The Public Lighting Test Device P34 – REATEST was developed aiming to reduce operational costs with the maintenance of Public Lighting systems.
It is a portable equipment developed by PRIMATA ELETRÔNICA for the execution of quick tests in systems such as Mercury Vapor (MV), Sodium Vapor (SV) and Metallic Multivapors (MM).
The P34 – REATEST also adds the ability to test the ignitor’s functioning and identify the polarity of the high voltage pulses.
In MV Public Lighting systems, when a short circuit occurs in the reactor windings, it loses the ability to reset the current and causes the lamp to burn out. This fact can only be verified in the field when the burnt lamp is replaced and then the almost immediate burning of the new lamp is verified, generating losses.
In SV and MM systems, in cases of short circuit in the reactor, the situation is similar to that of the MV system. However, the ignitor may also stop working and the polarity of the ignition pulses may not be correct. Reversing the polarity of the ignition pulses causes a significant reduction in the useful life of the lamp and igniter due to the inherent capacitance between the socket thread and the lamp thread, which causes the damping of the high voltage pulses, making them insufficient to cause ignition.
