  • Measures Main/PIR contact timings, bounce, non simultaneity of contacts and auxiliary contact timings.
  • Analyses contact travel characteristics for speed, insertion, contact gap, over-travel and rebound with suitable transducer and mounting fixture.
  • Records trip and close coil current characteristics.
  • Registers the signature of Dynamic Contact Resistance of main and arcing contacts, of all the 6 breaks simultaneously.
  • Displays settings, graphical and tabulated test results.
  • Prints test report in graphical format with test header and calculation footer, on external printer(not supplied).
  • Incorporates powerful and practical Windows™ based Test Manager Software to control & operate instrument; view, analyze and handle graphical test data on a laptop at high resolution.
  • Selects pre-programmed setup parameters and pass/fail limits through software.
  • Connects to CB with wear resistant test leads of sufficient length, having quick-fit connectors, suitable for EHV circuit breakers.
  • Moves easily within switchyard as the set can be mounted on a specially designed Trolley having large wheels & mains supply distribution board.
  • Travel – For evaluating travel characteristics of operating mechanisms, SCOPE offers rotary and linear resistive travel transducers with universal / specially designed fixtures to suit variety of CBs available.
  • DCRM module captures dynamic variation in contact resistance of main & arcing contacts during breaker operation.
  • Each DCRM module has in built independent isolated, rechargeable battery based 100A DC source.
  • The result is plotted in graphical form on the software screen, which can be further analysed for finding parameters such as contact gap, total insertion, arcing tip insertion, main and arcing contact resistance values etc.
  • Additional optional modules are available to measure PIR value and for monitoring Station DC (Coil voltage), Motor current or other static parameters through configurable Analog channels.
