Abstract
A portable circuit breaker tester ( ) for testing a current transformer ( ) of a circuit breaker ( ) having a first terminal ( ) on a first end of the transformer and a second terminal ( ) on a second end of the transformer has a test port ( ) configured to be coupled to the first ( ) and second terminals ( ) and a test circuit ( ) coupled to the test port ( ). The test circuit ( ) is configured to provide a test current through the test port ( ) to the first terminal ( ), to monitor the second terminal ( ) through the test port ( ), and to provide an output signal to an indicia ( ) based on whether the test current is received at the second terminal ( ). The test circuit ( ) is configured to perform first and second testing operations on the circuit breaker ( ) through the test port ( ). During the first testing operation the test circuit ( ) provides a test signal to a terminal ( ) coupled to the current transformer and during the second testing operation the test circuit ( ) provides power to the circuit breaker ( ).
