GF1061 CT PT Analyzer

The GF1061 is a portable precision CT PT analyzer for field or laboratory testing of measurement class and protection class CT, PT and TYP class CT. The manufacturer's category page describes a 7-inch touch TFT LCD, a self-equipped mini printer for field printing, USB flash disk download or RS232 PC control, and calls it the most complete and easy-to-use testing system for protection and metering CTs under IEEE C57.13 and IEC 60044 and IEC 61869. That superlative wording is the manufacturer's own category-page wording, quoted here as such, not as an independent market claim.

The image on this page is a PNG file from the manufacturer's own site, tied to the GF1061 by the category page's own image mapping. It has not been individually visually inspected against its label in the reference material behind this site; the build notes for this site record that visual check as still required.

Item and specification

How to select

Choose the GF1061 when both CT and PT testing must be done with one portable instrument, including protection class work. If only CT testing is needed, the GF1061CT from the same family may be the narrower comparison; if only PT testing is needed, the GF1061PT is the narrower comparison. Compare the test functions each model lists against the transformer types you must test.

Before payment, confirm the model, the transformer types, the test functions, the quantity, and the delivery terms. Ask for the current datasheet to be confirmed in writing before ordering. No price, minimum order or lead time figure is stated here; confirm each in writing with your inquiry.

Records and comparisons

Keep a record for every test this instrument performs. A useful record states the instrument model, the device under test, the test settings, the results, the date, and the person who ran the test. Records of that form can be checked months later, when a result is questioned or a device is retested after repair. A record that only says pass or fail cannot be checked, and a test that cannot be checked will eventually have to be repeated.

When comparing this model with a neighbouring model from the same family, compare the same items for both: the test functions, the ranges, the accuracy class, the display and output features, and the standards referenced. A comparison that uses one model's headline figures against another model's detailed figures is not a comparison. Ask for the current datasheet for each model under consideration, and compare datasheet against datasheet.

If the instrument will be used by more than one person, agree who owns the test records and where they are kept before the first test. Shared instruments with private records produce results that cannot be checked by anyone except the person who ran the test, which defeats the purpose of keeping records at all.

What to confirm before ordering

Before payment, confirm the model, the specification from the current datasheet, the quantity, the price, the lead time, and the delivery terms, in writing. Ask in your inquiry to confirm the payment terms, the trade terms, and the reply time you should expect, rather than assuming any of them. No price, minimum order or lead time figure is stated on this site.

Notes

No warranty period is stated on this page, because the reference material does not give a company-site warranty figure for this model.
