    Application Note - High Current With 3 CP CB2

    Uploaded by

    Insan Aziz
    This document describes how to generate currents up to 7000A for testing purposes using one CPC100 device and 3 CP CB2 current boosters. Connecting the devices in parallel allows generating higher currents than any one device could produce alone. Specifically, one can achieve currents of 500-2000A using just the CPC100, 2000-4500A in Range 1 or 3500-5000A in Range 2 using one additional booster, and 4000-7000A in Range 2 using two additional boosters connected in parallel. Safety precautions must be followed when operating at the higher voltages in Range 2.

    Generation of High Currents with the

    CPC100 and 3 CP CB2 Current Boosters

    Purpose:
    This application note describes how to make the test setup to generate currents up to 7000A with one
    CPC100 and 3 CP CB2 current boosters.
    Introduction:
    With the CPC 100 and the CP CB2 current booster you can generate currents up to 2000A. Sometimes it
    is required to generate more current for example to test CT's with nominal currents above 2000A.
    With 3 CP CB2 current boosters it is possible to power out up to 7000 A.
    Safety instructions:
    Before starting the test the CPC100, the CPC booster box and the 3 current boosters must be grounded
    properly.
    The current boosters must be mounted close to the DUT (Device Under Test). Take care that they are
    mounted safely and cannot fall down.
    Operating the test with "RANGE 2" means that the CP CB2(1) and CP CB2(2) are connected to 400 V AC
    on the primary side. The supply voltage for each current booster is therefore 200V, which is more than
    they are specified for. Therefore do not exceed the test time longer than 15 seconds to avoid the
    destruction of the current boosters.
    If you measure CT's, all other secondary terminals must be short circuited to avoid high voltages on the
    terminals.

    Test Setup
    One CP CB2 is controlled through the CPC100. This is the only current booster where you can adjust the
    current. The second current booster - CP CB2(1) - and the third - CP CB2(2) - are connected to the CPC
    Booster Box. The output current of these boosters depends on the load and the supply voltage. The
    supply voltage can be 240 V (Range 1 phase to N) and 415 V (Range 2 phase to phase). You can
    connect one booster, two boosters or three boosters in parallel to the DUT. Because you do not know the
    primary injected current you need a reference CT (Ref CT) to measure it.
    The CPC Booster Box must be supplied with a three-phase system inclusive neutral and at least 32A.
    Note: Due to the high current also on the primary side of the CP CB2 it sometimes occurs that the
    fuse in the CPC Booster Box trips. By the factory tests the maximum current could only powered
    out for 5-10 seconds.

    1.1 Current Ranges


    The current ranges depend on the connection and the connected load and can therefore not be
    guaranteed. The following current ranges are reference values which were determined during tests in
    laboratory.

    1.1.1 Currents from 500 2000A


    For this range you can use only the CPC100 together with the CP CB2. The CPC Booster Box is switched
    off.

    CT)
    Use a Quick Card and select the output range "CB2 2000A". Select "Sync to V1 AC" and for the
    measurement select "I out" and "CT"
    Connect the secondary side of the DUT to an additional ammeter

    Executing the test:


    Switch on the CPC Booster Box and read the actual primary current on the CPC100 (Measurement
    "CT")
    Switch off.
    If you need more current add the additional current with the CPC100.
    First switch on the CPC Booster Box and then the CPC100. Now read the actual primary current
    (Measurement "CT") and set your primary current with the CPC100 to the requested value.
    Read the secondary current of the DUT at the ammeter
    Calculate the ratio
