ANSI Standard Burden Sets
Voltage and Current
-
Testing and calibrating instrument transformers often requires standard burdens of reliable accuracy and stability, and burdens that are immune to stray fields and harmonics. The burden sets described below have been carefully designed to meet these requirements.

Product
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.

Man in the Middle Cable
MitM
-
The Man-in-the-Middle Cable (Catalog No. MitM) was created to work with the T4000 and T4350 to enable a technician to use an electric vehicle rather than a very large load emulator to absorb the energy delivered by the DC fast charger during charger testing. It currently comes in 350 Amp CCSI and 200 Amp Tesla/NACS models, each with charging connector holders and digital temperature sensors.

7-Pole Test Switch Protectors
6442 & 6442-C
-
With safety always being a concern while working with electrical boxes, you can depend on TESCO’s Test Switch Protectors (Catalog No. 6442 & 6442-C) to alleviate any uncertainty. This was developed to provide temporary protection of the test switch and to address the rising concern that the terminals of the test switch are exposed while you’re working in the box. The switch protector can prevent incidental contact with live terminals or contact with tools. TESCO’s Test Switch Protectors are constructed of clear, flexible PVC with a voltage rating of 2500V. The switch protector will fit any brand of test switch, regardless of manufacturer, from 4 to 7-pole. TESCO can also develop custom designs of this product to meet unusual test switch configurations.

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:

Precision Multirange Voltage Transformers
WP-36000
-
The WP-36000 Transformer is primarily a laboratory standard. The high degree of accuracy and multiplicity of ranges makes this transformer the standard for precision calibration work. With the aid of this transformer, very accurate determination can be made of the ratio and phase angle characteristics of voltage transformers having ratings from 14,400 to 36,000 volts.

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.
