Programmable Phase Angle Firing
This feature assures precisely repeatable current pulses
with minimal distortion and DC offset. This is achieved
by combining the use of highly reliable SCR’s and
computer-controlled firing system.

Wave Form Display

This feature allows for viewing of the current wave form
injected through the breaker. Detection of DC offset
or contact bounce can be seen. With the use of the
programmable phase angle firing circuit, DC offset may
be corrected by varying the firing phase angle.
