CPOL3

Supports efficient detection of wiring errors in secondary energy system circuits. The CPOL3 is a handheld polarity and wiring checker for instrument transformers, trip, and logic circuits.

The Smart System for Checking Polarity and Wiring

The CPOL3 detects the polarity in instrument transformer circuits using a DC-free sawtooth signal. This signal can be generated by one of our test sets, such as the COMPANO 100, CMC 500, or CPX 200.

This method works on both the primary and secondary sides of instrument transformers and avoids saturation effects. Additionally, it allows you to measure True RMS voltages or currents using a current clamp. An integrated oscilloscope-like mode visualizes signal waveforms. Selectable low input impedance reduces interference effects in complex environments.

In combination with the CMC 500 and CMC Swift, it supports convenient phase identification in three-phase setups

Benefits

Smileys, Values, and So Much More

Combining the CPOL3 with one of our test sets is an ideal solution for polarity and wiring checks. It helps you verify wiring and connections efficiently while improving personal and asset safety.

It provides clear, immediate feedback about polarity and signal behavior. It also allows you to combine multiple tasks during testing to optimize your workflow. Additionally, it offers different display modes and visual signal analysis to provide better insight during troubleshooting.

  • Powerful combination: Combine CPOL3 with COMPANO 100, CMC 500, or CPX 200 for flexible testing applications
  • Fewer steps: Detect multiple signal types and perform polarity, phase, and voltage tests with a single device
  • Deeper insights: Analyze signals using voltage, current, oscilloscope-like mode, and a spectrum display for precise diagnostics
  • Reliable results: Achieve accurate measurements with true RMS and a wide range up to 1,000 V AC and DC
  • Easy operation: Use a compact device with magnetic mounting, clear visualization, and a high-contrast display

Combine Several Aspects of a Wiring Test

Use the CPOL3 with one of our test sets to efficiently combine multiple wiring tests. The test set injects a sawtooth signal into the primary or secondary side of the CT or VT. The CPOL3 displays a green face for correct polarity and a red face for reverse polarity. Incorrect polarity is also displayed as an inverted signal in oscilloscope-like mode.

The CPOL3 also displays the measured voltage. The closer the measurement is to the burden, the lower the loop impedance and displayed voltage are. As a result, you can easily check the terminal assignment by comparing the voltage and roughly determining the burden.
