DESCRIPTION FEATURES
The PTE-100-C is a portable Universal test equipment for The PTE-100-C is designed in a way that enables testing of
relay tests for electromechanical, electronic, and digital protective relays in an effective and easy manner for the
relays. The equipment can output a variable current up to operator. There is a variable dc voltage output for the
250A, a variable AC Voltage up to 250V, a variable DC auxiliary voltage supply for electronic relays, which is

internal and external phase angles. From the front
panel controls, the maximum output injection can be
limited, used for example in testing
instantaneous overcurrent relays. Injection

test reclosing devices.

The PTE-100-C can communicate with a PC via the

serial port RS-232, and can be connected to other PTE
units via the BUS-PTE.
