Megger SPI500 Smart Primary Injection Test System

The Megger SPI500 Smart Primary Injection Test System redefines high-current testing in substations by providing unmatched performance in precision, control, and portability. Delivering a continuous 2500A output and scalable up to 6500A with optional boosters, the SPI500 dynamically adapts its current output sub-cycle to maintain constant current, even as circuit impedance shifts during testing. This capability is essential when working with self-powered reclosers that rapidly change impedance. With automatic zero-crossing switching and firing angle control, the SPI500 eliminates DC offset, ensuring ISO/NEMA-compliant, instantaneous trip accuracy, even at peak load change moments.

The SPI500 is built for use in the field, with rugged instrumentation, integrated safety features, and intuitive operation, offering versatile control via touchscreen, PC, or both. Manual tests can be launched from the optional Smart Touch View Interface (STVI), or trigger fully automated test sequences using onboard software loaded with factory TCC curves. The package includes modular boosters for higher currents, robust design protections, and high-speed reporting. The SPI500 is a compact powerhouse which has been engineered specifically for reliable circuit breaker, relay, fuse, and transformer testing in substations.
