For professional circuit-breaker analysis
The SA10 is the circuit breaker timer developed by professionals for professionals. It has a built in micro Ohm meter/Ductor for measuring of static and dynamic resistance of the breaker poles. It only weighs 11,6 kg/26 lbs.

The versatility and precision that this unity offers is without question unchallenged, and it will indeed be your best partner when testing circuit breakers.

Tests in areas with high induction at known problematic substations has proven the SA10 to be the only circuit breaker timer that could withstand these extreme conditions. It's rugged, it's small and highly appreciated by our customers.

Some SA10 features:
- The well known powerful analysing software BTS11 included.
- Built in a small metal carrying case.
- Fully compatible with our factory line test equipment.
- No panel switches, just two push buttons Open and Close.
- Supports both digital and analougue transducers.
- The only field test equipment with a built in micro ohm measuring function.200A!
- Possibillity to use the “first trip” analysing method.
- Weighs only 11,6 kg/26 lb.
- Automatic measurement of coil and motor current/voltage.
- Designed for both offline and online analysis of circuit breakers.
 

Contact Timing.
The contact input modules of SA10 supplies 120 VDC at open contacts and 100 mA at closed. The evaluation logic also distinguishes between a possible preinsertion and the main contact in the same operation. It is also possible to measure the value of the preinsertion resistor with a reference shunt. Timing for both the preinsertion and the main contact is guarantied in any switchyard and at any system voltage.

Number of main contact timing channels: 12(x2)
Number of auxiliary contact channels: 6
(The aux inputs can in environments with low induction also be used as main contact inputs)

Coils and Motor.
Automatic measuring of circuit breaker coil and motor current/voltage. Together with an adjustable power unit it is very easy to perform minimum function voltage test on the coils.

The SA10 uses 1 analogue channel to measure coil voltage and current and 1 channel to measure motor voltage and current. For the coil 35 A AC/DC is possible for continuous measurement, and for the motor 50A AC/DC. However if necessary higher currents will pass for shorter periods.

Motion Measurements.
The SA10 supports both analogue and digital transducers. A wide range of transducer fastenings can also be supplied. Elcon International is the official world wide supplier of transducer fastenings for ABB-Breakers.

Number of digital transducer inputs: 3
Number of analogue transducer inputs: 3

Static and dynamic resistance.
As the only field test equipment on the market with a built in micro ohm meter it is a complete and versatile unit. It generates 200 ADC and the value is autmatically recorded into the system together with your other measurents. In order to view the breaker pole’s exact behavior during an operation the dynamic resistance measurment function offers great diagnostic possibillities.

Analog inputs.
All in all the SA10 has 11 analog inputs, however since our intension is to provide you with a test equipment that is user friendly and circuit breaker oriented they have been preset to handle specific relevant functions such as coil and motor voltages, currents, analog motion transducers etc.
It is of course possible to set most of the inputs to handle other types of related input signals, such as pressure sensors or temperature sensors or any other type of analogue signal that may be relevant.

Communication.
Standars RS232 comunication is default. However, in order to comply with safety regulations a bluetooth comunication kit is available which allows the user to take his laptop pc  and move up to 100m(328ft) away from the test-object.

Switch sync breakers
Upon switching for example capacitor banks, shunt reactors and power transformers it is common to use a switch-sync relay for the cb. The SA10 allows for full analysis of the point-on-wave switching technology.

First-trip or online analysis.
In order to fully evaluate the condition of the circuit breaker mechanism, the SA10 provides inputs to test the breaker during an online operation. By doing that you can capture the “First Trip” of a breaker that has been stationary for a long time and by that display how the breaker would perform in an actual fault situation. Both trip and close operations are possible online.
