Energy meters, single phase or three phase.
The instrument contains three separate generators:
. Main generator, which generates either AC current, AC
voltage; DC voltage;
. Auxiliary AC voltage generator, that generates an
independent, phase shifting AC voltage;
. Auxiliary DC voltage generator, that generates the DC
voltage that feeds the relay under test.
All outputs are adjustable and metered at the meantime on
the large, graphic LCD display. With the multi-purpose knob
and the LCD display it is possible to enter the MENU mode that
allows setting many functions, which make T1000 PLUS a very
powerful testing device, with manual and semi-automatic
testing capabilities, and with the possibility to transfer test
results to a PC via the USB interface. These results can be
recorded, displayed and analyzed by the powerful TDMS
software, which operates with all WINDOWS versions, and
allows creating a data base of all tests in the plant.
The basic T1000 PLUS function is to generate current and
voltages and to stop generation as the relay trips. Test results
are kept in memory, and can be transferred to a PC at a later
time, along with settings.
The ease of operation has been the first goal of T1000 PLUS:
this is why the LCD is graphic, and so large. With it, the
dialogue in MENU mode is made easy. Besides, all T1000 PLUS
outputs are continuously measured, and output values are
displayed, with no extra effort to the operator. Also the show
waveform feature can be of help: any doubt about strange
measurements, distortion and so on can be solved.
This is also why we have added the reduced power feature.
Modern relays have a very low burden. As current output is a
low impedance voltage generator, adjusting low currents
and/or current on low burdens is quite difficult because one
has to operate at the very beginning of the adjustment knob.
