HV Circuit Breaker Vibration Analyzer - CBV-19

Zensol is the first to introduce a new instrument, the CBV-19, totally dedicated to vibration measurements on HV circuit breakers.
This new instrument will allow the maintenance crew to detect mechanical anomalies in the circuit-breaker drive mechanisms and other moving parts in the interrupting chamber that should be inspected and overhauled.

The CBV-19 is used in conjunction with accelerometers. Its high sampling frequency of at least 150 kHz allows to catch a large variety of mechanical anomalies.

The CBV-19 comes with powerful and user-friendly software : OpenZen - CBV for analyzing the defect severity and plan further maintenance actions. It integrates many calculation functions including: noise suppression, amplitude and time deviations between measured and reference signals, frequency spectrogram depicting relevant frequencies.

• Easy detection of mechanical anomalies
• Extensive calculation functions including noise suppression, amplitude, etc.
• Possibility to create test plans
• Control over the close and open commands of the circuit breaker
• Robust and portable
• For use in High Voltage environment
• Can be used on any type of breakers
• Easy installation

• 16 analog channels including:
      12 BNC inputs (-10 to +10V)
      2 current inputs (-20 to +20A)
      1 neutrik inputs (0 to 10V)
      1 contact input (for close/open monitoring)
• Sampling frequency :
      150 kHz for 8 channels
      300 kHz for 1 channel
• Sampling time:
      3us for 1 channel
      6us for 8 channels
• Recording time :
      1ms to 60 minutes for 8 channels
      1ms to 7 hours for 1 channel
• Data acquisition system with 16 bit resolution for A/D conversion
