Dielectric rods tester for hot sticks
Testing live-working hot sticks to EN 60832 or ASTM F711 means applying 100 kV AC for every 300 mm of stick length and watching each stick's current during the test. The MSP-100R tests four hot sticks at once at 100 kV every 300 mm and up to 3 m long, per EN 60832:2010, ASTM F711 and IEEE 978; it does so with two 50 kV transformers connected in antiphase, which reduce the size and weight of the equipment, corona and ozone formation, and its microprocessor control displays the current of all four positions and prints reports.
Product Summary
- Testing according to EN 60832: 2010, ASTM F711, IEEE 978.
- Simultaneous testing of four rods.
- The use of two transformers of 50 kV, connected in antiphase, to obtain 100 kV per 300 mm of the rod length, allows to significantly reduce the size and weight of the equipment, as well as to reduce the level of carona and ozone formation in the air.
- The equipment can be mounted in a car or trailer of suitable size.
- Additionally, dielectric covers can be tested using stands CTS-1, CTS-2 and CTS-3.
Product Description
Dielectric Rods Tester MSP-100R is designed for:
Testing of insulating equipment:
- Hot sticks - 100kV every 300mm, up to 3m length;
Allows Testing under EN 60832: 2010, ASTM F711, IEEE 978.
Three-year warranty
All adjustments are controlled via menu-operated microprocessor-controlled system. With selection of test voltage, current limit, and test time. Microprocessor control provides the user with menu-based system. This eliminates any chance for operator error and provides an extremely fast changeover from one class to another. Current readings of all positions are conveniently displayed on control panel, and peak current during the test is saved on screen, for easy record keeping.
MSP-100R key data
- Hot sticks: the MSP-100R tests four rods simultaneously at 100 kV AC (50 Hz) every 300 mm of length, up to 3 m (3,000 mm).
- Standards: testing per EN 60832:2010, ASTM F711 and IEEE 978.
- High voltage: two transformers of 50 kV AC (50 Hz) and 50 mA maximum each, connected in antiphase to obtain 100 kV per 300 mm of rod.
- Size and environment: the antiphase connection significantly reduces the size and weight of the MSP-100R, as well as corona and ozone formation in the air.
- Control: menu-driven microprocessor to set test voltage, current limit, test time and voltage rise rate, with report printing.
- Readings and records: current readings of the four positions are displayed on the control panel and the peak current of the test is saved on screen.
- Mounting and expansion: the MSP-100R can be mounted in a car or trailer of suitable size, and dielectric covers can be tested using stands CTS-1, CTS-2 and CTS-3.
- Warranty: three years.
Frequently asked questions
How many hot sticks does the MSP-100R test at once, and how long can they be?
Four sticks simultaneously, up to 3 m long, at 100 kV AC per 300 mm. The MSP-100R tests per EN 60832:2010, ASTM F711 and IEEE 978 and displays the current of each position on the control panel.
Can the MSP-100R be carried in a vehicle for field testing?
Yes, it can be mounted in a car or trailer of suitable size. Its two 50 kV transformers connected in antiphase significantly reduce the size and weight of the equipment, as well as corona and ozone formation.
