ACTAS C320 – Stationary Switchgear Test System

The ACTAS C320 is a stationary, high-capacity testing system designed for fully automated final factory testing, type testing, and functional testing of various switchgear devices, including circuit breakers, disconnectors, and earthing switches. It supports different types of drive mechanisms and enables complete evaluation of switching performance without opening the main contact chambers or drive unit.

The system measures and evaluates electrical and mechanical parameters in real time. Analog and incremental input channels are available for sensor measurements, while dedicated binary channels support testing of auxiliary contacts and main contact chambers. In its standard configuration, the system can independently control three opening-coil circuits and two closing-coil circuits per pole.

The included ACTAS V2.60 software provides flexible testing capabilities, ranging from independently running test sequences to comprehensive and fully automated testing procedures for complete switchgear devices.

Cabinet Design

The ACTAS C320 is installed in a standard 19-inch cabinet designed for professional testing environments. All externally accessible interfaces required for testing are arranged on standard connection panels and use multi-pin industrial plug connectors for convenient and reliable connections.

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

All connected sources, coils, and heating systems are controlled through relays, while internal sources are regulated by the test system. The indicator panel provides clear information about the current system status and active releases.

Safety is supported by an EMERGENCY STOP function that can disconnect all external voltages. An integrated safety switching device allows interruption of the safety circuit. The ACTAS C320 meets international requirements through certifications including BG, UL, cUL, CCC, and GOST.

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

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

Inputs and Outputs

The number of freely available external inputs and outputs depends on the selected equipment options. For example, regulation of an internal 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.
