PCI-600
portable relay test set

The PCI-600 is a programmable AC high-current source designed specically
for utility-substation applications. This device is well suited for primary injection
testing of protective relays. This versatile device can also be used for testing
thermal, magnetic, and solid-state motor-protection relays and molded-case
circuit-breakers, as well as any application that requires a high-current source.
Built-in Timer
The PCI-600s built-in timer can test the time-
delay characteristics of protection relays and
molded-case circuit-breakers. Once the test
is initiated, the current source and the timer
are automatically turned on at the next zero-
crossing point of the AC. The timer stops when
the PCI-600 input detects a change in the dry
contact or voltage input, or detects the removal
of the test current. The test results are then
displayed in milli-seconds and fractions of a
cycle(s) on the units back-lit LCD screen (20
characters by 4 lines).
Current Source
Test currents, ranging from 10 to 600 amperes,
can be set by using the rotary dial knob on the
control panel. The test current is then measured,
and the results are displayed on the LCD screen.
When the PCI-600 is used as a current source,
the current-on time (duration of current ow) is
displayed on the LCD screen.

External Current Input
The PCI-600 also has an external-current in-
put (0 10 A). Both the internal current source
amplitude and the external current source mea-
surement readings can be viewed at the same
time.

Instruments designed and developed
by the hearts and minds of utility
electricians around the world
Vanguard Instruments Company, (VIC), was founded in 1991.
Currently, our 28,000 square-foot facility houses Administration,
Design & Engineering, and Manufacturing operations. From its
inception, VICs vision was, and is to develop and manufacture
innovative test equipment for use in testing substation EHV circuit
breakers and other electrical apparatus.
The rst VIC product was a computerized circuitbreaker analyzer,
which was a resounding success. It became the forerunner of an entire
series of circuitbreaker test equipment. Since its beginning, VICs
product line has expanded to include microcomputer-based, precision
micro-ohmmeters, single and three phase transformer winding turns-
ratio testers, transformer winding-resistance meters, mega-ohm
resistance meters, and a variety of other electrical utility maintenance
support products.
VICs performance-oriented products are well suited for the utility
industry. They are rugged, reliable, accurate, user friendly, and
most are computer controlled. Computer control, with innovative
programming, provides many automated testing functions. VICs
instruments eliminate tedious and time-consuming operations, while
providing fast, complex, test-result calculations. Errors are reduced
and the need to memorize long sequences of procedural steps is
eliminated. Every VIC instrument is competitively priced and is
covered by a liberal warranty.
