Listed below are some of the Frequently Asked Questions we receive for Callistonx. Please contact us if you need more information.
Q: What EMC and Type Testing standards does the product conform to?
A: Please provide us with your details and we will send them to you.
Q: Can you provide me with information giving details of the Callistonx cassettes/modules power consumption?
A: Yes – please provide us with your details and we will send them to you.
Q: What is the burden of the AC Cassettes when measuring a CT or a VT?
A: CT – the burden of our current cassette varies depending on which range is being used. At full load the burden is 140uW for the 1 amp range and 875uW for the 5 amp range. VT – each leg of the voltage measuring cassette offers an impedance of approximately 950K ohm to system 0V (usually neutral).
Q: None of the relays in the output cassettes are functioning correctly?
A: Ensure that the shorting link is connected between TB1 1 & 2.
