10kA AC High Current Injector with DC option

10kA High Current Injector with DC option
Custom-Built High Current Source System (AC/DC – 3 phase) for Schneider Electrical Pvt. Ltd., Bangalore

The SCR Make 10kA AC High Current Injector with DC option is custom-built system is designed to support high-current testing such as for Temperature Rise Test or other evaluations as per your required standards (IEC, UL, ASTM, etc.). Supported by NI LabVIEW and PC-based Testware software, it is controlled via a common industrial PC interface, enabling precise, automated, and safe testing of high-current electrical components such as Air Circuit Breakers (ACBs), Busbars, Connectors, Switchgears like MCCBs, MCBs, Contactors, and Protection Systems.

Custom-Built High Current Source System (AC/DC – 3 Phase)

The setup includes:

  • Source 1: 12 V / 1000 A (1 & 3-phase AC) + equivalent DC output
  • Source 2: 12 V / 2500 A (1 & 3-phase AC) + equivalent DC output
  • Source 3: 12 V / 10000 A (1 & 3-phase AC) + equivalent DC output

Designed for testing applications requiring low-voltage, high-current delivery, the bench performs electrical validation tests. Its modular and scalable structure ensures operational reliability and system safety. It supports precise testing and programming for trip/non-trip and overload verification of ACBs and similar devices.

  • To deliver programmable AC and DC currents from 10A to 10,000A at 12V, controlled through a single industrial PC & LabVIEW based Software suite.
  • To perform Trip/Non-Trip, Overload, and Thermal Stress simulations across a wide range of current levels.
  • To validate the performance stability of low-voltage high-current electrical systems used in massive electrical power infrastructure.

  • Frequency Compatibility: The system is designed & implemented as per your utility (50Hz is default).
  • Output Interface: High-current outputs delivered via copper busbars.
  • Transformer & System Cooling: Forced air cooling with industrial-grade fans across all sources
    Operating Modes:
    • Manual Mode: Relay-based variac raise/lower with push buttons; PC monitors overload and safety status.
    • PLC Mode: Full control via Windows based PC interface, recipe management, diagnostics, and automation.

Configuration: Custom Built High Current Source System (AC/DC-3Phase)

Source Cooling Type Variac Type Current Rating Input Type Output Type
Source 1 Inbuilt Air Cooling Air-Cooled Variac 10A–1000A 415V AC 32A for each of 3 Phase AC/DC(AC -1Phase & 3Phase)
Source 2 Inbuilt Air Cooling Air-Cooled Variac 30A–2500A 415V AC 100A for each of 3 Phase AC/DC(AC -1Phase & 3Phase)
Source 3 External Oil Cooling Oil-Cooled Variac 500A–10000A 415V AC 300A for each of 3 Phase AC/DC(AC -1Phase & 3Phase)

Flexible usage allows combinations such as AC on Source 1 & 2 and DC on Source 3, or all three AC sources simultaneously with different current settings.
