• OC: In sequence, the Open and Close coils are driven (all the CLOSED POSITION DATUM A
combinations) A

t
Open coils are driven. The first Open command is issued OPEN POSITION
on the selected Open coil phase, while the second Open
command is issued on all coil phases
• Static resistance: the instrument performs a breaker resistance
contact measurement using the available micro-ohmmeters The breaker speed and acceleration are calculated between two
on the selected phase (or on all the phases together) datum points defined on the curve described by the transducer.
• Dynamic resistance: the instrument measures dynamically the
resistance profile during an open or close operation: the result
of the test will be a diagram and the breaker time delay based
on the profile analysis
These sequences are also selected by means of a dedicated
pushbutton. The selected sequence is confirmed by an LED.
In this way the user defines the sequences (i.e. CO-CO, O-CO-CO
and so on) that can be executed.
For all the above sequences, the user can program the following
time delays:
• Open command duration: range 1 ms to 10 s
• Close command duration: range 1 ms to 10 s
• Open to Close delay: delay range 1 ms to 199.990 s
• Close to Open delay: delay range 1 ms to 199.990 s Static resistance measurement
• Dynamic open or close : range from 30 ms to 1 s This measurement is performed connecting CBA 3000 to the
• Recording duration: range 10 ms to 199.990 s circuit breaker main contacts.
Main contacts resistance is measured in the closed position.
Micro-ohmmeters and current generator:
• Output current : 200A , 150 A, 100A , 50A, 25 A
• Resistance measurement ranges: 250μΩ, 1mΩ, 10mΩ, 50mΩ,
500mΩ
• Minimum resolution: 0.1μΩ
• Contact resistance accuracy : 0.2% of the reading ± 0.2% of the
range (for ranges 250μΩ and 1mΩ)
• Contact resistance accuracy : 0.3% of the reading ± 0.3% of the
Coil currents range (for ranges 10mΩ, 50mΩ and 500mΩ )
CBA 3000 calculates internally the maximum current of any coil • Maximum test voltage: 5 V
command and at the meantime the current profile is recorded.
The following figure shows the recording with an Open – Close Dynamic resistance measurement
command: delays are referred to coil commands. With this measurement it is possible to record the main contact
resistance during the CB Close or Open. The test current flows
through the breaker contact and CBA 3000 measures the contact
resistance variations during the close or open operation.
