Description
The Knopp Extended Range Current Transformer Testing System (Type KCTS-8000XA) is designed to measure down to 1% ratio of instrument current transformers having 1 or 5 ampere secondaries and primaries of up to 8000 amperes. The system uses an improved high accuracy multi-range current transformer as a reference standard, true primary current loading transformer, and automated controls to conduct a test. All operator inputs besides hookup of Transformer under Test (TUT) are software controlled and can be integrated to Meter Manager, Tesco Device Manager (TDM) or other system. All ANSI standard burdens are included now with active monitoring and adjustment for increased accuracy.
The phase angle and ratio errors of the TUT are measured by the built-in and upgraded Knopp Current Transformer Comparator. The test is completed automatically for increased efficiency and safety allowing for more CT’s to be tested, faster, and with increased accuracy to their full extent.
