KATC-C2 - Automatic Current Transformer Comparator (KATC-C2)


Got older, slower equipment? Knopp’s Automatic Current Transformer Comparator (KATC-C2) is faster, more robust and more accurate!
Knopp’s KATC-C2 is a high accuracy current comparator that is compatible with all older generation Knopp comparators, and is designed to be a direct, plug-in replacement requiring no modification of the existing Knopp Current Transformer Test Systems. Save time and money on service by upgrading your comparator to our new next generation model!
Features
- Easily interchangeable with other Knopp comparators; no modification needed
- Compatible with TESCO Test Manager
- Ability to test transformers with 5 ampere secondaries
- Automatic sensing of 50 or 60 Hertz current
- Calculation and display of ANSI accuracy class
- Usage and hookup error detection and alerts, resistant to excessive test current
- Fast testing time (under one minute)
- Continuous instantaneous readings
- Automatic operation (no manual “nulling” or adjustments required)
- Demag
- Auto-ranging capability
- Eliminated the possibility of burning up resistors by turning up the current too fast
- 5” Full color LCD, 800 x480
- KATC-C2-1 model allows the ability to test down to unity
