Description

Chauvin Arnoux CA6550 10KV/15kV High Voltage Insulation Tester

Insulation Measurement at 15kV, a job for experts

With their test voltages of up to 10 kV/15 kV, the CA6550 and CA6555 megohmmeters are expert tools for testing insulation safely and accurately. As they comply with the most recent recommended practice while taking into account future developments, they are ideal for use on rotating equipment and machinery operating at 12 kV or even higher.

The multiple test modes mean that you can both assess the insulation in qualitative terms by non-destructive testing (“I-limit” and “early-break” modes) and use samples to investigate insulation ageing problems for preventive maintenance purposes (“burning” mode). The C.A 6550 and CA6555 offer quick, effective checking of test execution by displaying the evolution of the test in progress in graphic form.

Thanks to their large storage capacity, complete analysis of the test sessions performed on-site can be carried out with the DataView® software after transferring the data onto a PC.

Chauvin Arnoux CA6550 Comes Supplied With:

  • CAT IV Accessory Bag
  • 2x 3m Safety Leads
  • 1 Guard Test Lead
  • Mains Power Cord
  • 3x Crocodile Clips
  • USB/Optical Communication Cable
  • User Guide
  • DataView Software

Key Features:

  • Wide measurement range from 10 kΩ to 30 TΩ
  • Fixed or programmable test voltage from 40 V to 10/15 kV
  • 5 mA charging current
  • Large backlit LCD screen with digital display, bar graph and R(t)+u(t) , i(t) and i(u) graphs
  • Automatic calculation of DAR / PI / DD /∆R (ppm/V) ratios
  • Multiple test modes: voltage ramp and step with “burning”, “early break” and “I-limit” modes
  • 3 filters to optimize measurement stability
  • Calculation of R at a reference temperature
  • Storage of 80,000 measurements and Real-time Clock
  • Optically-isolated USB communication for transfer onto PC and report generation with the DataView® software

Key Applications:

Thanks to their large measurement range, extending up to 30 TΩ, the CA6550 and CA6555 meet the requirements of companies manufacturing cables, transformers, rotating machinery, and medium-voltage generators, as well as professionals in the Electricity Transmission and Distribution sector.

Insulation measurement at up to 10/15 kV

On LV/HV rotating machines, transformers, cables, high-voltage generators, overhead and underground electricity transmission and distribution networks, surge suppressors/spark arresters, measurement transducers, etc.

2 levels of diagnostics :

  • “Go/No Go” test
  • Qualitative measurement for preventive maintenance purposes:
  • Test with programmable duration

Qualitative measurement:

Polarization Index (PI) ratio, dielectric absorption ratio (DAR) and dielectric discharge (DD) index for testing heterogeneous multi-layered insulation

Fixed voltage mode

Step, Ramp mode:

  • Results independent of temperature, detection of insulant cracking and ageing

I-limit or dI/dt (early-break) trigger modes:

  • Optimization of non-destructive tests (e.g. Varistor testing)

Burning mode (no triggering)

Selectable voltage from 40 V to 10,000 / 15,300 V

Graphic LCD display of R(t) + u(t), I(t), I(u) (useful for testing semi-conductors)

Storage of results for export onto a PC

  • Using analysis software to process the measurement logs.
