CU-Ps MK2 10KA 20KVA

The CU-Ps Mk2 primary current injection system is ideally suited to commissioning and maintenance testing where very high currents are required. The system consists of separate control and loading units for maximum flexibility. The control unit contains all control and metering circuitry, and is linked to the loading unit by control and metering cables.

The control unit may be used with one of two loading units providing between 5000A or 6000A for 5 minutes or up to 10 or 12kA for short periods. Each loading unit has two outputs which may be connected in series or parallel for maximum flexibility. For example, the PLU-6k may be configured to either give a maximum current of 3000A at 6.6V or 6000A at 3.3V.

The control and loading units are each housed in tough steel cases fitted with castors and protective lifting handles. The loading units have a small plan area to allow them to be positioned as close as possible to the test object, minimising power requirements and maximising the available current.

The CU-Ps Mk2 control unit is shown here with a PLU-6k loading unit. This combination may be used to inject currents of up to 6000A for 5 minutes or 12000A for 1 second.
This unit is ideally suited to all primary current injection tasks, including testing under and over current relays, circuit breakers and CT ratio testing.

The control unit is rated at 20kVA and has digital metering. A memory facility is provided on the metering to hold the current reading when the output trips or is switched off. The current is automatically switched off when the device under test trips.

The CU-Ps Mk2 systems have a high accuracy timing system with 1ms resolution. Selection for normally open or normally closed contacts is automatic, and the status of the contacts is shown on the front panel. Timing modes are available for under and over current devices, re-closers, under and over voltage devices, current trips and circuit breakers.
