EZCT – Current-Transformer Testing Made Easy

The EZCT is a microprocessor-based, current-transformer test set. This rugged and portable test set can perform the current transformer (CT) excitation, CT current-ratio, and winding polarity tests. Current transformers can be tested in their field-mounted configuration, eliminating the need to remove bushings or current transformers from the host equipment.

Description

Excitation Test
The CT excitation test is performed using the ANSI/IEEE C57.13.1, IEC 60044-1 test method. The EZCT applies an AC variable test voltage (up to 1,200 Vac) to the CT’s secondary windings. The EZCT records and displays the test voltage and excitation current applied to the current transformer during the excitation test. Once tests are completed, up to 10 excitation curves and knee-point voltages of the tests can be plotted on the built-in thermal printer. IEEE-30, IEEE-45, ANSI/IEC 60044-1 (10/50) knee point voltages are also calculated and printed on the test report.

CT Ratio and Polarity Tests
The EZCT determines the CT current-ratio using the ANSI/IEEE C57.12.90 meas- urement method. A test voltage is applied on the CT’s X terminals and the induced voltage is measured across the CT’s H1 and H2 terminals. The current-ratio is dis- played on the screen and stored in memory. The current-ratio measuring range is from 0.8 to 5,000. Winding polarity is displayed as a “+” sign (in-phase) or “-” sign (out-of-phase) and is annotated with the phase angle in degrees.

User Interface
The EZCT features a back-lit LCD screen (4 lines by 20 characters) that is view- able in both bright sunlight and low-light levels. A rugged, alpha-numeric, membrane keypad is used to enter test information and to control the unit’s functions. The test voltage range (50V at 2A, 200V at 2A, 1,200V at 1.5A) is selected with a switch on the control panel. A voltage control knob is used to control the variable test voltage output.

Thermal Printer
A built-in 4.5-inch wide thermal printer can print the current transformer test report and plot the excitation curves.

Internal Test Record Storage Capacity
The EZCT can store up to 128 current-transformer test records in Flash EEPROM. Each test record may contain up to 10 excitation curves, polarity, and current-ratio test data sets. Test records can be recalled and printed on the built-in thermal printer.

Computer Interface
The EZCT can be used as a stand-alone unit or can be computer-controlled via the built-in RS-232C or USB inter- faces. Windows® XP/Vista- based Current Transformer Analysis software is provided with each EZCT. This software can be used to retrieve test records from the EZCT and can also be used to run CT tests from the PC. Tabulated test records can be exported in Microsoft® Excel format.
