The ZX-CHA Automated C/L Tester for Power System Diagnostics

Maintaining capacitor banks and reactors is critical for power factor correction, filtering, and system stability. Traditional methods for measuring individual capacitors within a bank or reactor inductances often necessitate time-consuming and potentially hazardous disconnection of parallel components. The ZX-CHA Automated Capacitance and Inductance Tester revolutionizes this process, offering a fast, accurate, and safe "in-service" testing solution for technicians and engineers.

Beyond Basic Multimeters: The ZX-CHA Advantage
While standard LCR meters or clamp meters offer basic component measurement, they fall short in critical field applications:

1.Parallel Circuit Challenge: Measuring a single capacitor within a live, parallel-connected bank is impossible for standard tools without disassembly – a major safety and efficiency hurdle.

2.Limited Parameter Set: Basic tools often provide only the primary value (C or L), lacking crucial diagnostic data like concurrent voltage, current, phase angle, impedance, or power.

4.Field Usability: Ruggedness, clear displays under varying light, onboard data logging, and printing are often missing in bench-top instruments.

5.Automatic Identification: Manually configuring instruments for unknown components (C, L, R) slows down troubleshooting.

The ZX-CHA Solution: Integrated In-Service Testing
The ZX-CHA directly addresses these limitations, positioning itself as an indispensable tool for substation and industrial maintenance:

True In-Service Measurement: Its core innovation is the ability to accurately measure individual capacitors within an energized, parallel-connected bank without disconnecting wires. This applies equally to single-phase and three-phase configurations.

Triple-Function Instrument: It seamlessly functions as:

An Automated Capacitance Tester (0.1μF - 2200μF)

An Automated Inductance Tester (0.1mH - 10H)

A Precision AC Current Meter (1mA - 15A) and Voltage Meter (0-25V)

Comprehensive Diagnostics: Beyond primary C or L values, it simultaneously displays vital parameters:

Voltage, Current, Frequency

Reactive Power (Capacity, 0-20,000 kvar), Active Power

Impedance, Phase Angle

This rich dataset provides a far deeper insight into component health than a simple capacitance or inductance reading alone.

Engineered for the Field:

Large Backlit LCD (240x128): Clear visibility day or night with intuitive Chinese menu prompts.

Robust Data Handling: Stores 50 measurement sets internally.

Integrated Thermal Printer: Provides immediate hard copies of results onsite.

Automatic Recognition: Intelligently identifies component type (Capacitor, Inductor, Resistor) for faster operation.

Built-in Protection: Features output short-circuit protection, safeguarding the instrument during accidental misuse.

Rugged Design: Operates reliably in harsh substation environments (-10°C to 50°C, ≤85% RH).

Technical Specifications at a Glance:

Operational Workflow:

1.Connect the test leads safely to the target component within the parallel bank or to the reactor terminals.

2.The instrument automatically identifies the component type (Cap, Ind, Res).

3.Initiate the measurement. The ZX-CHA applies its test signal and performs calculations.

4.View the comprehensive results (C/L, V, I, Power, Frequency, Angle, etc.) clearly on the large LCD.

5.Save the results internally for later analysis and/or print a report immediately onsite.
The ZX-CHA Automated Capacitance and Inductance Tester represents a significant leap forward in power system maintenance efficiency and safety. By eliminating the need for disruptive disconnection during capacitor bank testing and providing a rich set of diagnostic parameters alongside core C/L measurements, it empowers technicians to perform faster, safer, and more insightful condition assessments. Its rugged design, automated features, data handling, and printing capabilities make it purpose-built for the demanding environment of electrical substations and industrial plants, directly contributing to enhanced grid reliability and reduced downtime. For technicians tasked with maintaining power quality infrastructure, the ZX-CHA is not just a meter; it's an essential diagnostic partner.
