Iranian Engineers Attain Technology to Store 96 Electrical Switch Tests in Internal Memory

“This is an industrial technology product that is used in the electricity (power) industry and the power switch testing system (time test and travel test BT12) for testing and analysis,” Behnaz Moradi Qiyasabadi, a member of the board of directors of the knowledge-based ‘Tarasheh Pardaz Pouya’ company, stationed at the incubator center of the Islamic Azad University’s Damavand branch, told ANA.

Elaborating on application of BT12 in the power switch testing system, he said, “It collects and stores qualitative information related to various components of power switches (breakers and sectioners) to decide about the quality of the switch's performance.”

“BT12 applies all types of maneuvers on the power switch and extracts the electrical and mechanical information of different parts of the main and auxiliary contacts, connecting and disconnecting buoys, charging motor, key spring, etc., provides detailed analysis of key performance, and is able to test all types of V and T power switches, do sampling of the speed of the desired inputs is KHZ10, store 96 tests in the internal memory and transfer them to the computer, print the results of the tests performed through the internal printer, and measure and sample the current of the engine and motor,” Moradi Qiyasabadi said.

There are two main types of switch tests; functional and dielectric. Functional testing assesses the working of the switch, while dielectric testing assesses the insulation of the switch.

Test switches are used for easy circuit testing of switchboard relays, meters and instruments.
