Electrical Durability
Automated test equipment designed to perform Electrical endurance, durability, make break tests, Life tests on Contactor’s with regulated voltage sources on mixed resistive inductive loads to simulate power factors 0.2 to 1 or loads specific to applications like Capacitor banks, Transformers etc.
Mechanical Durability
Automated test equipment designed to perform Mechanical durability/ Life tests on Contactor’s with regulated voltage sources along with monitoring the state of contacts.
Pickup and drop of test and time measurement
A COTS precision Voltage source with communication would be used to apply voltage to the contactor coil and the pickup and drop down voltages can be measured and recorded along with time from supply to closure and no volt to open status of contacts including contact bounce and continuity can be measured and recorded.
Heat run/Temperature rise test setup
Regulated Current source with Temperature, milli volt data logger with multiple additional functions like time totaliser, increase current after set time etc..
factory test setup
This setup is part of the manufacturing line were the Contactor could be loaded and all the parameters like Pickup and Drop off voltage and current, Contact resistance, Contact bounce and tests like Dielectric withstand, insulation resistance could be performed as programmed. This system could be either a manual, semi automatic or fully automated were the Contactor could be loaded from a conveyor loaded into the fixture, conduct all tests and print or Laser mark on the contactor and eject after verification.
Mechanical characterization setup (force Vs linear displacement, torque Vs angular displacement)
This system is a tool to characterize a mechanical part which can be moved or altered by external forces, which is very useful in design and manufacture of electrical switch gear, but not limited this system will be handy for any mechanical characterization and has the same principles of a UTM with more axis and flexibility and custom made for the requirements wereas a UTM is used mostly for measuring the strength of materials.
This system again can also be used for repeat-ability and reproduce-ability tests.
