The real goal is to ensure you can buy a relay test set that’s a good match for your requirements and budget. Relay test sets represent a substantial investment, so there’s little point in spending more than you need on a unit with features you’ll never use. On the other hand, buying a test set that seems inexpensive but can’t readily meet all of your requirements is a false economy.
You’ll either need to replace your relay test kit or rely on time-consuming, uncertain workarounds to perform your protective relay and secondary injection testing, leading to dubious results. That’s why Megger offers such a wide range of relay test unit options. Consider three-phase testing, for example. Most applications require three voltages and three currents, which is enough to simulate most three-phase systems.
But sometimes, a fourth voltage is needed to test, for example, the synchro-check function in complex relays. And for testing transformer differential protection, six currents are needed! Megger offers test sets to cover all these applications, including the SMRT46, which you can configure to supply four voltages and three currents or, alternatively, six currents.
