CT-8000 S3
Advanced Digital Circuit Breaker Analyzer with Integral 200 A Source
Fully analyze a circuit breaker's performance
The CT-8000 S3 is Vanguard's fourth generation EHV circuit breaker analyzer. The CT-8000 S3 is available with 3 (part number 9103-UC) or 6 contact timing channels (part number 9104-UC). The CT-8000 S3 can fully analyze a circuit breaker's performance by measuring the main contact and resistor contact time, stroke, velocity, over-travel, bounce back and contact wipes. Also, an outstanding feature of the CT-8000 S3 is the ability to perform dynamic resistance tests on circuit breaker contacts. CT-8000 S3 is also capable of performing dual side grounded tests on circuit breakers, enhancing safety and accuracy by grounding both sides of the apparatus during testing and helps to reduce test set up time.
