The synthetic power test field is available in the elenia for investigations on circuit breakers.
The synthetic power test field comprises a high current and a high voltage test circuit, which are used in combination or individually. The high-current circuit generates a 10 ms half-wave and the high-voltage circuit generates a transient recovery voltage. Here test objects can be loaded with up to 63 kA (RMS) and 140 kV (TRV). The relevant measurement data such as current, voltage and contact distance are recorded by a transient recorder.
The tested specimens are circuit breakers in a removable vacuum vessel. This custom-made product enables the optical and thermographic examination of the switching contacts used.
