Automatic Output Regulation
DSP technology maintains a uniform current waveform even with changing load impedances and speeds testing by
eliminating the manual variac. Every other high current system requires the user to manually set the output current.
It also overcomes heating of the trip elements which caused the current to drop during the test.
Weight and Size
Amazing portability compared to other existing equipment, due to its light weight and small size, that allows one person
to carry it, even in his own car. The modularity allows to carry the minimum units to site.
Easier and cheaper to transport and handle. Each unit has wheels and folding handle.
Reduces the length of cables required as sets can be much closer to the device tested.
Facilitates portability into installations with limited space and/or with difficult access, such as stairs, soft soils,
underground substations, etc.
Multi-Functionality
The Raptor system concentrates many applications and testing assets, offering a time-saving and cost effective
solution.
The Raptor logic system features high-power processors to take care of future requirements, and their functionality can
be readily enhanced by means of firmware upgrades through the Internet.
Expandability
The modular design can accommodate several Raptor Slaves to the Master unit, and the user is not limited to initial
power requirement, being able to upgrade the system at a modest cost for higher power needs.
Sets are immediately assembled and synchronized thanks to infrared technology connectivity, IRDA type, thus saving
time, making the portability even better, and the expandability of the system a simple task.
Loop-through concept
The Loop-through high current secondary concept contributes both with flexible modularity and with lightness and
smaller size of the Raptor.
Unique capacity to adjust the voltage and current required through the number of loop turns used.
Reduces cables connection to the minimum possible, thus reducing power losses, and simplifying the test preparation.
Handheld Control Unit (Raptor HH)
Powerful and smart interface with TFT color Touch Screen to control and monitor the test.
Simplify testing through a automating process and test templates, including the storage of test results, and reducing
testing time. Simply dial up the desired current and inject.
USB connection to a PC, and through RaptorSync application to download reports for further editing, analysis, storing
and printing.
Pre-defined test templates help the user to perform quickly and in a more efficient way the most frequent tests, with
minimal training and preparation. Users can also create their own test templates.
Ethernet connector for software updates.
Reliable high speed Raptor Bus connector, with failure detection and alarms.
On screen calculations and magnitudes conversions.
User´s assistance for system configuration, cable selection and testing.
Measurement section
Voltmeter, Ammeter and Low signal Voltmeter inputs, measures AC and DC signals with phase meter incorporated,
extending the testing performance.
Binary input, voltage or dry contact, to detect trip commands that define the end of some tests.
Timer of 1 ms resolution, with zero current detection, and also configurable as countdown to limit the injection time.
Based on the internal and hardware measurements, selectable calculated measurements can be shown on screen ,
such as Total Power, Apparent and Reactive power, Power factor, Impedance, Reactance, Resistance, Transformation
Ratio and Ratio Error.
