F8000 MODULES
CommandLow-Density Logic I/OHVA VoltageHVA CurrentBattery SimulatorAccessories
Command Module
The interface for central communication and control of F8000-series Power System Simulators
The Command Module is embedded with each F8000-series chassis and controls all instrument operations from Protection Suite and RTS software. Communication and synchronization functions are hosted, and instrument status is displayed. Interconnections to other F8000-series instruments are supported and IEC 61850 standard-based protection scheme testing options are available.
Low-Density Logic I/O Module
Four pairs of programmable inputs and outputs with intelligent LED ports
The Low-Density Logic I/O Module provides four pairs of programmable input/output ports with LED light rings that indicate port assignments and changes in monitored voltage, current and contact states.
Use Protection Suite and RTS software to set monitoring parameters in the Low-Density Logic I/O Module and to assign colors to the LEDs.
An optional DC Meter upgrade is available for testing transducers and Class 2 meters.
HVA Voltage Module
Two-channel phase voltage with intelligent LED ports
The HVA Voltage Module provides two 150 V sources at 150 VA or one 300 V source at 300 VA with both channels connected in parallel. The available Convertible Mode option converts outputs of the HVA Voltage Module into high-VA/low-range current sources.
Use Protection Suite and RTS software to set source configurations in the HVA Voltage Module and to assign colors to the LEDs. The LED light rings indicate placements of test lead connections for voltage sources and will alert if source issues are detected.
HVA Current Module
Two-channel phase current with intelligent LED ports
The HVA Current Module provides two 25 A sources at 150 VA each. When both sources are connected in parallel, 50 A at 300 VA continuous power is produced. Transient mode extends power and range up to 90 A at 300 VA for 30 seconds. DC output is 50 A.
Use Protection Suite and RTS software to set source configurations in the HVA Current Module and to assign colors to the LEDs. The LED light rings indicate the placements of test lead connections for current sources and will alert if source issues are detected.
Battery Simulator
Each F8000-series chassis includes a battery simulator with a power range of 6 to 300 volts at 90 watts.
