5KVP voltage probe allows direct connection between your PowerSight meter and 5,000 Vrms.
Outputs from the probes connect directly to PowerSight analyzers, allowing complete analysis of medium voltage power systems up to 5KV
Normally, professionals who wish to measure 4,160 volt lines need to locate an installed PT (potential transformer) and then connect to the secondary of the PT. At that time, they enter the PT ratio into the PowerSight analyzer so that primary voltage values will be displayed and recorded. However, sometimes a convenient PT is not available, or the measurement must bypass the PT to verify whether the metering circuit is correct, or the frequency response of the PT is too limited to do harmonic analysis.
The 5KVP provides a solution in those situations, allowing direct connection between the primary voltage and your PowerSight analyzer. Simply connect the 5KVP outputs to your PowerSight analyzer and to ground. Enter a 100:1 input ratio into your PowerSight analyzer and then hook the 5KVP probe onto the medium voltage.
The connection to the medium voltage is via a shepherd’s hook that has a 1/4 inch inside diameter. The hook attachment facilitates hands-free measurement and long-term monitoring of 5kV lines. For added security on longer studies, you can tape the hook safely onto the connection point.
Each probe has a ground clamp, a neutral connector and a reduced voltage connector. The neutral and voltaage output connectors are safety banana plugs. Each lead is labeled to advise where to hook it up.
The 5KV probes may also be purchased as a set of three, including a carrying case (order 5KVPSet).
Whenever possible, connect the probes to a de-energized circuit. First, connect the ground lead of each of the probes to a secure ground point.
The probes are used exclusively with the PowerSight® line of Energy Analyzers, manufactured by Summit Technology Inc.| Category | Notes |
