The 585 CT Burden Tester design features a digital LED meter for displaying the current transformer (CT) secondary current. The burden is applied for a specific length of time controlled by circuitry inside the unit to help prevent the burnout of the burden elements.
Automatic System Continuity Check is a safety feature which allows the testing of the burden tester to assure that the CT secondary loop path inside the burden tester is continuous. Each time burden is applied, the unit will self-check the system continuity. The displays will annunciate a problem
