Rapidly Ana CT-7000 The Model CT-7000 is a third generation, stand-alone, microcomputer-driven EHV Circuit-Breaker Analyzer. It is inexpensive and easy to use. The CT-7000 is available in models with 3 dry contacts (CT7000-3), 6 dry contacts (CT-7000-6), or 12 dry-contact inputs (CT-7000-12). The CT-7000 fully analyzes circuitbreaker performance: contact time, stroke, velocity, over-travel, and contact wipe. Contact-motion analysis includes: Open, Close, Open-Close, Close-Open, and Open-Close-Open. The CT-7000 timing window is selectable: 1-second, 10- second, or 20-second periods. The 10-second and 20-second timing windows allow timing of long duration events (Circuit-Switcher contacts). Contact Timing Inputs Breaker contact timing uses dry-contact input channels. Each contact-input channel can detect main contact and insertion-resistor contact times (displays milliseconds and cycles). Voltage Monitoring Inputs One analog voltage input channel is dedicated to monitoring circuit-breaker dc power supply or coil voltages 0 to 300 volts, dc or peak ac. One digital voltage input channel allows users to monitor voltage on/off status of an A/B switch. Trip/Close Current Monitoring A built-in Hall-effect current sensor records Trip/Close current level and duration. The breaker s operate-coil current waveform duration (effectively, a performance "fingerprint" or "current profile") can be used as a diagnostic tool for analysis of a breaker s performance. Breaker Stroke and Velocity Three travel transducer digital channels let the CT-7000 measure stroke, overtravel, and bounce-back. Unlike other types of transducers, the digital transducer requires neither calibration nor setup. A breaker contact-velocity calculation is based on a contact s travel distance over a period of time, which is defined by the breaker manufacturer s specifications. A special feature lets users "slow-close" a breaker and produce a test result report. Timing Shot Storage Capabilities The CT-7000 uses Flash Electrically Erasable PROMs (EEPROMs) to store timing-shot data. Unlike other storage media, EEPROMs are immune to shock, temperature, and humidity. Stored timing shots can be recalled by users to re-analyze test data, to print copies, or to transfer data to an IBM-compatible PC for record keeping. Up to 200 timing shots can be stored in EEPROMs. Breaker Test Plan Up to 45 circuit-breaker test plans can be stored in the CT-7000. Test plans comprise all circuit-breaker performance specifications (stroke, velocity, contact time). By recalling a test plan, the user can immediately test a breaker and view a pass/fail report (made by comparing actual performance with the specifications listed in the stored test plan). A user does not need to look-up the breaker specifications to compare with the test results to determine if the breaker passed the performance tests. Test plans can be downloaded to the CT-7000 via an RS-232C serial port. Breaker Initiate Features A built-in solid-state initiate device lets users operate the breaker from the CT-7000. The operational mode includes: Open, Close, Open-Close, Close- Open, and Open-Close-Open. Multiple operation (e.g., Open-Close, Open- Close-Open) can be initiated by using programmable delay time or by sensing breaker s contact condition. Diagnostic Capabilities The CT-7000 can perform diagnostics on its internal electronics. Self testing of transducer and contact-test cables lets users check out the Timer whenever verification is wanted. Computer Interface An RS-232C Interface port permits the control of the CT-7000 with an IBM-PC compatible computer. From the PC, circuit breakers can be timed, and users can retrieve timing shots saved in the CT-7000 flash EEPROM. Windows 95/98/NT/2000 -based Breaker-Analysis software package lets users retrieve testshot data stored in the computer s hard-drive disk, re-analyze the stored data, and generate reports in the office on an IBM-compatible computer. Available database software lets users generate customized test-result reports. Users may also create a circuit-breaker database library. Additionally, users can create circuit-breaker test plans to be downloaded to the CT-7000. User Interface An alpha-numeric keypad lets users enter breaker ID and control functions. A 4-line by 20-character LCD readout displays user messages. The LCD is back lighted so messages can be viewed in low light levels. A display contrast control is located on the front panel. Built-in Thermal Printer A built-in thermal printer prints the breaker contact analysis results in both tabular and graphic formats on 4.5-inch-wide thermal paper. Printer Port A parallel printer port can drive a HP color ink-jet printer (included with CT- 7000). From the ink-jet printer, users can get a color graphic printout of timing charts and tabulated results on 8.5-inch by 11.0-inch paper sheet. 230
