Pre-injection reminder

Raptor System training course

Load calibration required
Specially important for instantaneous trip tests.
• Set the maximum non-tripping current and do
a 1-second injection.
• The Raptor will calculate the required voltage.
• The chronometer will not run.
• The orange rectangle will go white. Test now.
