AC Dielectric Test Sets

The 50/100 kV AC Dielectric Test Sets are ac high-voltage sources for testing electrical insulation. The standard system includes a control/instrument cabinet, a high-voltage transformer assembly and all necessary cables including ground and input power.

The high-voltage transformer is installed in an oil-filled, heavy-duty, fibreglass tank permanently mounted on a cart with casters. Convenient points are provided on the tank top (0 to 100 kV) and side (0 to 50 kV) for connection to the high-voltage output. A voltage divider is permanently connected to the output terminals and installed inside the high-voltage tank for mechanical protection. A wing nut is provided on the cart for the ground connections. Storage space is provided on the cart for the control cabinet, instruction manual and cables.

                                                 

APPLICATIONS

These test sets consist of general-purpose ac high-voltage sources suitable for dielectric withstand (high-potential) testing of all types of electrical insulation. They also permit guarded leakage current measurements and are suitable for use with capacitance and dissipation factor bridge systems to measure insulation power factor.

The Megger 681100 Series test sets are recommended for testing capacitive loads that fall under the capability curve. Most electrical insulation systems are principally capacitive. Operation from 50-Hertz input supply permits a 20% increase in maximum load capability.

The Megger 686100 Series test sets are recommended for special applications involving resistive loads, or small capacitive loads with extended test durations.
