6. If the rotation of the disc is

COUNTER-CLOCKWISE

,release

'ON' button and transpose (interchange)the connections of any

two clips to the lines.

Press the 'ON' button again, making certain that all 3 lamps are lit

(no open phases), and check direction of the rotating disc, which

will be

CLOCKWISE .

Release 'ON' button at end of test.

5. If all 3 lamps are lit, check the direction of the

rotating disc on the front panel. If it is in a

CLOCKWISE direction , the Phase Se-

quence is R, S, and T, in order of the lines

where the Red, White and Blue clips are con-

nected.

Release the

'ON' button at conclusion of test.

IMPORTANCE OF PHASE SEQUENCE INDICATION

The Model 61-520 is a positive action electrical tester and will indicate

Phase Sequence is the order in which the phase voltages come on the

system.

If, during repair or maintenance, two lines are transposed (interchanged)

from their original positions, the Phase Sequence will be reversed. This, in

turn, will reverse the direction of all 3-Phase motors on the system.

This can cause severe personal, property and equipment damage especially

where rotating machinery is used for woodworking, metalworking, escalators,

elevators, automation, etc.

Hence, when any repairs or maintenance is made on 3-Phase systems, or

when paralleling 3-Phase Transformers or 3-Phase banks, the phase

sequence of each must be in the same order.

Connect the 3 alligator clips to the 3-Phase Power source being

checked for Phase Sequence. The positions of the clips on the 3

lines is optional.

Press the 'ON' button in lower right corner of front panel, keeping

it depressed throughout the test.

If all 3 lamps are lit, it signifies NO OPEN PHASES and the Phase

Sequence can then be checked.

However, if any of the lamps are NOT lit, the Phase Sequence

Indicator will not operate. Check to determine cause of the open

phase and correct before proceeding with the test.

1. Please note the 3 'Open Phase' Check Lamps

at the bottom of the front panel.

The alligator clip with Red Insulator is internally

connected to the left lamp with Phase Designa-

tion 'R'; the White Insulator to the middle lamp

with Phase Designation 'S'; the Blue Insulator

to the right lamp with Phase Designation 'T'.
