Power cord for the United Kingdom

When using the safety tester in the United Kingdom, make sure the power cord meets the following safety instructions.

NOTE: This lead/appliance must only be wired by competent persons

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

IMPORTANT: The wires in this lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Green/ Yellow:

Blue:

Brown:

Earth

Neutral

Live (Phase)

As the colours of the wires in main leads may not correspond with the coloured marking identified in your plug/appliance, proceed as follows:

The wire which is coloured Green & Yellow must be connected to the Earth terminal marked with either the letter E, the earth symbol

or coloured Green/Green & Yellow.

The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured Blue or Black.

The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter L or P or coloured Brown or Red.

If in doubt, consult the instructions provided with the equipment or contact the supplier.

This cable/appliance should be protected by a suitably rated and approved HBC mains fuse: refer to the rating information on the equipment and/or user instructions for details. As a guide, a cable of 0.75mm

2 should be protected by a 3A or 5A fuse. Larger conductors would normally require 13A types, depending on the connection method used.

Any exposed wiring from a cable, plug or connection that is engaged in a live socket is extremely hazardous. If a cable or plug is deemed hazardous, turn off the mains power and remove the cable, any fuses and fuse assemblies. All hazardous wiring must be immediately destroyed and replaced in accordance to the above standard.

23

GPT-9000 Series User Manual

Operating Precautions

Background The GPT-9000 is a high voltage instrument that outputs dangerous voltages. The following section describes precautions and procedures that must be followed to ensure that the tester is operated in a safe manner.

WARNING

The GPT-9000 generates voltages of up to 5kVAC or 6kVDC. Follow all safety precautions, warnings and directions given in the following section when using the GPT-9000.

1. Never touch the safety tester, lead wires, terminals, probes and other connected equipment when the tester is testing.

2. Do not turn the safety tester on and off quickly or repeatedly. When turning the power off, please allow a few moments before turning the power back on. This will allow the protection circuits to properly initialize.

Do not turn the power off when a test is running, unless in an emergency.

3. Only use those test leads supplied with the instrument. Leads with inappropriate gauges can be dangerous to both the operator and the instrument.

For GB testing, never use the Sense leads on the

SOURCE terminals.

4. Do not short the HIGH VOLTAGE terminal with ground. Doing so could charge the chassis to dangerously high voltages.

24

GETTING STARTED

5. Ensure the earth ground of the line voltage is properly grounded.

6. Only connect the test leads to the HIGH

VOLTAGE/SOURCE H/SENSE H terminals before the start of a test. Keep the test leads disconnected at all other times.

7. Always press the STOP button when pausing testing.

8. Do not leave the safety tester unattended.

Always turn the power off when leaving the testing area.

9. When remotely controlling the safety tester, ensure adequate safety measures are in place to prevent:

 Inadvertent output of the test voltage.

 Accidental contact with the instrument during testing. Ensure that the instrument and DUT are fully isolated when the instrument is remotely controlled.

10. Ensure an adequate discharge time for the

DUT.

When DCW or IR tests are performed, the DUT, test leads and probes become highly charged.

The GPT-9000 has discharge circuitry to discharge the DUT after each test. The time required for a DUT to discharge is typically

200ms.

Never disconnect the safety tester before a discharge is completed.

25

GPT-9000 Series User Manual

Basic Safety Checks

Background The GPT-9000 is a high voltage device and as such, daily safety checks should be made to ensure safe operation.

1. Ensure all test leads are not broken and are free from defects such as cracks or splitting.

2. Ensure the safety tester is always connected to an earth ground.

3. Test the safety tester operation with a low voltage/current output:

Ensure the safety tester generates a FAIL judgment when the HIGH VOLTAGE and

RETURN terminals are shorted (using the lowest voltage/current as the testing parameters).

WARNING

Do not use high voltages/currents when the HIGH

VOLTAGE and RETURN terminals are shorted. It may result in damage to the instrument.

Setting the Test Time (Timer)

Background The TIMER setting is used to set the test time for the current test. The test time determines how long the test voltage or current is applied to the DUT. This test time does not include

Ramp , initial start time or discharge time

(note: GB does not have Ramp or discharge times). The test time can be set from 0.5 seconds to 999.9 seconds for ACW, DCW and GB and

1.0 second to 999.9 seconds for IR, with a resolution of 0.1 seconds for all modes. The timer can be turned off when in the special

MANU test mode when using the ACW or

DCW test functions.

Each test has an initial test time of 100ms and a discharge time (except GB) of 200ms.

With the ACW test function, when the test current is between 30mA and 40mA, the ramp time + test time cannot exceed 240 seconds. At this current level, the tester also needs to pause after a test for a time equal to or greater than the output time. See

the specifications on page 142 for details.

When in special MANU test mode (page 66) the

Timer can be turned off when using the DCW or ACW test function.

Hold the TIMER soft-key for 3 seconds to turn the timer off.

The timer can only be turned off under special

MANU test mode, however there is a limitation:

The timer cannot be turned off (limited to 240s) if the test current is between 30mA and 40mA in

OPERATION

Setting the ARC Mode

Background ARC detection, otherwise known as flashover detection, detects fast voltage or current transients that are not normally detected. Arcing is usually an indicator of poor withstanding insulation, electrode gaps or other insulating problems that cause temporary spikes in current or voltage during ACW and DCW testing.

There are three ARC detection settings: OFF,

ON AND CONTINUE, ON AND STOP.

The ON AND CONTINUE setting will detect arcs over the ARC current level and continue the test, the ON AND STOP setting will stop the test when an arc is detected.

ARC mode settings only apply to ACW and

DCW tests.

Steps 1. Press the UTILITY key on the front panel when the tester is in EDIT status. The tester will go to the

MANU Utility for the current test.

Setting the Grounding Mode

Background When GROUND MODE is set to ON, the GPT-

9000 grounds the return terminal to the ground.

This mode is best for DUTs that are grounded to an earth ground by their chassis, fixtures or operation environment. This mode measures the potential of the HIGH VOLTAGE terminal with respect to earth ground. This means that any stray capacitance/resistance that leaks to earth ground will also be measured. This is the safest testing mode, though potentially not as accurate.

When GROUND MODE is set to OFF, the return terminal is floating with respect to the earth ground. This mode is for DUTs that are floating and not directly connected to an earth ground. This is more accurate than when

GROUND MODE is set to ON as any stray capacitance/resistance that leaks to the earth ground from the DUT side of the testing circuit will not be measured. For this reason, this testing mode is able to measure to a higher accuracy and resolution.

The GROUND MODE is always set to OFF for

IR and GB tests.

When GROUND MODE is set to OFF, the DUT, fixtures or connected instrumentation cannot be grounded. This will short circuit the internal circuitry during a test.

For ACW and DCW tests, if it is not known whether the DUT test setup is grounded or not, always set

GROUND MODE to ON.

Only set GROUND MODE to OFF when the DUT is floating electrically.

Steps

The tester cannot start to run a test under the following conditions:

 A protection setting has been tripped; when a protection setting has been tripped the corresponding error message is displayed on

the screen. See page 141 for a comprehensive

list of the all the setting errors.

 The INTERLOCK function is ON and the

Interlock key is not inserted in the signal I/O

port (page 75).

 The STOP signal has been received remotely.

If Double Action is ON, ensure the START button is pressed immediately after the STOP button (<0.5s).

When a test is running the voltage output cannot be changed, unless the test is under the

special manual mode. See page 66 for details.

Separate settings can be saved under the special test mode for each of the testing functions:

ACW, DCW, IR and GB. This means a different

ACW, DCW, IR and GB test setup can be saved for MANU number 000.

Steps 1. Choose MANU number 000 to enter the special test mode.

Start Control is used to determine how a test is started. Tests can be started via the front panel

(START/STOP buttons), from a remote controller or via the SIGNAL I/O port.

The Double Action function is a safety feature used to prevent accidentally starting a test.

Normally to start a test, the START button is pressed when the tester is in the READY status.

To start a test when Double Action is ON, the

STOP button must first be pressed, followed by the START button within 500ms.

Key Lock disables the front panel keys from changing the test number, mode or testing parameters. Only the Utility menu and any keys required for testing are not disabled.

The PASS/FAIL judgment for an automatic test depends on the results of all the steps (manual tests) that compose the automatic test:

 Each step must be passed for a PASS judgment

(excluding skipped tests).

 A FAIL result for a single step will result in

FAIL for the whole automatic test.

• The tester will not turn on.

• The panel keys are not working.

• When I press the START button the tester will not start testing?

• The accuracy does not match the specification.

The tester will not turn on.

Ensure the power cord is connected. Ensure the line input is set to the correct line voltage. Check to make sure the fuse is not blown.

See page 139.

The panel keys are not working.

Ensure the tester is not in remote mode, page 105.

Ensure the tester is not in SIGNAL I/O or Remote Connect mode,

page 75.

When I press the START button the tester will not start testing?

The tester must first be in the READY status before a test can be started. Ensure the tester displays READY before pressing the

START button, page 57 (manual test), 87(automatic test).

If “Double Action” is enabled, the START button must be pressed

0.5 seconds after the STOP button is pressed, otherwise the tester will not start testing.

If “Interlock” is enabled, the interlock key must be inserted into the

signal I/O port on the rear before a test can be started. See page 100

for details.

The accuracy does not match the specification.

Make sure the tester is powered On for at least 30 minutes, within

+15°C~+35°C. This is necessary to stabilize the unit to match the specification.

Description

For ACW tests. TIME ERR is displayed when HI

SET ≥ 30.00mA~40.00mA and if the RAMP time and the TEST TIME setting is > 240 seconds.

For DCW tests. OVER 50W is displayed if the

HI SET setting multiplied by the Voltage setting is greater than 50W.

For ACW, DCW tests. Shown when the current is set too high.

Voltage is too low. Indicates that the DUT could be shorted.

For ACW, DCW tests. Voltage is too high.

For GB tests. Voltage is equal to 0. Check to see that the SENSE H is not open.

For IR tests. The voltage is too high or resistance=0Ω. Check to see whether the DUT or test lead is shorting.

For GB tests. The resistance is too high or too low. Check the test lead connections to correct the error.

For GB tests. Current too low. Indicates that the SOURCE L or SOURCE H test lead is open or poorly connected. Test the test lead connection with the DUT to confirm.

For GB tests. Current is too high.

For GB tests. Resistance = 0. This error indicates that there is an error with the measured resistance (0Ω). Perform the zeroing function again.
