PLCK Polarity Checker Module

Checking the correct connection of CT’s and VT’s to protection
relays is a problem because relays can be hundreds of meters
away from the transformer. PLCK easilys solves the issue. When
this test is started, DRTS 64 generates a special, not sinusoidal
waveform, which is injected into the connection cables. The
polarity check is easily performed by connecting it at the relay
IEC 61850 - 9 - 2 site. PLCK hast two lights: green and red. The green light turns
The IEC 61850-9 option allows generating measurement messages on when the polarity is correct; the red light turns on when the

• injection of Sampled Values on the system bus, corresponding to
CT and VT measurements;
• test of relays connected to the system bus, by the generation
of Sampled Values and the monitoring of the relay tripping, as
described above.
The connection is performed via an optical fiber connector,
mounted on the rear of the test set.
The option has to be specified at order.

Relay Connection Cable Kit

This option can be added to the basic cable kit to provide connection PLCK polarity checker
to all test set sockets. It includes also 20 adaptors for terminal block
connections and 3 jumpers to parallel current outputs.
Optional Local Touch Control
With the optional Local Touch Control the unit can be easily
