AC test system with variable frequency

For on-site testing of GIS

Testing of withstand voltage at GIS can be performed using the AC voltage test system with variable frequency once installed on-site. The test system operates in a frequency range from 20 Hz to 300 Hz and complies with the requirements according to IEC 60517 and IEC 62271-203.

 

Test methods:

The WRVG G-type test system can be directly flanged to the test object. The high-voltage reactor is SF6-insulated and features a high output voltage and has a compact, lightweight design. The test system and test object become a closed system with a low PD background noise level when directly flanged. This feature makes the model ideally suited for sensitive PD measurements.

In case of the WRV M-type test system, the test object is connected to the test system via a bushing. There is an external air insulation system on the high-voltage reactor and the reactor features a modular design. Several reactors can be connected in series or parallel to achieve higher test voltages or power.

 


The test system can be transported in a container without taking up much space, or it can be set up on a trailer.
