Tests are performed in accordance with the following IEC standards: EN 60044-1; EN 60044-2; EN
60044-5; EN 60044-7; EN 60044-8; EN 60076-1, and also in accordance with ANSI/IEEE
C57.13.1.
The following table lists the tests that can be performed on protection relays (FW revision 1.40).

In addition to the above, T2000 can test the impedance and coupling coefficient of overhead lines.
With external options, T2000 can test:
. With the High IDC module, up to 400 A: contact resistances, in the micro-Ohm range;
. With the current booster: primary tests, up to 2000 A; with the very high current booster option, up
to 4000 A.
The basic T2000 function is to generate current and voltages, as requested by the type of test to be
performed, that is selected on the LCD screen by means of the multi-function knob. Test results are
kept in memory, and can be transferred to a PC at a later time, along with settings.

The instrument contains a generator, with six outputs: High AC current; Low AC current; Low DC
current; Current impulses; High AC voltage; Low AC voltage.
The selected output is adjustable and metered on the large, graphic LCD display. With the multi-
purpose knob and the LCD display it is possible to enter the MENU mode, that allows to set many
functions, that make T2000 a very powerful testing device, with manual and semi-automatic testing
capabilities, and with the possibility to transfer test results to a PC via the RS232 interface. These
results can be recorded, displayed and analysed by the powerful TDMS software, which operates
with all WINDOWS versions.
The ease of operation has been the first goal of T2000: this is why the LCD is graphic, and so large.
With it, the dialogue in MENU mode is made easy. Besides, all T2000 outputs relevant to the
selected test are continuously measured, and output values are displayed, with no extra effort to the
operator. Also the show waveform feature can be of help: any doubt about strange measurements,
distortion and so on can be solved.
Additional feature: two meters, current and voltage, with independent inputs, and with High and
Low inputs each, allow measuring CT or VT outputs or any other source.
The instrument is housed in a transportable aluminium box, which is provided with removable
cover and handles for ease of transportation. The picture shows T2000 without the protection
cover.
The following is the list of available options:
1. Power supply 110 V, to be specified at order;

2. Optional high voltage 1200 V, instead of 3000 V (better choice for 5 A rated CT’s), to be
specified at order;
3. T2000E, model with high voltage at 1200 V and the high current output power boosted to
850 VA;
4. Transit cases: moulded plastic or aluminium;

resistances;

3 CHARACTERISTICS
3.1 FOREWORD
T2000 incorporates a generator with six outputs. When an output is generated, also all other outputs
are present at sockets, unless for the high AC voltage, that can be generated only if it is selected and
confirmed by a key.
The generator is made of a variable transformer followed by a transformer. The variable
transformer does not reach the zero position; so, when you are adjusting the output current on a low
burden, the minimum current can be up to 5% of the range. If this is a problem on relay tests, select
the 60 VA power: the current is reduced to one fifth.
3.2MAIN GENERATOR
The main generator has six outputs: High AC current; Low AC current; Low DC current; Current
impulses; High AC voltage; Low AC voltage. Output adjustment is performed via a knob. The
following specification applies to the separate usage of these outputs.

3.2.7 Other features of main outputs
- Zero crossing control. Main AC outputs are generated and stopped as the output waveform is zero.
This implies that in mode ON+TIME the output drops to zero with a delay from 0 to one cycle after
STOP is detected.
- Over-current alarm message.
- Thermal protection: by NTC. The operator is alerted by a message.
- Output adjustment: from less than 5% to 100% of the output.
- Output measurement. The used output is software selected; the selected socket is confirmed by a
light.
3.3 AUXILIARY CONTACT
- Possibility to delay the auxiliary contact switch with respect to test start. Delay range: from 0 to
99.99 s.
- Contacts range: 5 A; 250 V AC; 120 V DC

3.4TIMER
The electronic digital timer has a fully automatic stop, both for make and break of the input, that
can be either a clean contact or a contact under voltage. All selections are menu-driven via the
multi-function knob.
- Characteristics of Stop input:
.. Input connection: two banana sockets;
.. Input may be selected as Normal Open or Normal Close. It is possible to select timer stop on
input level transition;
.. Type of input: either dry or under voltage; selection via the multi-function knob. Maximum input:
250V AC or 275 V DC;
.. With dry input selection, the wetting voltage is 24 V; the test current is 3 mA nominal;
.. With voltage input selection, two thresholds can be selected: 24 V or 80 V;
.. Selections are displayed on the front panel by 5 dedicated lights;
.. When the input is closed or with voltage an LED turns on;
.. When the relay intervenes the TRIP light turns on;
.. Wrong selection protection. If voltage is applied when clean input is selected, input circuits are
not damaged;
.. Timer start: as the fault is generated.
- Available measurement: elapsed time between test start and STOP input.
- Time can be metered as seconds or cycles. Metering range, in seconds: see table.
