Soken DAC-PBVC-8 - Electronic Burden for Instrument Transformer
DAC-PBVC-8 is a burden device for error tests of both instrument voltage transformers (VT) and current transformers (CT).
The device creates the “specified burden” by specifying both the “burden VA” and the “Burden power factor” for VT or CT to be tested.
DAC-PBVC-8, a compact, lightweight, and power-saving burden with USB and GP-IB interfaces, can help you to accomplish error tests readily and smoothly.
Technical Explanation
DAC-PBVC-8 is an electronic burden combining the advantages of 2 kinds of method: “real burden method” constructed from resistance and reactance, and “imaginary burden method” created by electronic circuitry (patent no. 3162307). This device allows automatic setting of burden at the infinite resolution, though it is difficult for only the conventional real burden method. Because large capacity burdens can be generated using small-capacity electronic burdens, DAC-PBVC-8 has a compact and lightweight body. Furthermore, since the ratio of control capacity becomes small, a stable burden is realized.
