Description

A precision instrument designed to calibrate RCD, loop, insulation, earth testers and multifunction

installation testers. The 5030 accurately simulates RCD trip times and measures currents

produced by RCD testers. It replicates loop impedance and auto adjusts for local line impedance.

It also provides insulation resistances and measures test voltages and currents. User control is via

the central navigation keypad. Scrolling though menus and settings is intuitive and easy, with

measurements and settings shown on the large clear LCD display.

Regional test sockets and fault detection: For loop and RCD tests the electrical tester (device

under test) connects directly to the dedicated front panel mains socket. The 5030 can be fitted

with a number of regional type sockets (specified on order). In these test conditions, if the device

under test is faulty, the 5030 auto detects the fault, disconnects the output and warns the user. The

5030 is designed not to trip any RCDs on the local supply.

Loop impedance with auto local loop measurement: With 10 measurement points the 5030

covers a wide range of loop testers. The precision resistors that make up the loop calibration

function are high power and capable of withstanding up to 30 A. An accurate automatic

measurement of the local loop is made by the 5030 and added to the resistor value to give the

loop impedance value, allowing for precise loop impedance calibration.

Precise RCD trip times: RCD trips can be simulated from 10 to 2000 ms in duration. The trip time

can be set to predefined values for quick selection, or to a user time via the front panel.

RCD current measurements: Current measurement is made of the applied RCD test current.

Current measurements are true RMS for AC, half wave rectified as well as being able to measure

DC tests. The ranges covered are from 6 mA to 1000 mA, with multipliers of x0.5, x1, x2, and x5

up to a maximum of 2500 mA. To avoid false current measurements the 5030 incorporates a

‘pre-test delay’ setting. This feature is for use with RCD testers that produce a pre-test signal.

A test current threshold setting (0 to 100 % of nominal current) is also user selectable.

Insulation resistance and test voltage measurement: The 5030 tests the functions of megohm

meters using precision high value resistors up to 2 GΩ. Resistance value can be set via front panel

or via remote control to allow many test points to be automated. Voltage measurement functions

allow accurate test voltages up to 1 kV to be measured whilst under 0.5 mA or 1 mA test conditions.

Continuity and earth resistance: The 5030 precision low ohm resistors allow calibration of

continuity functions found on most multifunction testers and insulation testers. Applied test

voltages and currents are also measured.

Mains voltage and frequency: The local mains supply voltage and frequency is precisely

measured by the 5030. This is used to cross reference the voltage reading on the unit under test

and confirm the instruments accuracy.
