The Hardware consists of separate units mounted into a standard 19” control cubical. What units to be mounted depends on the requirements and what type of breakers are going to be tested. Important to know is that the system is expandable and subject to easy adaptation. Some basic sets of the most commonly used configuration of BTS2000 can be found here.
CM50 Control Unit
The control unit CM50 is a microprocessor-controlled unit used for control of external devices and data acquisition of contacts and transducers. The control unit performed specified tasks by software commands from the PC. It is connected to the PC by a serial communication link, type RS232.

IU25 Interface Unit
The Interface unit consists of functions to distribute voltage from the power supplies, such as coil motor and auxiliary voltage. Also it has an integrated security circuit that allows for connection of security switches around the testing area.
Relay functions for required signals is also provided.
The interface unit also distributes voltage to the units mounted in the BTS2000A cabinet. The Power supply for the equipment is 3x400VAC+N+PE.
PU2501/PD2501 Power Unit for coil supply
(also used as motor supply for middle voltage range breakers) PU2501 is a combined AC/DC power unit specially designed for testing of circuit breakers. PD2501 is for DC supply only. They are able to withstand high current peaks and intermittent overloads.
Four separate outputs, of witch one is directly connected to the output circuits and the other three are connected via electronic trigger devices, are available (Can be expanded to eight). The trigger outputs are intended for coil supply and the direct output is for motor supply. The AC voltage output is of low drop transformer type.
The DC output is of high capacitance type and can supply peaks of several kilo amperes, because of that the trigger device outputs are internally current limited to protect them selves. An interlock function is also included.
