The Voltech AC Interface is a versatile, easy-to-use accessory for the Voltech AT3600/AT5600 transformer
tester. The AC Interface:
•
Extends the range of wound components that may be tested by the AT3600/AT5600 by allowing a variety
of third-party AC sources to provide the test signal
•
Can be used with either
A simple step-up or step-down transformer for 0-600V , < 25W
External sources that provide up to 600V @ 10A, 20Hz to 5 kHz for testing higher power transformers.
•
Automatically controls the AC source to optimise test speed and enhance operator safety.
•
Integrates the AC source seamlessly into the AT3600/AT5600 environment and allows all other standard
tests to be executed in the same program that is used by the external source.
•
Fits into the rear part of the fixture bay on an AT3600/AT5600.
•
Provides a convenient method of connection between the source, the AT3600/AT5600 and the test piece.
•
Comes with all necessary inter-connecting leads supplied.
•
Isolates the AT3600/AT5600 from the external source, when the external source is not being used,
preventing damage to the source during later high-voltage testing.
•
Allows a step-up or step-down transformer to be used to boost the voltage or current of the
AT3600/AT5600's internal generator.
•
Makes four tests available for use with the AT3600/AT5600 and an AC source:
o
MAGX - Magnetising Current (External Source)
o
VOCX - Open Circuit Voltage (External Source)
o
WATX - Wattage (External Source)
o
STRW - Stress Wattage (External Source)
