It can be used in qualification or production, for the test of differential circuit breakers, differential switches, circuit breakers, breakers, current relays, fuses (slow, fast, or ultra-fast), current sensors, and other equipment requiring a great mastery in current injection, both in its waveform and its accuracy. To optimize performance and industrial efficiency, the system is modular. The chosen architecture separates the functions on different modules installed in a rack which width is 19 inches. They are easily interchangeable. The basic version includes: o o o A stopwatch for measuring trigger, merge, move,... which takes into account internal events (level of voltage or current) as well as external events (trigger). An acquisition system for measuring current and voltage as well on a stabilized current as on a stealth event with, for example, the ability to achieve a measure of effective value (or peak) on the last period before trigger of the product under test. A generator of waveforms to generate normative profiles but also users profiles from files. Completely autonomous with its local control by touchscreen, it can be controlled remotely from a supervisor system via an Ethernet, RS232 or RS485 link. Several racks can be synchronised through LVDS links to increase the output current or provide a three-phase system. 1 / 10
