The HVA-40/10 model has been designed specifically for testing vacuum interrupters in accordance with ANSI / IEEE C37.60. The test set provides up to 40 kV with respect to ground, at test currents up to 10 mA.
The test voltage is smoothly adjustable over the full range and is accurately monitored at the output of the high voltage transformer. A milliammeter indicates the leakage current.
A large HV-ON lamp and a complete set of status indicators give the operator full control of the test set and the item under test.
A high speed solid state cut-out disconnects the voltage on breakdown or flash-over and actuates the red “failure” indicator. The HVA-40/10 instrument is equipped with a “dead-man” safety switch requiring two hand operation of the instrument. A “zero-start” interlock prevents the application of high test voltage on start-up. The test can also be used for many applications where AC dielectric testing is required such as: Switchgear, insulators, wire & cable, oil, rubber-gloves and many more.
