CT Ratio/Burden Tester
1047
-
TESCO’s new CT Ratio/Burden Tester (Catalog No. 1047) is a lightweight, portable and highly accurate in-service test set to assist in finding lost revenue by testing the accuracy of your meter circuits. The Tester can help determine if there are installations errors, loose connections, incorrect ratios, resistance buildup, open CT’s, or manufacturers defects. The CT Ratio/Burden Tester measures and displays the primary and secondary current of the CT under test, and the ratio of the currents. All test data is stored in the internal memory and easily uploaded to a PC.

Uniload Voltage Transformer Test Set
2J6
-
The Type 2J6 Knopp Uniload Voltage Transformer Test Set consists of three major parts: When the Knopp Precision Transformer in the 2J6 set is compensated for, and used with, a secondary burden of 15 volt-amperes, for example, the ratio of this precision transformer is well within 0.02% and the phase angle is well within 2 minutes. The transformer, in common with other Knopp Precision Multirange Transformers, is wound so that it has practically the same ratio and phase angle accuracy on all ranges.

AMI Meter Farms
-
Do you have new AMI meters going into the field? Or have you already deployed your new meters, but will have firmware upgrades soon? Allow us to introduce the TESCO Meter Farm, our newest offering to support your AMI Meter Deployment. The Meter Farm powers up banks of meters and runs a current load through each meter. TESCO Meter Farms are designed to serve as a cost effective method for testing communication, functionality and firmware upgrades from your meter manufacturer(s). The Meter Farm can be used as part of the qualification process prior to deployment, but has been more popular as a post deployment tool to allow large scale testing of all new releases of firmware over hundreds or even thousands of meter points prior to upgrading the entire system. The Meter Farm can also be used to perform long term testing for new hardware releases prior to introducing later generation meters into the field. As with all of our products, the TESCO Meter Farm is built with the tradition of reliability and ruggedness.

Burden Set – Current
BSC-102
-
The industry has recognized the actual load (burden) on CTs is lower than the standard ANSI burdens allow. So a new IEEE Specification (IEEE C57.13.6) accommodates that fact by introducing two new burdens and two new accuracy classes. This new specification address “High Accuracy”CTs.

Meter Site Analyzer
6330
-
Need an all-in-one field test kit? TESCO’s Meter Site Analyzer is the most versatile and complete tool for testing the entire functionality of transformer-rated metering installations in a convenient, portable, and ULTRA lightweight kit—only 17.8 lbs! As a utility, the vast majority of revenue comes from large customers who have transformer-rated services. At transformer rated sites the opportunity for something to go wrong is much greater than at a self-contained site. Studies have shown that at transformer-rated sites, the vast majority of issues are related to wiring, CTs, PTs and other issues. If you want to be sure that the customer is billed correctly and you are not losing revenue, you must test the whole site, not just the meter. TESCO’s all-in-one 6330 Meter Site Analyzer gives you the most versatile site testing tool available in a small, lightweight package. No other test system has the functionality of:

IEC Standard Burden Sets (Current)
IEC Burden Sets
-
Testing and calibrating current transformers often requires standard burdens of reliable accuracy and stability, and burdens that are immune to stray fields and harmonics. These burden sets have been carefully designed to meet these requirements. They also provide the standard burdens required for the testing of current transformers for metering service, and for the testing (within the current rating provided by the sets) of current transformers for relaying applications, all as called for by IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) Publication 185: 1987.
