TM1600/M

A61

The TM1600™ breaker analyzer measures a circuit breaker’s timing cycle. The timing channels record closings andopenings of main contacts, resistor contacts and auxillary contacts.

Since the timing channels are not interconnected, you can take measurements of resistor contacts and series-connected breaker chambers without having to disconnect them.

A built-in program unit permits easy selection of different sequences of breaker control pulses. The delay timebetween pulses is set on a thumbwheel. The breaker operation unit can be used to control coil currents of up to 25 A. The time values obtained refer to the exact instant at which voltage was applied to the coil, and a built-in printer provides you with a hardcopy printout immediately after measurement.

The TM1600™ can be equipped with up to 24 time-measuring channels as required by the user. When more than 24 channels are needed, one or several slave units can be connected together to get an unlimited numberof measurement channels. Modular design also makes it easy to combine the system with the MA61™ MotionAnalyzer.

The TM1600™ supports communication with personal computers and the CABA Win™ Breaker Analysis Software.The analyzer can be used for testing breakers taken out of service or for on-line testing. Fully equipped, it weighsonly 12 kg (26.5 lbs).

Breaker Analyzer System


TM1600/M

A61

The MA61 Motion Analyzer is an excellent supplement to theTM1600. It combines the easy readability of an oscillograph withthe extra accuracy ensured by computerized measurement andcomputer-processed readings. Menu-driven button selection via the built-in display makes operation simple and easy.

The MA61 can be equipped with up to 6 analog channels, and it can be easily adapted to the different measurement require-ments for high-voltage circuit breaker testing. It can measure andcalculate contact paths and the speeds at which breaker contactsoperate as well as the current in operating coils. It can also measure dynamic resistance (DRM), voltage, pressure, vibrationsignals and other analog entities.

After measurement, the MA61 performs the necessary calculations and prints results in both diagram and table form on a connected printer (letter-size A4 paper) or via the TM1600’sbuilt-in printer. Moreover, parts of curves can be easily enlarged forcloser study.

The MA61 incorporates a battery-backed memory that canstore up to ten measurements for subsequent processing.

Breaker testingSetupA typical breaker test hookup is shown here.PreparationSet the desired breaker operating sequence on the TM1600. In this case, CLOSE-OPEN (C-O).RecordingEnable recording with the READY button. Start the breaker sequence and measurement simultaneously by turning the START switch.Test reportThe result is printed automatically. This example shows a CLOSE-OPEN (C-O) sequence presented in the report 1 format (85 % of actual size). Only the initial contact closing time (for CLOSE) and final contact separation time (for OPEN) are presented in the report 1 format. Short bounces are not shown.

APPLICATION EXAMPLEBreaker timing with motion recording SetupConnect the transducers to the breaker.Preparation of the MA61The following additional settings are needed when you include motion recording in breaker analysis. These settings are menu-driven via the built-in display on the MA61.1. Select test interval (50 ms to 1 s).2. Calibrate the input(s) connected to the position transducer(s) as follows:

a) Close the breaker.b) Record the closed position via a menu option.c) Open the breaker.d) Record the open position.e) Estimate or measure breaker stroke. Enter the value via

the menu.f) Enter speed calculation parameters.

3. Enter the current range and the scale factor for the current shunt if current is to be measured.

4. Enter range and scale factor for other transducers (if used).RecordingPress the READY button to prepare the TM1600 for measurement.Travel measurement, time measurement and the breaker sequen-ce all start simultaneously when you turn the START knob. The in-puts now record the input voltages obtained from the connectedtransducers.Test reportThe motion recording report includes both curves and a table. The table presents calculated breaker parameters such as closingspeed, opening speed, overtravel and penetration.

The diagram shows one or more time/amplitude curves andthe calculated breaker parameters. The time axis scale factor canbe changed to provide you with a quick overview or an enlargedview of part of the diagram.

The position of the curve in the diagram and the amplitude scale factor can also be changed to make best use of theavailable space.

The damping and speed variations at closing and opening times can be studied on the speed curve obtained from each of the motion-monitoring channels.
