Multifunctional Primary Testing System

The Raptor is a smart test system designed as the ultimate solution for the main primary test applications required in the commissioning and maintenance of substations, marking the difference with respect to existing equipment now being used. This new generation of Primary Injection Test System makes primary testing easier, faster and more convenient.

The system consists of a Master unit which can be upgraded with up to three Slave sets which add further power capacity to the system. The user is not limited to the power initially determined. In case of more power required, Raptor sets can be added, or what is also very important, be left behind when not needed.

In comparison with the big and heavy traditional variac-based equipment, the Raptor is designed incredibly smaller and lighter than its predecessors, combining a revolutionary high current generation technology, DSP based, with an automatic smart control, in a really transportable set, less than 35 Kg and able to inject up to 15,000 A.

An additional advantage to the easy transport is that sets can be much closer to the devices tested, reducing the length of cables, and a significant decrease in power losses by eliminating intermediate connections, thanks to the new loop-through concept. The sets have in the middle a hole to pass through the cables which are connected to the load, forming in this way the injection circuit

Efficient Power

The modern high-tech design of the Raptor system enables the highest level of injection capability in terms of power and duty cycle, with an ease of use so far unknown in this type of equipment. A touch-sensitive console allows the user to fully monitor and control the test process, including the storage of results and test configuration tools.

The Raptor system provides automatic regulation of the magnitude to be injected, being stable regardless of the load or power supply changes. Current output range is adjusted at all times according to application, taking advantage of the modularity and versatility of the concentration of measurement and control functions in the Raptor Master unit, with a unique capacity to adjust the voltage and current required through the number of spire turns used.

The Raptor also includes a powerful measurement section, extending the number of testing applications.

Raptor system includes factory configured tests, to automatically perform a large amount of the most common testing, just by selecting the appropriate template and start the test. The user has also the possibility to easily make or modify test templates.

The Raptor MS is the master unit of any Raptor configuration. It provides the connection for the touch screen console and can be used as stand-alone for primary test applications that do not require extremely high current/power. When slave units are added, the MS will detect them automatically over the infrared link and will accommodate the system’s parameters with no intervention from the user:

• Regulated high AC current output. Able to inject up to 3.8kA (with 3kVA) indefinitely or 9.5kA (with 2kVA) during 3s. Up to 15kA when combined with one or more slave units.
• Regulated AC auxilliary output. Working in current mode is capable of injecting up to 9 A indefinitely or 35A for 3s. Working in Voltage mode is capable of generating voltage up to 200V AC.
• Voltmeter Input. Ranges: 0.2, 2, 20 or 300Vac/dc (auto or manual). Built-in phase angle meter.
• Ammeter input. Ranges: 0.2, 2 or 20Aac/dc (auto or manual). Built-in phase angle meter.
• Low signal Voltmeter. Ranges: 30, 300 or 3000 mVac/dc (auto or manual). Built-in phase angle meter.
• Binary input: Voltage or dry contact with reversible logic (NO, NC) and auto-detection.
• LEDs: Monitor overload, temperature, status of communications, standby, digital input, power output and power supply.
• IRDA interface: Interconnects Slave units to the Master wirelessly. 

The Raptor WA (WiFi Adapter) allows the remote control of the Raptor System. The control can be done through a computer using WINDOWS O.S. and the application Raptor Control. The Raptor WA must be installed on the Raptor MS unit and allows different communication possibilities either wired (Ethernet) or wireless (WiFi). All the communication between the computer and the Raptor WA are based on the TCP/IP protocol.

The application RaptorControl has the same functionalities and characteristics than the Raptor HH, but conveniently adapted to a Windows based computer.

The Raptor WA is NOT compatible with the Three phase Raptor Systems.

The slave Raptor is visually identical to the master unit but lacks the amplifier, the handheld controller, and the auxiliary input/output panels. Its only mission is to push an additional 5 kVA power from the mains input to the high current pass-through secondary. Up to three slaves can be added for up to 15,000 A with an 18-kVA total injection power. The master unit detects the presence of slaves using infrared communications, so no additional control or power interconnections are required. The user only needs to pass the current conductor across the entire assembly and use it as if it was a single device. As an added benefit of the pass-through secondary technique, the user can easily multiply the compliance voltage by making more than one turn with the current conductor around the entire system. No need to disconnect/reconnect to separate output taps.
