Phenix HC1 Portable High Current Test Set

Portable High Current Test Set (1000A max output)

• Output current level can be easily pre-set
• Memory feature of the current meter holds the peak current value until reset by operator
• Combines a variable high current output with appropriate controls and instrumentation

These High Current Test Sets are built for field or shop use. Designed using the latest technology; these units combine a variable high current output with the appropriate controls and instrumentation. The test set is ideal for testing thermal, magnetic, and solid-state motor overload relays as well as molded-case circuit breakers and ground fault trip devices. They can also be used in many other applications requiring a high current source.

The HC1 provides a short duration output of 1000 amps through a typical 150 ampere molded-case circuit breaker when an instantaneous trip element must be tested.

The unique auto-sensing feature makes these testers easy to operate. Sensing leads, which operate on either normally-open or normally-closed devices, are connected to the test object. The output current level can be easily pre-set. When the output is initiated, the pre-set output current locks on and the timer starts. When the test set senses a change in state of the test object (NO to NC or NC to NO), the current shuts off and the timer stops. For instantaneous trip tests, the memory feature of the current meter holds the peak current value until reset by the operator.
