Quasar-C Relay Test Set: Current-Only Secondary Injection Test Set with Full Quasar Current Output Capability

Looking for a powerful relay test set focused on current injection, 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 dedicated current output capability of the Quasar platform, without voltage outputs as standard.

The Quasar-C relay tester includes the same three dedicated current outputs as the standard Quasar, making it an excellent solution for overcurrent, differential, earth fault, breaker failure, and other current-based protection relay testing applications.

As part of the modular Quasar platform, the Quasar-C can be upgraded at any time to a Quasar-C+ or to a full Quasar configuration by adding the appropriate voltage amplifier module.

Industrial Grade Current-Focused Relay Test Set

The Quasar-C is an industrial-grade secondary injection test set designed for testing protection relays in substations, power plants, industrial facilities, commissioning environments, and routine maintenance applications.

It provides the same dedicated current sources as the Quasar, delivering powerful and accurate current injection capability for demanding protection relay testing tasks. Unlike the standard Quasar configuration, the Quasar-C does not include voltage outputs as standard, making it an optimized solution for users whose main testing requirements are based on current injection.

The Quasar-C is also fully scalable. It can be upgraded to a Quasar-C+ by adding a configurable V4 voltage module, or to a complete Quasar configuration by adding the standard four-output voltage amplifier module.

Why Choose the Quasar-C Relay Tester?

• Full Quasar Current Output Capability: The Quasar-C includes the same three dedicated current outputs as the standard Quasar, providing powerful current injection for protection relay testing.
• Current-Only Configuration: Designed for users who need high-performance current injection but do not require voltage outputs as standard.
• Secondary Injection Test Set for Current-Based Protection: Ideal for overcurrent, differential, earth fault, breaker failure, and other protection functions where accurate current injection is essential.
• Upgradeable to Quasar-C+: The Quasar-C can be upgraded by adding a configurable V4 voltage module, providing one flexible voltage output channel.
• Upgradeable to Full Quasar: The Quasar-C can also be upgraded to a standard Quasar configuration by adding the four-output voltage amplifier module.
• Scalable Investment: Start with a current-focused relay test set and expand the equipment later when voltage testing capability is required.
• IEC 61850 and GOOSE Testing: The Quasar-C supports IEC 61850 and GOOSE-based testing, making it suitable for modern digital substations and communication-based protection schemes.
• Relay Testing Software: The Quasar-C works with intuitive relay testing software for manual, automated, and preconfigured tests, helping users reduce testing time and improve repeatability.
• Multiple Connection Modes: Integral Wi-Fi, Ethernet LAN, dedicated IEC 61850 port, and expansion port provide flexible connection options for field, substation, and laboratory environments.
• Rugged and Portable Design: Built for field use, the Quasar-C is designed for professionals who need reliable relay testing equipment in demanding environments.

Current-Only Relay Test Set with Upgrade Path

The Quasar-C is the current-only version of the Quasar platform. It is designed for users who require the full current injection performance of the standard Quasar but do not initially need voltage outputs.

The equipment can be upgraded at any time through two different paths:

• Upgrade to Quasar-C+: Add the configurable V4 voltage module, which can operate 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.
• Upgrade to full Quasar: Add the standard four-output voltage amplifier module to obtain the full Quasar voltage configuration.

This scalable architecture allows users to start with the current capability they need today and add voltage outputs later, without replacing the complete relay test set.
