The MS-1A test unit has a patented circuit consisting of a continuously variable autotransformer which supplies a Multi-Amp output transformer, thus providing stepless control of the output current. Integral metering, timing and control circuitry are included. The unit is housed in a convenient suitcase-type enclosure for easy portability.
The MS-1A will test time-current characteristics of motor overload relays and molded case circuit breakers rated up to 100 amperes by simulating overloads up to 300% of their rating. Auxiliary applications include testing of in-line motor cut-outs, fuse links, meters and rationing current transformer.

| Test Leads |
Two No. 22 timer leads each 5 feel long. These leads are used
to connect the binding posts on the MS-1A labeled CONTACTS to
the contacts of the device under test which will open when the
device trips.
Two No. 4 high current lead., each 5 feet long. These cables are
used to connect the output terminals of the MS-1A to the current
element of the device under test. |
•50 hertz units are equipped to operate from 120 volts, 50 hertz, single phase. For other
input voltages use a suitable 1.0 kVA step-down transformer.
••S/N 5070 and up. Earlier units are accurate to ± 1 second and measure from
1 second to 999 seconds.
