Product Specifications

Main Output

The main output on the unit has two taps, allowing the selection of output voltages up to 18V and output currents up to 50A.
Range Continuous 5 minutes 1 minute  
3.5V 16A 32A 50A  
18V 4A 8A 12A  
The above intermittent on times must be followed by an off time of 15 minutes, and are based on an ambient
temperature of 25°C.

Metering
The output is metered by a digital true RMS system with a memory ammeter - whenever the timer stops and the
output is switched off, the current reading is held on the display. The current output from each phase is shown
simultaneously on the display.
 
Range Resolution Trip Current Accuracy  
5.000A 0.001A 5.25A ±0.6% of reading +5 digits  
20.00A 0.01A 21A ±0.6% of reading +5 digits  
50.00A 0.01A 52.5A ±0.6% of reading +5 digits  
A current trip is automatically set to 105% of full scale of the current metering range to protect the device under test.

Auxiliary Metering Inputs
An auxiliary metering input is provided which is able to measure RMS voltage or current. In addition the
frequency of the external input may be measured, and the phase measured between any of the phase outputs and the auxiliary metering input.

Setting Range Resolution Accuracy  
Volts AC 270V 0.1V ±0.7% of reading +5 digits  
Amps AC 5.000A 1mA ±0.7% of reading +5 digits  
Phase ±180° 0.1° ±3°  
Frequency 20 to 1000Hz 0.1Hz ±0.2% of reading +1 digits  
The current input is protected by a F6.3A fuse.
 
Auxiliary Output
A single phase isolated auxiliary output is provided on the 50A-3PH with a maximum rating of 33VA.
Range Maximum VA Output Current  
110V 33VA 300mA  
230V 33VA 150mA  

Lead Set specifications

The 50A-3PH is supplied with a lead set including the following items:
6 x 3m 4mm2 output leads terminated in 4mm plugs.
2 x 3m 2.5mm2 auxiliary leads terminated in 4mm plugs
2 x 0.5m 2.5mm2 link leads terminated in 4mm plugs
The lead set is supplied in a plastic carrying case.

Supply Requirements
The supply voltage requirements for the unit must be specified at the time of ordering. The unit is available for
operation from either a 400V 4 wire supply or 220V 3 wire supply. The optional delta-star supply transformer allows the 400V unit to operate from other supply voltages.
 

Supply option 1:

400V-10%+14% 50/60Hz 3ph 1000VA  

Supply option 2:

220V -6%+14% 50/60Hz 3ph 1000VA  

Timing System
Range 0 to 999.999s  
Resolution 1ms  
Accuracy 0.1% of reading +2 digits (+4 digits in current operated mode)

The contact circuit has an open circuit voltage of 24Vdc and a short circuit current of 10mA. Each contact circuit will auto-select for normally open or normally closed contacts. A DC voltage of 24-240Vdc may also be used to trigger either timer channel.

The following functions are provided:
Mode Timer Start Timer Stop  
Internal Start Press 'ON' Contact 1  
Single Contact Contact 1 Contact 1  
Dual Contact Contact 1 Contact 2  
Current Operated Current >10% of range Current< 10% of range  

Pulse mode is used for setting the current level in devices sensitive to heating, and allows current to be injected for 600ms and the current recorded.

Current operated mode operates on one output phase (selectable). The output is automatically switched off at the end of the test to safeguard the relay under test.

RS232 Communication Port
An RS232 port is provided to allow connection of a printer.

Protection and Safety
The unit is protected by electronic over current and duty cycle trips on the outputs, thermal monitoring on the
power components, and fuses on the input and regulator. An earth terminal is provided for connection to a local
earth.
The unit is designed to comply with BSEN61010, and is CE marked.
