HC-2
Portable High-current Test Set
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. They can be used in many applications requiring a high current source.
Product Specifications
The HC2 is capable of a 2000 amp instantaneous output. Sufficient current is available for testing the time delay characteristics of motor overload relays and molded case circuit breakers.
Circuit breaker test set. 600 Amps continuous, 2000 Amps overload.
The unique auto-sensing feature makes the HC2 easy to operate. Sensing leads, which operate on either normally-open or normally-closed (non-energized) devices, are connected to the test object auxiliary or non-energized contacts.
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 auxiliary contacts (NO to NC or NC to NO), the current shuts off and the timer stops. If set to sense current, unit will shut current off at approximately 10% of range switch setting of currentmeter when test object goes open.
For instantaneous trip tests, the memory feature of the currentmeter holds the peak current value until reset by the operator.
