SAFE USE OF THE EQUIPMENT
Before using the equipment, you must carefully read this manual, especially this section,
which refers to the safety precautions that must be observed.
Symbols used
Danger – It identifies actions and situations that represent
risks to the user.
Caution –
It identifies actions and situations that could cause
damage to the equipment.
Important –
It identifies actions and situations in which special
attention must be paid
to correctly conduct a test or take a
measurement.
Dangerous Situations
Danger –
Before changing the power connections or the
power supply, be sure that the system is turned off (by
deactivating the power switch of each unit).
Danger – After inje
cting high current, the cables and
connections could be very hot and could cause burns.
Danger – Do not manually open a circuit through which
current is flowing, given that high voltages could be
generated.
Danger – Never connect the power supply cables to a line
before connecting to the equipment.

Raptor
12
Danger – When conducting resistance tests, be sure that the
circuit is earthed to some point. If it is a switch, one of the
sides must be connected to earth and the switch must be
closed.
Danger – Before injecting current on the primary of a current
transformer, be sure that its secondary is closed. Otherwise,
high voltages may appear.
Danger – Never operate with the system if you observe
severe damage to it or humidity on it.
Hazardous situations for the Raptor system
Caution – In systems with Raptor-
SL units, when preparing to
conduct injections by pass-through turns, be sure that all the units
are powered.
This is necessary so that the thermal protection
systems work correctly.
Caution – Do not inject using the pass-through turn simultaneously
with the auxiliary output.
Caution – Do not try to lift the equipment using the fold-down
handle. Instead, use the top handle.

INTRODUCTION
The Raptor marks the difference with respect to any primary injection testing equipment
that currently exists. Its innovative design and cutting-edge technology allow substation
commissioning and maintenance tasks to be carried out more efficiently, given that the
concept of manageability is taken to extremes that were previously never possible to
reach.
With the Raptor, SMC opens the door to a new generation of testing equipment based
on the formula of innovation, designed with and for the user and endorsed by more than
25 years of experience developing practical, affordable and long-lasting solutions for its
customers around the world.
As high-current injection equipment, the Raptor’s design fulfils three fundamental
objectives: 1) being able to bring equipment as close as possible to the device under test,
2) controlling current automatically and 3) only requiring one person.
The basic system (C-05) or ‘master unit with console’ is extraordinarily compact and
manageable equipment, with a touch-screen console that allows making precise
electrical measurements and conducting multiple types of testing, including high-current
testing, for which it uses an elegant implementation of the secondary pass-through
technique. A single conductor passes through the equipment from one side to the other
in order to transmit the current to the object being tested, connected at its two ends. This
saves preparation time and eliminates power losses. The wave shape, of variable
frequency, is generated digitally and is extracted through a 3-kVA power amplifier with
extreme precision and control, insensitive to the variations that might occur in the load
and even in the power supply voltage.
The Raptor slave units, externally identical to the master unit, allow increasing the
injection power in 5-kVA steps just be aligning them with the master and passing the
injection conductor through the entire assembly. A sophisticated power management
system, supported by a robust infrared communications channel, allows managing up to
five Raptor units as if they were a single unit and without having to connect them to each
other, thereby reaching an injection power of over 18 kVA and a current of up to 15,000
amperes. In addition to all this configuration flexibility, there is the possibility of increasing
the applied voltage simply by looping the conductor around the equipment several times.
The Raptor is managed using a small touch screen, which attaches magnetically to steel
surfaces for greater convenience. Updateable by a direct connection to Internet, this
powerful, multilingual controller also stores testing templates pre-configured at the
factory, in addition to those defined by the user, as well as the testing results. Its software
includes an assistant to determine the Raptor configuration and the necessary cable
characteristics for conducting a specific test, even before leaving the office.

HOW TO CONNECT THE SYSTEM
The Raptor system will be composed of at least one Console (Raptor-HH) and one
Master unit (Raptor-MS). Depending on the configuration that you have acquired, you
can also align up to 4 slave units (Raptor-SL).
To connect the system, you must first set up a power supply line with sufficient power/
cross-section to cover the power that your load requires, plus the losses of the generator.
Even though this is difficult to know in advance, you can take into account the maximum
admissible consumption per unit:
Raptor-MS: 18 A permanently, 36 A for 3 minutes and 72 A for 3 seconds.
Raptor-SL: 26 A permanently, 52 A for 3 minutes and 104 A for 3 seconds.
You must keep in mind that the Raptor gives maximum power when fed at 240 VAC,
measured at the start of the supplied power supply cable. To the extent that this voltage is
less or drops during the test, the maximum current or maximum voltage will also drop.
Positioning of the equipment
When preparing to inject current using the ‘pass-through turn’, you must align the Master
case with the Slaves.
This makes it easier to pass the cable through the hole of each unit and allows the
infrared communications channel of the Raptor units to work correctly (this
communication, in both sides of units, is designed for being viewed directly and at a
distance of less than 1 meter).
Conversely, if you are going to use the auxiliary Voltage/Current output, be sure that
there is no closed pass-through turn.
Do not use the auxiliary output at the same time as injection by
pass-through turns.
