Megger MCT1605 Ratio and Polarity Test Set

Megger MCT1605 Multi-Tap Automatic Current Transformer

Saturation, ratio, polarity, demagnetizing, and insulation tests on current transformers can be carried out automatically or manually using the Megger MCT1605 test set, a portable, sturdy, and lightweight device. For automated testing of single and multi-ratio CTs, the MCT offers precise instrumentation and a microprocessor-controlled variable voltage output.

The MCT1605’s precision instrumentation and storage, along with its microprocessor-controlled output voltage, save testing times and boost efficiency.

One button automated test: All knee points, saturation, polarity and deviation, winding resistance, insulation resistance, and burden are tested during demagnetization on multi-ratio CT scans.

• Displays multiple instantaneous Saturation Curves with Knee Point
• Integrated 1 kV DC insulation test system
• Color daylight viewable graphical display
• “Save & Print Later” with USB stick
• Fast data entry using full QWERTY keyboard
• 1600 VAC Saturation Test Voltage
• Automatic or manual testing selectable

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Direct Connection to Multi Ratio CT’s – To avoid lead changes needed to test all interwinding CT ratios, saturation curves, and knee points, the MCT1605 will connect directly to every tap on multiratio CTs. With a single button press, the MCT1605 will test every programmed ratio.
• Large Display – The user is given instant access to easily readable test findings, including a depiction of the CT saturation curve, on the huge graphical display. Additionally, this display gives the user clear, uncomplicated test results for the ratio and polarity tests.
• CT Saturation, Ratio and Polarity Automated Testing – Testing of CTs is completely automated by the microprocessor-controlled output. CT testing is made simpler and takes less time thanks to this automated testing. The MCT1605 can be used directly for automated testing, or PowerDB Lite can be used.
• CT Demagnetization – A CT may become magnetized during operation and regular testing of the DC winding resistance. The automated CT demagnetization feature of the MCT1605 lowers test time and provides consistent, repeatable test results in addition to accurate Knee Point determination.
• Insulation Test – A 500/1000V insulation test system is included with the MCT1605 to confirm the CT secondary winding and secondary wiring. This guarantees that during high current faults, the secondary insulation will still work and has not deteriorated.
• CT Burden Measurement – The correct connection of the CT secondary load is guaranteed by the CT Burden test. An improperly connected CT load may present a fire risk.
• CT Winding Resistance Testing – The CT Winding Resistance test can help detect any loose connections as well as open or shorted windings.
• Complete CT Testing – A comprehensive CT saturation, ratio, and polarity test is offered by the MCT1605 system. removing the requirement for several test instruments in order to do a CT test. Every test is carried out in accordance with IEEE C57.13.1 test specifications.
• Full QWERTY Keyboard – The field ruggedized full QWERTY keyboard simplifies nameplate data input.
• Test Result Report – Test results can be printed using the optional external printer or uploaded to PowerDB Lite thanks to the MCT1605’s ability to store whole test files in an intuitive, adaptable format. These choices offer a straightforward, comprehensive, and user-friendly method of storing more than 200 test results and saturation curves. The MCT1605 can be used to catalog and save all test results.
• High Voltage Warning Indication – The output of the MCT1605 is capable of producing a high voltage. Both the MCT1605 and the PowerDB Lite interface emit a high voltage warning before any output test voltage is present in order to protect the user.
• Manual Operation – Additionally, a manual voltage output control knob is included with the MCT1605. If only a spot check is needed, this enables the user to carry out any necessary test manually. This aids in the diagnosis of a malfunctioning CT scan by enabling the user to confirm that test results are accurate.
• Configurable Test Plans – Configurable test plans make it easier to monitor and profile CTs over time by being linked to a particular CT and saved with the findings.
