About EGIL200 circuit breaker analyser
The EGIL200 circuit breaker analyser has been developed in response to demands for an affordable mid-range circuit breaker analyser that is fast and easy to use. The emphasis in the EGIL200s development has been on ease of use, ensuring that the time spent setting up measurements is kept to a minimum. With the quick test mode, all relevant settings are on one screen, ready to select and begin testing.
Ideally suited for testing high and medium voltage circuit breakers in substation and industrial applications, this versatile instrument offers a wide range of functions. All recommended measurements specified in the IEEE C37 and IEC 62271 standards are included.
The EGIL200 is based on technology used in Meggers market-leading EGIL and TM series of circuit breaker analysers, combining their ease of use with many other features that have made them so popular. These features include PIR contact timing and PIR resistance measurements, which are accurate even in noisy environments, thanks to their Active Interference Suppression technology.
Other key features of the EGIL200 include its one-click report generation ability. You can upload results to a PDF file or send them directly to an optional integrated printer. The EGIL200's robust construction makes it suitable for operation in even the most demanding on-site conditions.
Connection to the test object has also been streamlined, so you only need to connect the test leads once to perform all the following measurements or operations:
- Timing of main and PIR contacts
- Coil current analysis of close, open 1 and 2 coils
- Station voltage measurements
- Motion measurements
- Resistance measurements, static and dynamic
- Motor current measurement
- Minimum pickup voltage test for close, open 1, and open 2
The EGIL200 can be supplied in versions that are pre-configured for standard applications, such as medium voltage, high voltage, and dead-tank breaker testing, or in a fully customisable configuration that supports up to four breaks per phase and three analogue inputs.
Accurate Timing Channels for Comprehensive AnalysisThe EGIL200 features either 3 or 6 main contact timing channels along with 2 auxiliary channels, allowing simultaneous and detailed monitoring of all key contacts within a circuit breaker. Its 0.1 ms accuracy and 0.01 ms resolution ensure precise detection of contact operation, critical for performance diagnostics and reliability assessments.
Synchronized and Automated Testing Made SimpleThanks to integrated synchronization with breaker coil operation and both manual or external trigger modes, the analyser delivers flexible testing workflows. The semi-automatic control, combined with automatic/manual operation options, streamlines circuit breaker evaluation for easier, faster, and more reliable results.
Rugged, Portable, and User-Friendly DesignHoused in a durable case and weighing approximately 10 kg, the EGIL200 is built for portability and on-site operational ease. Its wide temperature and humidity tolerance further enhance its suitability for demanding field environments. A large color LCD display and multi-language support enhance user experience.
Comprehensive Data Handling and Software IntegrationInternal storage for test records, USB and RS232 connectivity, as well as direct print and export features, facilitate efficient data management. The instrument is compatible with Windows analysis software in English, Chinese, and other languages, ensuring smooth integration into existing workflows.
FAQ's of EGIL200 circuit breaker analyser:
Q: How does the EGIL200 perform timing and motion analysis of circuit breakers?
A: The EGIL200 uses 3 or 6 main contact channels and 2 auxiliary contact channels to capture detailed timing sequences of circuit breaker operations. It can synchronize tests with the breaker's coil operation and supports external sensors for precise travel and motion measurement, providing high-resolution data for accurate diagnostics.
Q: What are the key safety features of the EGIL200 analyser?
A: The EGIL200 offers overvoltage and short-circuit protection to safeguard both the equipment and the operator during testing. Its robust input impedance (>2 M) also ensures minimal circuit loading and enhanced measurement safety.
Q: When should I use the external sensor support feature?
A: Use the external sensor support when you need to measure the physical movement (travel or stroke length) of the circuit breaker's contacts. This is especially important for detailed performance assessments or maintenance checks where motion parameters are crucial.
Q: Where can the EGIL200 be used for circuit breaker analysis?
A: The EGIL200 is suitable for laboratory, maintenance workshop, or field applications. With its rugged carrying case and portability, it can be easily transported and operated in power stations, substations, or on-site industrial environments across a wide temperature (0C to +50C) and humidity range (10-90% RH, non-condensing).
Q: What is the process for exporting and managing test records?
A: Test records are automatically stored internally. Data can then be exported via USB or printed directly from the analyser. Analysis results are compatible with Windows-based software for further evaluation and reporting, simplifying documentation and record management.
Q: How does the EGIL200 benefit maintenance teams and suppliers?
A: The EGIL200 streamlines circuit breaker testing with semi-automatic operation, quick data access, and robust safety. Its portability, comprehensive timing/motion analysis, and wide language support make it suitable for diverse teams, reducing diagnostic time and improving reliability insights.
Q: What types of circuit breakers can be tested with the EGIL200?
A: The analyser supports all standard medium and high voltage circuit breakers, accommodating configurable specimen clamps for different sizes. It is designed for timing and motion evaluation in single-unit setups, making it versatile for a wide range of breaker types in power distribution and industrial contexts.
