The P991 test block houses fourteen cassettes. The P993 single-finger test plug is provided for the
verification of CT circuits. It has been designed solely
The cassettes are of modular construction. The for use with the CT cassette of the P991 test block.

high impedance voltmeter.
There are specific types of cassette to suit any circuit;
these can be configured in any order. The isolation between contact-fingers and 4mm output
sockets is 5kV rms.
