5KVPSet - 5k Voltage Probe (set of 3)

5KVPSet is a set of three voltage probes that allow direct connection to up to 5,000 Vrms 3 phase power.

Outputs from the probes connect directly to PowerSight analyzers, allowing complete analysis of medium voltage power systems up to 5KV. Includes soft shell case.

This product is only warranted for use with PowerSight analyzers. Also, due to safety/liability considerations, this product cannot be returned for refund once shipped, except for warranty repair and calibration.

Summit Technology provides its model 5KVP voltage probes for connecting directly to 3 phase voltages up to 5 kilovolts for complete analysis.

Normally, professionals who wish to measure 4,160 volt lines need to locate an installed PT (potential transformer) and then connect to the low voltage output secondary of the PT. The PT ratio is entered into the PowerSight so that primary values are displayed. However, sometimes a convenient PT is not available or the measurement must bypass the PT to verify whether the metering circuit is correct.

The 5KVPSet allows direct connection between the primary voltage and to your PowerSight analyzer. The set comes in its own compact canvas carrying case.

Simply connect the outputs to your PowerSight analyzer and to ground. Enter a 100:1 input ratio into your PowerSight analyzer and then hook the probes onto the medium voltage.

The connection to the medium voltage is via a shepherd’s hook that has a 1/4 inch inside diameter.

The 5KV probes may also be purchased singly (order 5KVP).

Whenever possible, connect the probes to a de-energized circuit. First, connect the ground lead of each of the probes to a secure ground point.

PLEASE NOTE: The probes are used exclusively with the PowerSight® line of Energy Analyzers, manufactured by Summit Technology Inc.

Due to safety/liability considerations, this product cannot be returned for refund once sold, except for warranty repair and calibration.

This means that connecting the probes to other meters results in an impedance mismatch which results in inaccurate readings.

Therefore our 5KVP probes are only guaranteed to work with PowerSight meters and due to the inherent risk when working with elevated voltages, we will not sell them to a customer who will use them with some other measuring device.

Use of a 5KVP on a device other than a PowerSight meter voids all warranties for the probes and is undertaken by the user at their own risk.
