Multi-purpose coupling unit for CPC 100
CP CU1 is a coupling-unit designated for measurements with the CPC 100 test system on overhead lines and power cables. Typical applications of this world-wide unique system include:
- line impedance and residual compensation factor (k-factor) of overhead lines or power cables
- mutual coupling of parallel lines
- ground impedances of large substations
- step and touch voltages
- coupling of power lines into signal cables
OMICRON's test system makes use of frequency shift techniques for accurate measurements regardless of electrical interference especially line-frequency.
Features & Benefits
- Portable: easy transportation by a single person – heaviest component 29 kg (64 lbs)
- Automated testing and reporting: templates for the most important applications guide through the measurement process, post processing of the results in Microsoft Excel™.
- Simple measurements of complex test objects by using ready-made templates
- Frequency variable measurement principle: allows precise measurements in noisy environments with relatively low power
- Highest safety standards for connection to overhead lines
Applications
- Line impedance and residual compensation factor (k-factor) measurements
- Positive and zero sequence impedance measurements of power lines
- Measurement of mutual coupling of parallel lines
- Measurement of ground impedances of large substations
- Step and touch voltage measurements
- Measurement of coupling impedances between power lines and signal cables
