Quasar-C+ Relay Test Set: Powerful Current-Focused Secondary Injection Test Set with Configurable Voltage Output

Looking for a powerful and flexible relay test set for protection relay testing, secondary injection testing, IEC 61850 applications, and GOOSE-based digital substation schemes? The Quasar-C+ Smart Relay Tester is designed for professionals who need the full current output capability of the Quasar platform, combined with a highly flexible configurable voltage channel.

The Quasar-C+ relay tester includes the same dedicated current sources as the Quasar, making it an excellent solution for overcurrent, differential, distance, and protection relay testing applications where strong current injection capability is essential. In addition, it includes one configurable voltage output, V4, which can operate as a fully programmable voltage channel or as a flexible auxiliary output for AC voltage, DC voltage, current output, or battery simulation.

Industrial Grade Protective Relay Test Set

The Quasar-C+ is an industrial-grade secondary injection test set designed for testing conventional and IEC 61850 protection relays in substations, power plants, industrial facilities, and maintenance environments.

It provides the same current output capability as the Quasar, while incorporating one fully configurable voltage output channel, V4. This channel can be configured as 1 x 300 Vac, 1 x 5 A, 1 x 300 Vdc, or as a battery simulator with selectable 48, 125, or 250 Vdc levels.

This makes the Quasar-C+ a powerful and practical relay tester for applications where three-phase current injection is the main requirement, but where a flexible voltage, DC supply, or battery simulation channel is also needed.

Configurable V4 Output for Maximum Flexibility

One of the key features of the Quasar-C+ relay test set is its configurable V4 output. Unlike conventional current-focused relay testers, the Quasar-C+ gives users an additional flexible channel that can be adapted to different testing needs.

• 1 x 300 Vac for AC voltage injection and protection relay testing.
• 1 x 5 A for additional current injection when required.
• 1 x 300 Vdc for DC voltage testing applications.
• Battery simulator with selectable 48, 125, or 250 Vdc output levels.

This flexible output makes the Quasar-C+ a practical secondary injection test set for users who need strong current outputs and one versatile voltage or DC auxiliary channel.

Upgradeable to Full Quasar Configuration

The Quasar-C+ is designed as a scalable version of the Quasar platform. It includes the same dedicated current sources as the Quasar and one configurable V4 voltage output as standard.

If full four-channel voltage capability is required in the future, the Quasar-C+ can be upgraded to a complete Quasar configuration by replacing the default voltage amplifier, which includes one voltage output, with the standard Quasar voltage amplifier offering four voltage outputs.

This upgrade can be performed at any time by purchasing the standard voltage amplifier module, allowing users to expand their relay test set without replacing the complete equipment.
