What is a PCORE Test Terminal?
The PCORE Test Terminal makes it possible to perform field dielectric tests of substation equipment such as transformers and circuit breakers faster, safer and at substantial savings. These are the benefits that utilities are already experiencing as they turn to the PCORE Test Terminal and regular field dielectric tests as a means of extending the service life of existing equipment. The PCORE Test Terminal functions as an electrical switch permanently connected in series between the power bus and the equipment to be tested, so it eliminates the need to physically remove the power bus during testing. In the closed position, the PCORE Test Terminal permits electrical power to be transferred from the power bus to the equipment. Loosening and tightening the bolts on the test terminal once the system has been properly de-energized and connecting the terminal to the test set takes only a matter of minutes. Depending on the equipment being tested and its location, testing can often be accompl
