Total Energy System
5000
The electric vehicle (EV) charging market is rapidly expanding, with more and more people switching to electric cars. As the demand for EV charging stations increases, so does the amount of energy that is being exchanged. This energy exchange market is already massive, with charging peaks reaching into the megawatts of energy. With this amount of energy comes a significant amount of revenue, which requires the most accurate billing possible. That’s where TESCO’s Catalog No. 5000 – Total Energy System comes in. The Catalog No. 5000 is a double duo system that enables the testing and accuracy verification of Electric Vehicle Service Equipment (EVSE) and Field Test Equipment for testing EVSE’s in the field. This system is a dual-purpose DC and AC System and includes both a 100A AC (ACT-100) Test System and a 200A DC Test System (DCT-200).

Meter Site Analyzer
6330
Need an all-in-one field test kit? TESCO’s Meter Site Analyzer is the most versatile and complete tool for testing the entire functionality of transformer-rated metering installations in a convenient, portable, and ULTRA lightweight kit—only 17.8 lbs! As a utility, the vast majority of revenue comes from large customers who have transformer-rated services. At transformer rated sites the opportunity for something to go wrong is much greater than at a self-contained site. Studies have shown that at transformer-rated sites, the vast majority of issues are related to wiring, CTs, PTs and other issues. If you want to be sure that the customer is billed correctly and you are not losing revenue, you must test the whole site, not just the meter. TESCO’s all-in-one 6330 Meter Site Analyzer gives you the most versatile site testing tool available in a small, lightweight package. No other test system has the functionality of:

Burden Set – Current
BSC-102
The industry has recognized the actual load (burden) on CTs is lower than the standard ANSI burdens allow. So a new IEEE Specification (IEEE C57.13.6) accommodates that fact by introducing two new burdens and two new accuracy classes. This new specification address “High Accuracy”CTs.

IEC Standard Burden Sets (Current)
IEC Burden Sets
Testing and calibrating current transformers often requires standard burdens of reliable accuracy and stability, and burdens that are immune to stray fields and harmonics. These burden sets have been carefully designed to meet these requirements. They also provide the standard burdens required for the testing of current transformers for metering service, and for the testing (within the current rating provided by the sets) of current transformers for relaying applications, all as called for by IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) Publication 185: 1987.
