VABO-80 is designed using advanced engineering technology to test circuit-breaker vacuum bottles up to 80 kV DC. It has fast, easy and accurate measurement features through its user-friendly software. VABO-80 is a battery-powered device (optional feature) that allows users to perform tests even without a power supply during on-field tests.
Users can select the test voltages from 10kV to 80kV DC with step voltages of 1kV, and the user can define the test time from 5 seconds to 2 minutes. The leakage current preset values of VABO-80 are 100 µA, 200 µA and 300 µA. The test can be performed after setting the output voltage and test time with a predefined cutoff for leakage current. After the execution of the test, if the leakage current doesn’t exceed the preset leakage current value, the screen will show “TEST PASSED”. If the leakage current exceeds the preset value, then the voltage will be immediately turned off and shows “TEST FAILED” on the screen. In the case of HV presence, the HV indicator on the device illuminates with an audible tone.
Additionally, VABO-80 can test the integrity of electrical safety gloves by selecting the class of standard. This test evaluates the gloves’ resistance to current leakage. It measures the amount of current that passes through the gloves when they are subjected to a specified voltage. The leakage current should not exceed a certain threshold to ensure the gloves provide adequate insulation.
VABO-80 features a 4.3-inch fairly large TFT colour touch display, which is visible under both bright sunlight and dim light conditions. With the HighTest Data Management Platform (DMP Software), users can analyse and manage measurement results on PCs. Operators can easily print the measurement results with the 2.25-inch built-in printer of VABO-80. The results can also save to a USB flash drive or the device’s internal memory. Multilanguage capability and user-friendly operation menu make it easy to control VABO-80. VABO-80 is a lightweight, compact and rugged device with the protection of IP67 (case closed), which makes it perfect for field tests.
WHY WE NEED TO TEST A VACUUM BOTTLE INTERRUPTER?
Fast and reliable protection is the most important in case of any faults occurring in the electrical power system. Suppose the circuit breaker does not succeed in clearing the fault at the appropriate moment. The resulting accident can be dangerous in terms of both personnel injury and equipment damage and cause heavy losses. Even though circuit breakers can be very reliable, they tend to gather dirt, moisture, and contaminants on the poles and on the exterior surface of the interrupter, which may cause insecurity during operation. Once the air finds its way into the interrupter and leakage starts to appear, the vacuum bottle becomes unreliable. For the mentioned above reasons and more, Vacuum bottle interrupters must be tested and maintained to ensure proper operation.
