MicroPhase I LRP
Chapter: Overview · Description · Options · Technical data · Item numbersPhase comparison simply and safely
MicroPhase I LRP is an easily operated phase comparator, dual voltage detector and maintenance tester. Its automatic, thorough self-test ensures reliable function. The permanently enabled interface-testers warn against defect interfaces. Thanks to the “LRP-switch” the threshold value can be lowered from 2,5 µA (HR, MR, LR and LRM) to 1,0 µA (LRP).
The integrated “Universal Phase Comparator” compares two different interface signals, even if they are of different interface type or voltage. A unique error control avoids switching errors caused by erratic or unfeasible phase comparison. The indication of a signed phase angle helps to sync different net segments or to put the phase sequence in desired order.
Application and technique
MicroPhase I LRP is a dual phase VDS (Voltage Detecting System) with integrated UPC (Universal Phase Comparator) for the LR-System in compliance with IEC/EN 61243-5 (DIN VDE 0682 T415). Additionally the device connects to HR, MR, LRM and LRP string parts with the appropriate adapter.
The evaluated indication of the interface current is executed by means of two bright LEDs per phase, which display the conditions voltage absent, residual voltage, voltage present, string part Ok and high current respectively.
| Condition (standard) | Current | Display |
|---|---|---|
| voltage absent | < 0,3 µA | green continuous light |
| residual voltage | 0,3 - 2,3 µA | green flashing light |
| voltage present | 2,4 - 3,1 µA | red flashing light |
| string part ok | > 3,2 µA | red continuous light |
A blue LED announces the LRP-mode activated by press and hold of power button. Afterwards the following threshold values are applied:
| Condition (LRP) | Current | Display (blue LED on) |
|---|---|---|
| voltage absent | < 0,1 µA | green continuous light |
| residual voltage | 0,2 - 0,9 µA | green flashing light |
| voltage present | 1,0 - 1,2 µA | red flashing light |
| string part ok | > 1,3 µA | red continuous light |
Three additional LEDs display the phase conditions phase balance, phase unbalance and phase comparison impossible.
| Condition | Phase angle | Display |
|---|---|---|
| Phase unbalance, Lx -> L1 | -180 .. -21° | red flashing light |
| Phase balance | -20 .. +20° | green continuous light |
| Phase unbalance, L1 -> Lx | +21 .. +180° | red continuous light |
| Error | not determinable | amber continuous light |
The determination is accomplished with an rms-value measuring method independent of the applied waveform. Fast zero-crossing detectors with digital offset compensation carry out phase comparison.
The integrated self-test ensures unfailing operation. It starts automatically whenever the device is switched on. You merely plug the connection leads into the test jacks of the device, push the power button once and the device checks the connection leads, the LEDs, the battery and the correct functioning of electronic measuring circuits and software. If an error is detected you will be notified of fault condition by deterministic flashlight signal before it shuts down.
