Nothing a residential/commercial sparky uses.
Maybe a lineman could tell you. I'm going to guess it has sometimg to do with their transformers. |

Traffic counter I think.
It counts the cars that pass over a line run across the road. |

Edit: Quoted: Traffic counter I think.

Scientific Atlanta makes amplifiers and line equipment for cable tv, I am not to sure what, if anything, else that they make. That thing looks like it is from the eighties though and if thats true it is probably outdated crap. Might be a frequency counter, did it have any connectors on it?

Portable Counter Display (PCD) = (Optional)
The portable counter display shall be a hand-held data retrieval unit used in the field to recover historical data from an individual radio controlled programmable load control thermostat or Digital Control Units (DCU). The PCD shall retrieve the data stored internally in each programmable load control thermostat. This data shall include commands received, the number of operations performed, the time-out interval selected, the programmable load control thermostat address, the enabled or disabled state of the cold load pick-up feature, and the elapsed time since the programmable load control thermostat memory was last reset. The PCD shall operate continuously for one (1) hour from one (1) rechargeable 9V DC battery. The PCD shall have an LED display to indicate when the battery should be replaced. The PCD shall be enclosed in a weather resistant, high-impact polystyrene case. |

You don't want a naked terminator landing in your yard who is looking for that thing. |

That one there is good for about 8kV (I think). The thing on the back is an optical coupler, so you don't have to hook a wire to an 8kV live line (bad idea). Portable testers like that one can test not only surge, but also EMC and EFT (oh, oh!) |

Quite likely it is a specialized piece of test equipment used to time circuit breakers.
I haven't worked in the field for years, so I could very well be wrong. We used to have to time circuit breakers from the time they received trip signals from relays until the main and auxiliary contacts operated. It possibly counts cycles, or 1/60 of a second. If the operation was delayed too long, the Breaker Failure relays would operate and trip an auxiliary relay to open all of the rest of the breakers on the bus. Instead of losing just the customers on one circuit, you would then lose all the customers being served from that substation. We also tested for other operating conditions like "minimum trip voltage", which would tell us how low the station battery could get before we would lose the ability to open up circuit breakers. I say "specialized" because I can't see where the data inputs plug into the device, and it might be used on only one brand of circuit breaker. Call the power company and ask them if they are interested in recovering their property! |
