About Current Interrupter - The Quasar Tinker & Rasor

Current Interrupter - The Quasar Tinker & Rasor

Tinker & Rasor has just released another great current interrupter. This time, we are proud to announce the release of the Quasar. The Quasar is a solid state current interrupter capable of switching up to 100 amps of current. The Quasar uses a GPS receiver to achieve a timing accuracy of +/- 200 nanoseconds. The Quasar will operate for over 12 hours on its internal battery, or indefinitely on external 120 vac or 12 vdc power sources. The Quasar is easy to program and can hold up to 7 interrupt programs in memory. Programs will run automatically. You can set the date, time on, time off, and cycle duration, as well as operate the unit manually. Using GPS technology, the Quasar always knows Universal Mean Time (Greenwich Mean Time), and with GPS lock, the Quasar will automatically adjust to your time zone, based on longitude.

Advanced Programmable Timing

The Quasar Tinker & Rasor Current Interrupter offers versatile programmable ON/OFF cycles, ranging from 1 second to 30 minutes, allowing for precise and adaptable timing control required for cathodic protection monitoring. Its push-button interface and LCD digital display ensure straightforward operation and clear timing visualization, which streamlines field deployments.

Rugged, Weatherproof Construction

Engineered with an impact-resistant polymer enclosure and rated IP65 for weatherproof protection, this interrupter is built to withstand demanding environmental conditions. The enclosures compact size and robust build make it ideal for both indoor and outdoor installations, ensuring long-term reliability in diverse applications.

Universal Power & Safety Features

Operating on a universal 90-264VAC power supply, the device incorporates an internal replaceable fuse for enhanced safety. The isolated, removable terminal blocks facilitate secure connectivity, while multiple units can be synchronized for complex system monitoring, making it an excellent choice for industrial and field use.

FAQs of Current Interrupter - The Quasar Tinker & Rasor:

Q: How can the Quasar Tinker & Rasor Current Interrupter be installed in a cathodic protection system?

A: The interrupter supports both portable and panel mount configurations, offering flexibility for different installation needs. Its isolated, removable terminal blocks ensure easy and secure connection to your existing cathodic protection system. Panel mounting is ideal for permanent setups, while the portable option allows for quick deployment in changing field environments.

Q: What are the primary benefits of using this current interrupter for cathodic protection monitoring?

A: This interrupter delivers precise timing accuracy (0.1 second) and programmable cycles, ensuring detailed system evaluation. Its rugged, IP65-rated enclosure and LED/LCD status displays provide durability and operational assurance, making it highly suitable for harsh industrial environments. Synchronization capability allows multiple units to operate together for comprehensive monitoring.

Q: When should I use the synchronization feature, and how does it work?

A: Synchronization is necessary when multiple interrupters are used to control or monitor various points in a cathodic protection network simultaneously. The devices can be linked to operate in parallel cycles, ensuring coordinated data collection and system accuracyvital for large-scale or multi-zone monitoring applications.

Q: What is the process for programming ON/OFF cycles on this interrupter?

A: Programming cycles is straightforward with the push-button controls on the units interface. Users can easily select and set ON/OFF times ranging from 1 second up to 30 minutes via the LCD digital display, which provides clear feedback throughout the process.

Q: Where can this interrupter be effectively used?

A: The Quasar Tinker & Rasor Current Interrupter is designed for atmospheric-pressure environments and operates efficiently in temperatures from -10C to +50C, and 0-95% non-condensing humidity. Its weatherproof, impact-resistant casing makes it suitable for both outdoor and indoor locations in industrial, utility, and field-based cathodic protection systems.

Q: What level of current and voltage can this interrupter handle safely?

A: The device is capable of handling up to 100 Amps of current and 350 Volts DC, making it suitable for a wide range of cathodic protection setups. Its solid-state relay sensor ensures stable switching without mechanical wear.

Q: Does the interrupter have internal data logging capabilities?

A: No, this model does not feature internal data logging. All status and timing information is displayed in real-time on the LCD digital display, and relevant operating feedback is provided by LED indicators.
