CPOL3

CPOL3 is a handheld device that displays the magnitude of AC signals as well as the magnitude and polarity of DC signals. Voltage can be measured directly with the CPOL3 up to 1000 V, and current can be measured by using a current clamp/current shunt with the CPOL3 inputs. The CPOL3 also has an oscilloscope and a spectrum analyzer mode. Using a three-phase waveform, phase identification is verified using the CPOL3.

PROGUSA

CVA500 Test Set

ProgUSA is introducing a new CT/PT/CVT test set from DV Power with a 10-inch touch screen for ease of programming and viewing results. Model CVA500 uses the IEEE/IEC-approved secondary test injection method for CT testing. In addition to 2 KV AC direct injection measurements, it adds something new by calculating instrument security factor (IFS) for metering-type CTs and accuracy limit factor (ALF) for protection type CTs. This provides improved accuracy over typical CT suppliers of about the same cost and costs less than higher-end CT testers with the same accuracy. Also new is a fully automatic tester function that auto-sequences through several test types at each of the multi-taps. A five-tap interface is included. DV Power’s 3-year warranty also applies with USA service based in Florida.

RAYTECH

FRSL Test Now Available in the Mini-ATOS

A new FRSL test is now available in the mini-ATOS. The FRSL test can be used to find mechanical problems in windings, such as the shorted turns between the parallel strands of a winding. The short circuit impedance is measured at various frequencies up to 400 Hz. Due to the skin effect, the resistance increases at higher frequencies.

The readings can be compared with other phases. If it looks different, it may be a sign of a short circuit between a parallel strand or other problems.
