Product Description
The KV50-200 and KV100-100 are high power, high voltage ac test systems designed for insulation testing. These systems are equally suited to both development and routine testing of electrical insulation systems and plant. Each unit is available in either a low partial discharge version or without a specified discharge level.

The equipment consists of a control unit and a separate oil filled high voltage transformer, linked by 5 metre supply and control cables. The control unit is fitted with a comprehensive range of facilities for control, metering and protection. Both systems include secondary tap metering as standard to ensure accurate voltage metering. The output voltage and current are displayed on large, linear analogue instruments, and a variable electronic trip is provided, allowing the trip current to be set to 10-110% of rated output.

The high voltage transformer is housed in an oil-filled steel tank fitted with swivel castors for mobility. The units use a low-discharge oil-filled bushing for the HV output. Both the KV50-200 and KV100-100 are equally suited to testing capacitive, resistive or inductive test objects.

Low discharge versions of the units are available as an option (KV50-200LD and KV100-100LD), with maximum discharge levels of 1pC and 3pC respectively. The partial discharge levels on the standard KV50-200 and KV100-100 are not specified.

KV50-200 and KV100-100 Specification

Output
The output of the KV series units is by an oil filled high voltage bushing. The earthy end of the HV winding is connected to earth via the current metering circuit and a removable link. The removable link allows equipment supplied by the user to be connected into the earthy end of the HV winding for Tan-d measurements.

If you require a different output voltage test system, please contact us with your specification and we will quote for a custom design.

Metering
The output voltage is metered using a tap on the  HV winding connected to an average-reading dual scaled analogue instrument.

Metering x0.5 Range x1 Range Accuracy  
KV50-200 0 to 30kV 0 to 60kV ±2% of FS  
KV100-100 0 to 50kV 0 to 100kV ±2% of FS  

Load current is metered in the earthy end of the HV winding connected to an average-reading dual scaled analog instrument.

Load Current Metering mA Meter Accuracy  
KV50-200 0 to 240mA ±2% of FS  
KV100-100 0 to 100mA ±2% of FS  


Control
The output voltage is set by a continuously variable output control with a zero volt interlock - the output may only be switched on with the control in the zero position. The output voltage is switched on and off by illuminated push button switches.

The mains supply switch for the unit is a key operated switch. The key is trapped in the switch in the ‘on’ position.
 

Supply Requirements  
KV50-200 230V±10%, 50/60Hz 1ph 11kVA max  
KV100-100 230V±10%, 50/60Hz 1ph 6kVA max  
 

Partial Discharge
The KV50-200LD and KV100-100LD have a specified low partial discharge level, and are suitable for making partial
discharge measurements in the object under test. The partial discharge level of the standard KV50-200 and KV100-100 is not specified.

Device Maximum PD  
KV50-200 Not specified  
KV100-100 Not specified  
KV50-200LD 1pC  
KV100-100LD 3pC  
 

Protection and Safety
The output of the units are protected by variable electronic trips monitoring the output current, and a fixed overcurrent trip on the primary of the output transformer. The variable trip is adjustable in 10% steps between 10% and 110% of the rated output current.

The input and control supplies are protected by fuses.

The KV50-200 and KV100-100 are designed to meet the requirements of BS EN61010. An earth terminal is provided on the transformer which must be connected to a low impedance local earth.
 

Interlock Circuits
Two interlock circuits are provided on the kV series test systems. A zero voltage interlock is fitted which prevents
the HV output being energized unless the output voltage control is in the zero position. A 24Vac external interlock
circuit is also provided, allowing the fitting of external emergency off buttons and test cage door interlocks.
