SETTING UP THE EQUIPMENT
The setup of this equipment has been minimized by consideration of the operator during design. The
VLF-50CMF three-piece construction mounted on one trolley relieves the usual installation and mobility
obstacles for AC testing in the field or in a sub-station.
Select a level location
for the unit that will allow easy hook-up to the test cable. The cooling and
filter assembly of the VLF series will not operate properly if the high voltage tank is placed on uneven
ground. A maximum angle for correct operation is 5
°
. Blocking the trolley to a level condition is
acceptable.
1.
Be sure that all the controls are off
,
in their de-energized or fully counterclockwise
position.
2.
Secure ground leads to the high voltage tank brass stud, and the power
section brass stud.
The Ground
leads should be of sufficient ampacity to carry any
expected fault currents from the load cable.
3.
Secure the interconnect cables from the power section to both the control
and the high voltage tank.
These connections are likely done once upon receipt,
the correct mating is as follows:
RC J1 to PS J1
PS J5 to T J1(power)
RC J2(BNC) to PS J2(BNC)
PS J6 to T J2(cooling)
RC J3(BNC) to PS J3(BNC)
RC J4 to PS J4
RC= Remote Control, PS = Power Section, T = Tank
All Connections must be made to operate this unit.
4.
Insert the coaxial output cable into the high voltage output connector on
the tank.
Tighten the clamping nut securely.
