Megavar delivered HV testing and protection system commissioning for the Bluegrass BESS (Blue Grass) project in Queensland's Western Downs, working in partnership with
Specifications
Commissioning and periodic maintenance of Schneider low voltage switchboards where the protection is provided by MicroLogic trip units. Typical uses are verifying trip unit settings against a protection study before energisation, proving the trip unit and breaker mechanism operate together, checking zone-selective interlocking between upstream and downstream devices, and diagnosing a breaker that has tripped without an obvious cause. It is also used to prepare a trip unit for primary injection testing and to troubleshoot a primary injection test that will not run.
EcoStruxure Power Commission software is a free download from Schneider Electric and is installed on your own laptop. Confirm the Service Interface firmware version with us before hire if you are working on the newest ComPacT NSX or PowerPacT H, J and L frame ranges.
Trip unit testing is one of those jobs where the instrument is cheap relative to knowing which test proves what. An automatic trip curve test tells you the trip unit will operate at its settings. It does not prove the current transformers, the wiring or the breaker mechanism, and it is not a substitute for primary injection where the standard or the client requires it. Megavar commissions low voltage and high voltage switchboards as day to day work, so if you are unsure which test your specification actually calls for, ask us when you book and we will tell you straight.

Megavar engineers use this unit on commissioning projects across Australia. Hire it from a team that knows it inside out.
All Megavar test equipment is maintained under a documented calibration programme. Instruments are calibrated either by external calibration laboratories or in-house against reference standards that are themselves laboratory-calibrated, with measurement traceable to Australian national measurement standards held by the National Measurement Institute. A current calibration certificate is available on request. If your project requires a specific calibration interval, test standard, or documentation for a client submission, tell us at enquiry on 1300 730 499 and we will confirm what applies before you commit.

It connects a laptop running EcoStruxure Power Commission to the test port of a MicroLogic trip unit, so you can run automatic trip curve tests, force a trip for a device checkup, test zone-selective interlocking, and read or change protection settings without primary injection.
MasterPacT NT and NW, EasyPacT MVS, ComPacT NS 630b to 1600 and NS1600b to 3200, ComPacT NSX, and PowerPacT P, R, H, J and L frame ranges. It also configures Enerlin’X devices. Confirm the firmware version with Megavar before hire if you are working on the newest ComPacT NSX or PowerPacT H, J and L frame ranges.
No. An automatic trip curve test proves the trip unit will operate at its settings. It does not prove the current transformers, the wiring or the breaker mechanism, and it is not a substitute for primary injection where the standard or the client requires it. The interface is also used to prepare a trip unit for primary injection and to troubleshoot a primary injection test that will not run.
Three: LV485512SP for 630 to 6300 A air circuit breaker trip units, LV485513SP for 100 to 630 A moulded case trip units, and LV485514SP, a ULP cable, for Enerlin’X devices. The test port LED shows the connected family: green for ACB, blue for MCCB, flashing orange for Enerlin’X.
A 24 V DC adapter with an Australian plug is supplied, and the unit can provide 24 V DC at 120 mA to an auxiliary device. EcoStruxure Power Commission is a free download from Schneider Electric and runs on your own laptop over USB.
The Schneider Electric Service Interface LV485500, the AC to DC power supply with Australian plug, a USB cable, the three test cables listed above, and a carry case. The kit is 451 mm wide and 2.8 kg, rated to IEC 61010-1 and IEC 61010-2-030, CE and UL certified.
