Digital transducer
CBA 2000 can perform the motion analysis of the circuit
breaker using digital transducers
The characteristics are:
. Up to three digital transducer inputs
. Input type: RS 422 - Single ended for incremental encoders with
quadrature signal

. Power supply: 5 V and 12 V supplied by the CBA2000.
Analog inputs Possibility to use an external power supply up to 24 V
. Number of analog inputs: 8 (10 Optional) . Connections: 3 multiple connectors on the CBA 2000 front panel
. 2 (4 optional) dedicated to Open and Close coil currents
. 1 dedicated to Dynamic and Static Resistance Measurement First trip test (with optional clamps)
. 3 for travel transducers or analog signals Besides the standard off-line timing mode, the CBA 2000 also

Programmable sequences waveform timing can be mesured on the waveforms. It is also
possible to record the open current profile with a DC clamp, and
The user can select the following Open and Close sequences: also to monitor the auxiliary contacts. The first time detection
Open; Close; Open-Close; Close-Open; Open-Close-Open. is important because, if the CB has been in service for a long
period in close position, the (first) trip time can be considerably
slow because of friction.
In the normal test conduction, the CB is opened before
connecting to the poles; so, the first movement friction is lost.

Test set control

The control is local, via graphical display, keypad and pushbutton
for menu selection: no PC control is necessary. It is available the
local interface in several languages: English, Spanish, French,
Italian, Turkish.
