SVERKER 760

Relay Testing Unit

SVERKER 760, the test engineer’s toolbox. The SVERKER 750 and 650 users will find it comfortably familiar and
will be able to start work right away. The new feature for SVERKER 760 is the continuous phase-angle control.
The SVERKER 760 features many functions that make relay testing more efficient. To cite one example, its
powerful measurement section can display (in addition to time, voltage and current) Z, R, X, S, P, Q, phase angle
and cos ϕ. The voltmeter can also be used as a 2nd ammeter (when testing differential relays for example). All
values are presented on a single easy-to-read display. Thanks to its built-in variable voltage source (amplitude and
phase angle), SVERKER 760 can also test directional protective equipment efficiently. Automatic reclosing devices
can also be tested – just as easily. Fine regulation of current is easy thanks to the built-in set of resistors.
Designed to comply with EU standards and other personal and operational safety standards, SVERKER 760 is
also equipped with a serial port for communication with personal computers and the PC software SVERKER Win.
Since the compact SVERKER 760 weighs only 18 kg (39 lbs), it’s easy to move from site to site.
Two or more SVERKER 760 units can also be synchronized, which for example allows the user to connect three
SVERKER 760’s into a basic 3-phase test set.
