6.2 CT Saturation Test

6.2.1 Method 1 – Concurrent

Refer to the safety instructions first before use of the equipment.

1. Verify the Power ON/OFF switch is OFF. Power the test set from a suitable source of power (95-

265 V50/60 Hz).

2. Connect the ground wing nut to a suitable ground.

3. On test lead set labeled CT X/S connect the high voltage connector color coded green to the MVCT

high voltage connector that is color coded green and labeled SOURCE Voltage. Use the red

alignment marks on the 2 connectors to properly align them before connecting.

WARNING

There is always the possibility of voltages being induced at the terminals of a test

specimen because of proximity to high voltage energized lines. A residual static voltage

charge may also be present at these terminals. Ground each terminal to be tested with a

safety ground stick, before making connections.
