Detailed Description

Overview: dielectric loss measurement is a basic insulation test that effectively detects overall moisture deterioration and local defects. The GD6000-A breaks through traditional bridge measurement, using frequency-conversion power technology, a single-chip microcomputer and modern electronics for automatic frequency conversion, A/D conversion and data computation.

Performance: the instrument provides strong anti-interference, fast testing, high accuracy, full automation and easy operation. It uses a high-power switch-mode supply outputting 45 Hz and 55 Hz pure sine waves with automatic voltage application up to 10 kV, and automatically filters out 50 Hz interference.

CVT capability: it supports CVT testing by the self-excitation method, with four protection limits (HV voltage/current, LV voltage/current), and can measure C1, C2 and the total capacitance and tan δ of CVT equipment. It also supports reverse-connection low-voltage shielding and non-disconnection 10kV reverse-connection tan δ measurement.

Safety: the instrument has grounding protection (no HV output if ungrounded or poorly grounded), over-current protection, and shock protection that immediately cuts off HV if the operator is shocked.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the GD6000A Variable Frequency Dielectric Loss Tester used for?
It measures dielectric loss (tan δ) and capacitance (Cx) of electrical equipment insulation, and is widely used for transformers, instrument transformers (CT/PT), reactors, capacitors, bushings and surge arresters in electrical manufacturing, installation, handover and preventive testing.
How does it reject interference?
It uses frequency-conversion technology and Fourier-transform digital filtering to eliminate on-site 50 Hz interference, achieving the stated accuracy even under 200% interference, so it works reliably in strongly electromagnetically interfering environments such as substations.
