Hot Socket Simulator (3100-L)
The Simulator is equipped with one 2S meter socket with four jaws, one of which is the heated jaw. The arcing/heating apparatus can be moved to any of the four jaws (jaw 1 is the standard). Additional arcing/heating elements can be provided as an option for multiple hot jaws on the existing socket.
The TESCO Hot Socket Simulator (Cat. 3100-L) has been designed with safety in mind. The simulation chamber is interlocked and must be closed to initiate the start of a test. All power is terminated if the chamber doors are opened. A polycarbonate impact resistant shield is used to enclose all simulations. A temperature output alarm can also be set to a desired cut-off temperature. The TESCO Hot Socket Simulator (Cat. 3100-L) records temperature and other pertinent data through the plastic deformation phase of meter failures. The Simulator has selectable loads, and adjustable arcing.
The new TESCO Hot Socket Simulator (Cat. 3100-L) gives you the ability to investigate meter failure issues related to hot socket phenomenon.
