Maintenance testing of surge protection arresters

Tag: Metal Oxide Surge Arrester

CHECKMASTER from PHOENIX CONTACT Provides Testing of Surge Arresters at the Highest Level.

The CHECKMASTER from PHOENIX CONTACT provides professional support for the maintenance and testing of surge protection equipment in one easy to use unit.

This downloadable brochure explains how CHECKMASTER is an intelligent testing device, because the CHECKMASTER includes the objects of the test component in the arrester test. It has been proven in practice that in order to get exact information regarding the state of an arrester, a purely thermic or mechanical test of individual components is not sufficient. For this reason, CHECKMASTER checks the electrical parameters of the protective plug components.

Taking the tolerance limits into account, an assertion can be made regarding potential pre-damage to the surge arrester. On the display and in the log, such pre-damage is documented with the note: "Tolerance limit reached. Exchange recommended".

To provide a permanent record, CHECKMASTER has an RS-232/C, V-24 interface to which a PC or printer can be connected. The results of the individual arrester tests can thus be printed out and processed in a protocol with date, time and other identification.

The CHECKMASTER provides more functions than this one.

    * Simple test sequence: Selecting, scanning, testing, logging
    * Cost-effective thanks to "on-site testing"
    * Update via Internet, which saves on shipping costs for updating
    * Extendable through modular test cassettes
