Current injection test system

September 2010 Maintenance, Test & Measurement, Calibration

Oden AT, a development of Programma’s portable and dependable Oden current supply unit, incorporates many new and sophisticated features.

It is a versatile portable test set that can generate currents ranging from a few hundred to about 21 000 A. The system consists of a control unit together with one, two or three current units. There are three different versions of the current unit: the standard current unit S provides high current; the extra-winding current unit X has an outlet for high current and an outlet for high voltage; and the high-current unit H provides extra high current. Assembly and connection is easy and takes less than a minute.

Applications include primary current injection and breaker testing, testing current transformers, polarity testing, resistance and impedance testing, testing grounded systems, safety-ground devices and heat runs.
