Vanguard EZCT-2KA Current Transformer Test Set

The EZCT-2KA is Vanguard's third-generation microprocessor-based current transformer test set. The EZCT-2KA can perform the current transformer (CT) excitation test, measure the CT winding resistance and CT current-ratio automatically. All of the EZCT2KA's test leads can be connected to the CT output terminals (X1, X2, X3, X4 and X5), eliminating the need for lead switching during testing. Test voltage output is automatically raised and lowered by the EZCT-2KA without any operator intervention. With up to 2000 Vac.

Vac) can be selected, and then the test voltage is raised and lowered automatically by the EZCT-2KA. The excitation test voltage and current data is collected and stored in the unit's internal memory. Any of the 10 possible combinations of X1 to X5 can be tested since all of the unit's test leads can be connected to all of the CT output terminals at the same time. Up to 10 excitation tests can be stored in one record. Once the test is completed, test results can be printed and excitation curves can be plotted on.

The EZCT-2KA determines the CT current-ratio using the ANSI/IEEE C57.12.90 measurement method. A test voltage is applied on any two terminals of the CT (X1 to X5), and the induced voltage is measured through the CT's H1 and H2 terminals. The CT current-ratio is displayed on the screen and stored in memory. The current ratio measuring range is from 0.8 to 10,000 to 1. The CT winding polarity is displayed as a "+" sign (in-phase) or a "-" sign (out-of-phase) and is annotated with the phase angle in degrees.
