3.5.3 Automatic Test

The Automatic test can be performed by selecting Automatic in Main menu (Figure 3-14), and
selecting the Automatic by pressing ENTER. The display changes into the Automatic menu
(Figure 3-15).

Figure 3-14: Automatic test selection

Figure 3-15: Automatic menu

Using the automatic menu means that the Minimum Trip Voltage test of the circuit breaker’s coils
can be performed automatically.

1 - The value of the Ustart, by pressing the ▲▼ keys

2 - The value of the step voltage ΔU, by pressing ▲▼ keys
3 - The value of the Ustop, by pressing ▲▼keys
After selecting the input values, the test is initiated by pressing the START key.

In order to set the coil’s Minimum Trip Voltage (MTV test) the test voltages need to be set as:
Ustart < Ustop
A pre-selected voltage impulse lasting 100 ms is brought to a desired coil. If the coil was not
actuated the voltage is automatically increased for the pre-selected voltage step and voltage
impulse is generated again (duration of 100 ms).

Two test outcomes are possible:

1. The circuit breaker coil is actuated, the SAT displays the Result-C menu with the actuation voltage
and maximum current (Figure 3-16).

Figure 3-16: Automatic results

M-SAT0AN-300-EN 14
Manual SAT

2. The maximum (minimum) test voltage was reached without the actuation of the circuit breaker
coil. The error message „No activation“ will appear on the display. Refer to paragraph 4.4 of the
"Error Messages" section of this document.

To abort the test, press the STOP key at any time during the test.

When testing with AC voltage, test current value of the will not be displayed.

3.5.4 Spring-charging Motor Test

The SAT has been designed with a separate DC/AC power supply source intended for power
supply of the spring-charging motors.

Before the test can be started, the spring-charging motor test voltage needs to be defined using
any of the SAT menus (please refer to the figure 3.17).

Figure 3-17: MOTOR settings in tests

Motor voltage can be selected in the range of 10 V to 250 V AC/DC. Pressing the MOTOR button
will run the test (Figure 3-18).

Figure 3-18: Display during the MOTOR test Figure 3-19: Result-M menu

Please note that maximum output current depends on the model. The SAT30A output current is up
to 30A, while maximum current that could be reached in case of SAT40A model is 40 A. These
high currents are known as inrush currents and have very low duration time (up to 30 ms).

Once the test is finished (test current drops to zero or the STOP button is pressed), the SAT
switches to the Result-M menu (Figure 3-19).

M-SAT0AN-300-EN 15
Manual SAT

To abort the test, press the STOP key at any time during the test.

3.5.5 Coil Resistance Measurement

This test is initiated by pressing the Ω - key in any of the test menus. The SAT measures the
resistances of "Breaking" (R1) and "Closing" (R2) coils at the same time.

CLOSING Coil Resistance

BREAKING Coil Resistance

Figure 3-20: The Coil resistance test results

NOTE: Please note that the device will not show both of the values because the coils
are connected through aux contacts. These contacts alternately open and close
depending upon the state of the main contacts.
The device will measure the resistance of the coil in a closed circuit, this means that
the other coil is not connected and the value of >5000 Ω will be shown on the
device’s display.

Please note that the device will not show both of the values because the coils are connected
through aux contacts. These contacts alternately open and close depending upon the state of the
main contacts.

3.5.6 Operating with the Circuit Breaker Analyzer and Timer – CAT Menu

This feature reduces the operating time required for working with both the circuit breaker analyzer
and timer device and the SAT device. It is designed so as to have the minimum number of required
steps for testing. The connection scheme is described in the Figure 3-21. Please note that all SAT
voltage outputs can be used to connect to the CAT device. The voltage should be set to match the
coil’s rated voltage.

Figure 3-21: The connection scheme of CAT series instrument with SAT device and circuit breaker's coils

CAT menu can be accessed by pressing ENTER while the cursor is positioned on CAT in the Main
menu (Figure 3-21).

Figure 3-22: Entering CAT menu Figure 3-23: CAT menu

M-SAT0AN-300-EN 16
Manual SAT

When in CAT menu (Figure 3-23), pressing the ENTER button the device automatically applies the
voltage on the motor terminals. After the motor spring is charged, and the current drops below 0,5
A at the Motor terminals, the SAT device is designed to wait for 5 seconds before switching the
output voltage to the coils terminals. SAT will generate predefined voltage for indefinite period, until
current flows through the coil terminals (coils are activated via CAT – circuit breaker analyzer).
After coil current drops to zero, SAT will continue to generate the voltage at coil output terminals for
5 seconds and switches the output voltage to the Motor terminals again.

This way the SAT device supplies the motor of the circuit breaker’s operating mechanism again.

Manual SAT

3.6 Maximal Load Intervals

The maximum initial current that can be generated depends of the available model (SAT30A or
SAT40A). The SAT30A is able to generate an initial current of up to 30 A DC, while the initial
current for the SAT40A model is up to 40 A. However, continuous current values that can be
generated depend on mains voltage, load voltage and load intervals (Tables 3-1 and 3-2)

Table 3-2

During the test, the SAT generates a high current and a voltage that heats up the test set. To
prevent the SAT from overheating, the instrument itself will automatically decrease the current
value depending on the test voltage and current being used as well as the time duration. The
current value will be decreased according to the maximum load intervals as presented in the tables
3-1 and 3-2. In addition, the instrument itself has an internal protection which will abort the test
after the last load interval expires. It will indicate an error message “Overheat” (described in
paragraph 4.3. of the "Error Messages" section of this document).

M-SAT0AN-300-EN 19

4 Error Messages
Any operational error is indicated by a continual light on LED C and LED M followed by a buzzing
audio alarm. Furthermore, the display indicates an error status message.
By pressing the STOP key the alarm buzzer can be stopped and the status message on the
display removed. The device will return to the DC/AC menu.

4.1 Error Message "Overcurrent"

This message is displayed if the test current is too high. In this case, the test voltage needs to be
reduced and then the test should be repeated.

Figure 4-1: Error message "Overcurrent"

4.2 Error Message "Overload"

This message is displayed if the value of the motor consumption (load) increases close to the
current limit value of the SAT. This measure prevents the spring-charging motor from potential
damages.

Figure 4-2: Error message "Overload"

4.3 Error Message "Overheat"

This message is displayed when the SAT40A operating temperature rises too high. The reasons
for this could be:

▪ excessively high ambient temperature,

▪ too many high current tests were performed in a short time interval despite the duty cycle time
control.

Figure 4-3: Error message "Overheat"

M-SAT0AN-300-EN 20
Manual SAT

A new test cannot be started before the device has cooled down. In this case, wait for the test set
to cool down and repeat the test.

4.4 Error Message "No activation"

This message is displayed if the SAT reaches the maximum pre-selected voltage and the coil is
not actuated during the automatic test of a coil.

The reasons for this could be:

▪ maximum pre-selected voltage is not high enough for a coil actuation,

▪ test cables between a coil and the instrument are not properly connected.

Figure 4-4: Error message "No Activation"

Select a higher test voltage (the max pre-selected value) or verify the cable connections. Repeat
the test.

4.5 Error Message "Malfunction"

If this message is shown on the display, or if the SAT cannot be operated anymore, a serious
internal error has occurred.

Figure 4-5: Error message "Malfunction"

Please do not remove the protective casing of the SAT device by yourself. Contact the DV Power
support Team (please refer to the ”Manufacturer Contact Information” section).
