Sverker – Substation Tool Box
SVERKER900 - Substation tool box List what we can do
• The toolbox for substation 3-phase testing • Electromechanical relays
• Three currents and four voltages • Static relays
• Stand-alone functionality • Numerical relays
• Rugged and reliable for field use • Self-powered relays
• Generation of 900 V and 105 A in single phase mode
• Secondary and primary testing
Multiple Timing Test CT – Mag / Saturation curve
And it can do Impedance (Z)
Current Transformer - CT
• Majority of CTs have 2 taps
• Sverker / TRAX / Ingvar
• MRCT & MVCT on 5 tap CT:
• 10 Mag-curves simultaneously
• 10 ratio tests simultaneously
• 10 Winding resistance tests Simultaneously
• Built in CT specifications
• Some CT Analyser claims faster test – Only on 2 taps
are tested
• Our simultaneous measurement similar time
for 5 taps to their two taps
