ETI PI-5000 Gen2 – Portable Circuit Breaker Test Set – Peak Output 60000A

• Peak output of 60000A (Ranges: 0-1000A, 5kA, 25kA, 100kA)
• Ideal for testing draw-out breakers and molded-case breakers up to 4,000A continuous
• Output transformer with dual primaries and secondaries
• Various pulse preset modes provide additional testing capabilities for electromechanical and solid-state trip devices
• Standard serial port that may be connected to a printer, computer, or other devices

The PI-5000 Gen2 is a rugged, durable, and easy-to-use high-current primary injection test set. Its two-piece modular design provides unequaled flexibility for testing within a confined space such as a basement or rooftop location. The steel enclosure is clear of protruding components and full-width handles with provisions for lifting hooks are on both ends. Locking swivel casters provide ease of mobility.

• Peak Output of 60,000A: This test set achieves peak output of approximately 60,000A making the unit ideal for testing draw-out breakers and molded-case breakers up to 4,000A continuous.
• Maximum Versatility: With an output transformer with dual primaries and secondaries, the PI-5000 Gen2 provides optimal impedance matching to a wide range of breaker sizes.
• Convenient Preset Outputs: The PI-5000 Gen2 is built with various pulse preset modes providing additional testing capabilities for electromechanical and solid-state trip devices. A short preset pulse duration and a long preset time can be used to test between instantaneous tripping and heat run on cables or other devices.
• Serial Port: The PI-5000 Gen2 has a standard serial port that may be connected to a printer, computer, or other devices to print or store time and current values of test results in ASCII format.
• Prioritizing Safety: An internal voltage sensor automatically configures the AC control power section to be energized only when properly configured for the applied voltage. The PI-5000 Gen2 also provides temperature protection for the output bus and the vernier Powerstat to ensure that neither temperature exceeds a safe operating level.

Applications

This test set will test low-voltage, molded-case, and metal-clad, direct acting AC circuit breakers from various manufacturers. The test set can also be used for high current applications like ratio transformers and heat runs. Using SCR’s, the PI-5000 Gen2 eliminates closing time errors. Initiation at the zero crossover point eliminates DC offset in the current waveform and results in accurate, repeatable test results even with short-duration currents for high-speed solid-state or electromechanical trip devices.
