Clinton Instruments Booth 105

The SM is offered as an accessory to the ST-CAL voltagecalibrationunit, whichallows voltage calibration of most common spark test units including AC, both mains and high frequency, as well as DC equipment. With the ST-CAL system, spark test voltages up to 30KV AC and 40KV DC can be calibrated easily. The operator interface is a Windows 8 tablet computer that controls the process as well as the printing of a certificate or by utilising the onboard USB port to download the test results on to a memory stick. The file can then be kept for historical use in any computer. When these two units are used together the operator will be assured that the spark test unit will meet all known specs once the calibration is finished.

Clinton Instruments will introduce a new addition to the ST-CAL calibration system, the Sensitivity Module, SM. This equipment will check the spark tester’s fault detection sensitivity and will assure compliance with EN50356 (IEC/CEI 62230).

The ST-CAL calibration system will be on display

The system utilises a rotating spark gap that controls arc duration and gap distance. When the test is initiated, the SM will produce a specific number of controlled faults, which the spark tester must correctly identify to meet the norm. The sensitivity module will work with high frequency, power mains frequency and DC spark testers from any manufacturer. The SM is compact and portable making it easy to test units while they are installed in the factory. The operator simply selects the type of unit to be checked and will then have visual confirmation of the detection current and number of faults produced via a digital display on the front panel. Once the procedure is started the SM will complete the specified number of faults without additional operator input.
