Riker CAT 5000 The portable injection tester, 5KA

Precisely calibrated protection means enhanced traction supply, better revenues and ROI. Portability means huge cost savings from in-situ calibration and testing. Fully portable 5kA direct current injection for testing and calibration.

The hand-portable CAT 5000 is a new concept in DC circuit breaker calibration that brings rigorous control to traction power with simple, safe, low-cost procedures. Circuit breakers can be rapidly and simply tested on-site in complete safety and minimum disruption to operations. Direct injection testing provides the calibration that removes the risk of nuisance tripping or cumulative thermal overload damage. Railway revenue is directly related to the train capacity provided by traction power. It is vital for any operator to know the reliable capacity of his railway during peak demand and Riker’s CAT 5000 provides safe simple calibration that ensures maximum network capacity under any conditions. This simple process can release up to 70% more power into a network and effectively double the capacity for running trains. Power system calibration is critical to railway network management and the CAT 5000 has brought precision, simplicity and safety into what was once a difficult, expensive and dangerous process. This is why London Underground, Network Rail, Manchester Metrolink and many more companies have recognised the value of calibration and use the CAT 5000 to install, test and maintain their DC traction supply protection.
