MTS-1720 Two-Channel Current Source
Condensed Specifications

NOTE: This product has been superceded by the MTS-5000 Protective Relay Test System

Power Supply
Single phase 105-130 VAC @ 15A max (or 210-250 VAC @8A max when ordered with option 03), factory set, 47-63 Hz


Outputs

Two current channels:

  • 0-30A rms, 400 VA maximum, 44V rms maximum

    Note: Maximum obtainable current will vary inversely with load impedance.

Output frequency

  • Power line (frequency and phase locked)
  • 2nd through 10th harmonic of power line

Variable

  • 40 - 80 Hz (0.001 Hz resolution, 0.01% accuracy)
  • 80 - 800 Hz (0.01 Hz resolution, 0.02% accuracy)
  • 25 Hz +/-0.01% accuracy

Phase control

  • Phase between current and any voltage is adjustable from 0 through 360 degrees
  • Adjustment resolution: 0.25 degrees

Metering

AC Current measurements:

  • Measures actual output current
  • True RMS responding, autoranging
  • Current scales (approx): 0-8.2, 8.2-32.8
  • Accuracy: +/-0.5% of reading +/-0.2% of scale
  • Measures line and phase currents

Phase measurement:

  • Measures phase between monitored voltage and output current
  • Accuracy: +/-0.5 degrees
  • 0-359.9 deg. or 0 - +/-180 deg. display modes
  • Selectable V-leads-I or I-leads-V measurement reference


Static/Dynamic Testing capabilities

  • Phase to ground faults
  • Phase to phase faults
  • Three phase faults
  • Two phase to ground faults
  • Phase, frequency, voltage and current stepping
  • Phase, frequency, voltage and current ramping with adjustable rate of change.
  • Presettable fault durations, 0 - 99.9999 sec
  • Programmable auto-reclose time delay and reclose-into-fault events
  • Programmable breaker time
  • Three-pole and single-pole tripping
  • Programmable PT location simulation
  • Programmable fault incidence angle (point-on-wave)
  • Remote end trip simulation


Fault Playback

  • Ability to accept fault data from fault recorders (in COMTRADE format), EMTP simulation outputs, or user defined waveforms
  • Sample rate: Programmable 2 - 30 kHz
  • Record length:
    • 60000 samples per each of 2 channels
  • Resolution:
    • 14 bit mode: 14 bit dynamic + 16 bit scaling
    • 8 bit mode: 8 bit dynamic + 12 bit scaling
  • Peak output levels: +/-42A


Physical Characteristics

  • 19"W x 6"H x 18"D (48.3cm W x 14.7cm H x 45.7cm D)
  • Weight: 40 lbs (18.2 kg)
  • Built-in carry handle/tilt stand


Options

  • Option 03: 240V, 50/60 Hz line input
