-2--2-

PTS 400.3 PLUS Three-phase, fully automatictest system with class 0.02 reference stan-dard and integrated three-phase current andvoltage source available in two versions.

Two modules allowing combinations formany applications

For many years, electricity utility companies haverealized the importance of performing measure-ments and tests, on-site, at the metering installa-tion. MTE continually supplies and develops newand improved products that reduces and simpli-fies the on-site efforts. The test system PTS 400.3PLUS with enhanced functionality and high mea-surement accuracy does not only determine theaccuracy of meters, but also provides additionalinformation relating to the conditions at therespective mains points.

The PTS 400.3 PLUS system consists of the refe-rence standard PRS 600.3 of class 0.02 and thepower source module PPS 400.3, which is availa-ble in two versions of up to 12Aor 120A.

The reference standard PRS 600.3 may be sim-ply and quickly connected with the power sourcemodule PPS 400.3 thereby producing a portabletest system with 1 up to 3 positions. Operation ofthe system may begin immediately after connec-ting both modules.

In this combination, the reference standard con-trols the source via blue-tooth.

Due to the extended power quality analyzerfunctions of the reference standard PRS 600.3,the test system can also be used to resolvedisputes at contractual applications, for statis-tical surveys, including EN 50160 reporting, andfor online troubleshooting of different kind ofpower quality problems.

The power source module, if used without thePRS 600.3, can be controlled via the serialinterface RS 232 C. It is therefore possible toeasily apply the source module unchanged in astationary test system.

The operator can not only perform single teststeps but also can easily predefine and store auto-matic test runs using the sequence function andadvanced database functions of the system.

The overall functionality is comparable to modernstationary meter test systems.

In case the touch operation is not possible (e.g. ifgloves must be worn for safety reasons at on-sitetests), the system can also be operated with theintegrated pen on the right side of the housing.

The two displays with identical graphical userinterface can be used to control the referencestandard and the power source each with a sepa-rate display or they can be used to show differentfunctions of the same unit on two displays.

The same functionality is available on both sides,left and right, freely selectable by the user.

Operation of the system

The PRS 600.3 is the operation interface for thetwo system modules of the Portable Test SystemPTS 400.3 PLUS and allows direct operation ofthe reference standard and / or one of the availa-ble portable power source modules PPS 400.3-12Aor PPS 400.3-120A.

The operation concept is based on touch screenoperation with self-explaining functional softwarebuttons.

Modules

Further the system can alternatively also be com-fortably operated with a keyboard or a mouse con-nected to the USB type A connector of thePRS 600.3. This is especially useful, if the systemis operated in the laboratory.

Modules

PRS 600.3 Portable peference standard

The reference standard of the modular system isbased on the well-known digital measurementvalue retrieval, fast analogue-digital conversionand calculation of the values using fast signal pro-cessors. As opposed to the past, reference stan-dards are not only used as standards for metertesting in a stationary meter test installation, butpredominantly in the field for the measurement ofall main parameters.

In order to meet these requirements, the PRS600.3 offers the following main functions:

Simultaneous testing of up to three meters orregisters of a multi-functional meter

Internal memory for measurement results andcustomer data

Vector diagram, harmonics spectrum, waveform and rotary field display for analysis of themains conditions

Active, reactive and apparent energy measur-ement in three-wire or four-wire circuits withintegrated error measurement and pulse out-put for energy

Voltage measurement

Current measurement, direct and with currenttransformer clamps up to 3000Aor sensors forvoltage and current measurements on high vol-tage potential

Active, reactive and apparent power measure-ment per phase and sum of all phases

Phase angle, power factor and frequency mea-surement

Burden measurement and ratio test of PTsand CTs

Power quality recording and analysis regar-ding standard IEC 61000-4-30

PPS 400.3 Portable power source module

The PPS 400.3 portable power source modulemay be used as enhancement of the referencestandard PRS 600.3 as well as independently.Following the different demands of the custo-mers, this source is available in two versions, forthe supply of transformer meters with a maximumcurrent up to 12 A as well as a wider range sourceup to 120 A.The source is designed to generateany network independent of its supply voltage,e.g. 3-phase 4-wire Y or , 3-phase 3-wire, 1-phase 2-wire or others. Generation of harmonicsin both voltage and current circuits as well as ripp-le control signals are available.

The power source module may be connected tothe reference meter with little effort. The controlsoftware automatically recognises the module. Itmay therefore immediately be put into operation,and automatic measurement of a load curve ofthe meter may begin.

Δ

Controlling the source is carried out in a similarway as to control the reference meter, by use ofone of the PRS 600.3 touch displays or via RS232 C.

The PPS 400.3 source is developed such as to befully operational without the reference meter.

Communication and operation

The portable reference standard PRS 600.3 canbe operated on a stand-alone basis or togetherwith the portable power source PPS 400.3module, which is in this application controlled viablue-tooth.

The innovative technology allows easy and com-fortable measurements and tests on site even indifficult accessible situations.

The reference standard and the portable powersource can be arranged separately in differentways for optimal connections to the installation.

The PPS400.3 module is operated and controlledfrom distance in such a configuration.
