Dissipation Factor and Capacitance Measuring System
MI 600 – High-precision acquisition and analysis system for dissipation factor and capacitance measurement
The MI 600 is a mobile high-precision acquisition and analysis system for dissipation factor and capacitance measurement of high voltage equipment. The MI 600 is targeted to replace Schering-type bridges in existing test bays or equip new test bays. The system can be used
with any accurate reference capacitor to test any type of specimen, including cables, power transformers, instrument transformers, coils, windings, or entire rotating machines.
Complete electrical insulation between acquisition units and the control station provide superior safety in high-voltage setups. High-resolution digital processing enables exceptional measurement precision. The easy-to-use mtronix software features various real-time visualization and monitoring options, and integrates with the MPD 600 partial discharge analyzing system.
Features & Benefits
- Modular, compact design. The MI 600 consists of two acquisition units, a fiber optical controller and a PC / laptop running the operating software.
- Complete electrical insulation between the acquisition units and the control station is achieved by means of optical fibers. Each fiber optical cable can be up to 2 km in length. This guarantees unprecedented safety and flexibility.
- Low power consumption. Less than 4 W power consumption in measuring mode enables the use of a battery with more than 8 hours continuous operation. In standby mode, each acquisition unit consumes less than 10 mW.
- Wide input range. The MI 600 features an 11-level input gain control, adjustable via the operating software. It reliably resolves currents from as low as 20 μA up to 100 mA without the need for an external shunt. By use of the external shunts, currents up to 28 A can be measured.
