9.19 Running CT-6500 in Tandem
For timing application requiring more than 12 timing contact channels, the user can use two or
more CT-6500s to time a circuit breaker. A typical application is to use a CT-6500-12 and a CT-
6500-6 to time a 18-contact ATB. To time this circuit breaker, the user can use the following
steps:
n Connect the CT-6500-12 to phase A and B of the circuit breaker.
n Connect the CT-6500-6 to phase C of the circuit breaker.
n Connect the CT-6500-12 initiate cable to the breaker control circuit. This CT-6500-12
will operate the circuit breaker.
n Connect the CT-6500-6 external trigger cable to the OPEN coil for the OPEN test and
CLOSE coil for the CLOSE test. This CT-6500-6 will operate as a slave device.
n Set the CT-6500-6 to start a test using “EXTERNAL TRIGGER”.
n Set the CT-6500-12 to start a test using “INTERNAL TRIGGER”.
n Press “START” key on the CT-6500-6 to start the sequence the press the “START” key
and hold the “ARM” switch on the CT-6500-12.
The CT-6500-12 will operate the circuit breaker and start the timing sequence. The CT-6500-
6 will start its timing sequence as soon as it senses the voltage applied to the breaker coil.
The timing report of the CT-6500-12 will show the contact time of phase A and B. The timing
report of the CT-6500-6 shows contact time for phase C.
If the user downloads the test results of both the CT-6500s to the PC, the user then can
combine the 2 test reports to generate a 18 channel test report. This report now can be printed on
the PC printer.
