About TAURUS Z-CHECK (Overhead Line Impedance Tester)
Z Check operates on thesingle phase mains supply. About 80 Volts of system frequency is injected intothe transmission line. Voltage current and phase angle are measured based ontest conditions. Power system frequency is chosen due to the fact that allprotective system operates on the same frequency and it is also necessary tomeasure the impedance at power system frequency.
Features:
- Measure impedance at power frequency for transmission lines.
- Measure impedance of power cables.
- Measure positive/negative sequence impedance.
- Measure Zero sequence impedance measurement.
- Measure phase to phase susceptance measurement.
- Measure phase to earth impedance measurement.
- Measure line to line mutual inductance measurement.
- Measure line to line mutual inductance measurement(ZERO SEQUENCE).

FAQs of TAURUS Z-CHECK (Overhead Line Impedance Tester):
Q: How does the TAURUS Z-CHECK overhead line impedance tester operate?
A: The TAURUS Z-CHECK operates by connecting to overhead power lines using clamp or lead accessories. It applies an adjustable test current of up to 10A and measures line impedance, displaying results on its digital LCD with backlight for clear visibility. Factory calibration ensures consistent, accurate readings.
Q: What types of electrical environments or systems can this tester be used in?
A: This tester is engineered for overhead electrical lines and power distribution systems, especially those up to 500V and within the CAT III 600V safety category. Its robust construction and weatherproofing allow it to function reliably in outdoor, high-humidity environments (up to 85% RH).
Q: When should the TAURUS Z-CHECK be used during electrical inspections?
A: Use the TAURUS Z-CHECK during routine maintenance, troubleshooting, or commissioning of power distribution networks to verify impedance values. Regular testing helps identify potential problems early, ensuring the safety and efficiency of the electrical system.
Q: Where can the test results be accessed or reviewed after measurements?
A: Test results are stored internally within the device, with a storage capacity for up to 100 readings. You can review these results directly on the testers LCD display, making field data management straightforward without the need for additional external devices.
Q: What is the benefit of the testers auto power-off feature?
A: The auto power-off function conserves battery life by turning the tester off after periods of inactivity, ensuring the rechargeable lithium-ion battery lasts longer during critical field work and reducing the risk of unexpected power depletion.
Q: How does the TAURUS Z-CHECK ensure user safety during operation?
A: It incorporates an insulated body, a high-grade insulation box, overload protection, and safety fuses. Additionally, adhering to IEC 61010-1 standards and CE marking, it meets stringent international safety requirements, providing peace of mind during use.
