Stationary Switchgear Test Systems ll ACTAS C160

ACTAS C160 – Stationary Switchgear Test System

The ACTAS C160 is a stationary testing system designed for fully automated final factory tests, type tests, and functional tests of a wide range of switchgear equipment, including circuit breakers, disconnectors, and earthing switches. It supports different types of drive mechanisms and enables comprehensive testing without opening the main contact chambers or drive unit.

The system measures and evaluates the electrical and mechanical parameters required to assess switching performance in real time. Analog and incremental input channels are available for sensor measurements, while dedicated binary channels allow testing of auxiliary contacts and main contact chambers.

In its standard configuration, the ACTAS C160 (Stationary Switchgear Test Systems ll ACTAS C160) can independently control three opening-coil circuits and two closing-coil circuits per pole. The supplied software package supports a wide variety of testing procedures, from autonomous individual test sequences to complete, automated testing of switchgear devices.

Cabinet Design

The Stationary Switchgear Test Systems ll ACTAS C160 is housed in a standard 19-inch cabinet. All external interfaces required for testing are available through standard connection panels equipped with multi-pin industrial connectors for inputs and outputs.

Built-in power supply units provide power for relay control and externally connected analog and digital sensors. Optional integrated power sources can also be supplied for external actuators such as spring-charging motors, release coils, and heating systems. External power sources can be connected through the dedicated connection panel.

All connected sources, coils, and heating systems are controlled via relays, while internal sources are regulated directly by the test system. An indicator panel displays the current system status and the status of active releases.

For enhanced safety, all external voltages can be disconnected using the EMERGENCY STOP button. The system also includes an integrated safety switching device for interrupting the safety circuit. The cabinet meets international requirements and is certified according to BG, UL, cUL, CCC, and GOST standards.

An additional safety binary input is available on the connection panel and can be used to monitor external safety devices, such as a cabinet or access-door contact.

The cabinet is supplied through a mains connection panel and multi-pin industrial connectors with a maximum load capacity of 32 A. A separately fused 25 A output is integrated into the emergency-stop circuit for supplying external sources.

Inputs and Outputs

The number of freely configurable external inputs and outputs depends on the selected device options. For example, controlling an internal power source may require one analog output for the control signal, one analog input for feedback, and two binary outputs for release and AC/DC switching.
