CBA 1000-2000 CB TEST SETS ARCHITECTURE AND KEY FEATURES

CBA1000 2000 ARCHITECTURE

1.

THREE TASKS:
TO MEASURE MAIN C.B. POLES AND AUXILIARY CONTACT INTERVENTION TIMES; TO MEASURE THE STATIC AND DYNAMIC MAIN CONTACT RESISTANCE; TO MEASURE ANALOG OR DIGITAL INPUTS AND TO CONVERT THEM INTO MOVEMENT, SPEED, ACCELERATION.
