High-accuracy amplifier and measuring units
With high-accuracy amplifiers, a wide range of measurement inputs and, last but not least, simple handling and operation, ARTES RC3 is the ideal solution for professional 3-phase relay testing.

The outputs of the 3 voltage and 3 current amplifiers are completely independent with regard to phase, amplitude and frequency and have full overload and short-circuit protection. The current amplifiers provide a maximum test current of 3 x 16 A. Parallel operation of the current outputs allows output of up to 32 A for 1-phase applications.

LEDs for status indication
The interior shows the ergonomic Control Panel with the TJCP interface and all connections for linking up to the device under test. As with all other devices in the ARTES family, the states and operating modes of the inputs and outputs of the new RC3 are indicated via numerous LEDs in the Control Panel. The user can tell at a glance which outputs are active and can easily identify the status of the binary inputs and outputs.

The integrated TJCP operator interface
The internal TJCP operator interface is a special feature. Its high-resolution 5“ touch screen with smart touch technology enables many tests to be carried out quickly and easily without having to connect an external PC.

The clear user interface guides the user intuitively to complete the task in hand. User actions carried out with the ergonomic jog wheel, such as amplitude, phase angle or frequency adjustments, are processed in real time and executed without delay. An illuminated ring integrated in the jog wheel also provides information on the current status of the system during settings and tests.

Precision measurement technology in robust package
ARTES RC3 is housed in a handy extremely robust and resistant hard shell case. When closed, the IP67 water- and dust-proof case absorbs even hard impacts without damage and reliably protects the valuable electronics of the test system. And even the case lid provides a special feature. The cable compartment integrated in the case lid also offers sufficient space for the cable set included in the scope of delivery.

Applications in the renewable energy sector
In addition to an excellent price-performance ratio, robustness, reliability and longevity were top priorities during development. ARTES RC3 is therefore also ideally suited for sophisticated outdoor use, for example in the renewable energies sector.

Especially for this purpose, the device software was extended by a very helpful tool. The QU module also provides a solution for on-site operation with which the Q-V protection function can be checked fully automatically. Quickly and easily, completely without PC. Time-consuming calculations and settings of the test parameters are not necessary, and the results are clearly documented in a test report after the test.
