Turns Ratio and Winding Resistance Analyser | TWR-250B

Turns Ratio and Winding Resistance Analyser - Overview

This analyser is battery-operated and is designed for measuring transformer winding resistance and turns ratio. It is capable of testing six transformer windings with a single cable connection, as well as three-phase automatic transformer demagnetisation. It has the option of automated test mode, where the instrument operates the tap changer without operator input (minimising the risk of human error) and records winding resistance and turns ratio results based on pre-selected criteria. This also measures excitation current and phase shift. This enables detecting transformer core or winding turns failures which cannot be spotted by measuring turns ratio only. It has a built-in true three-phase power source so it can test transformers with special configurations, such as phase-shifting, rectifiers, arc-furnace, traction transformers. The instrument can output test current up to 25 A DC for winding resistance tests and voltage up to 250 V AC for turns ratio tests, but it can also output a very low-test voltage of 1 V AC, which is necessary for turns ratio verification of the majority of current transformers. It has a large 10.1” graphical touch-screen display with test templates and automatic test mode. Users can create test templates, store and load them with just a few clicks.

Winding Resistance and Turns Ratio Meter | MRC7300A

Winding Resistance & Turns Ratio Meter - Overview

This instrument can precisely and safely determine winding resistances, transformation ratios, and phase angles of distribution transformers up to 100MVA and more. Further, it is possible to automatically move the tap charger of the H.V. winding to the next tap and perform cool-down measurements in temperature rise tests to calculate the resistance in the case of a load disconnection. The Winding Resistance & Turns Ratio Meter MRC7300A can be used by transformer manufacturers, electricity supply companies, and repair companies which carry out on-site measurements under unfavourable conditions. Resistance values ranging from 50 µΩ to 500 µΩ can easily be measured and logged with the internal measuring current of a maximum of 15 A up to a power of Approx. 100 MVA and more. To allow a comparison of the measured values to previous measurements, a conversion of the temperature of the test object is provided to compare measurements of a detached transformer carried out in winter and measurements carried out in other seasons. The measuring range is between 0.9:1 and 2500:1 in the case of the transformation ratio; the resolution of the angle measurement is 0.1 degrees. The logging of all measured values is performed by a separate printer, computer, or via the internal memory. The magnetic loading of the transformer is performed quickly to a relatively high rating voltage (50V). The unloading of the core is very safe, as the energy is dissipated in the MRC7300A by a ballast resistor and varistors except for a negligible rest.

Battery Operated Transformer Ratio Meter | PWR1-3B

Battery Operated Transformer Ratio Meter - Overview

The Battery-Operated Transformer Ratio Meter PWR1-3B is a battery-powered instrument that can also be driven by normal line voltage. It is designed to measure transformation ratio, phase error, and magnetizing current of power and distribution transformers for all three-phases simultaneously. Voltage and current transformers are single-phase, power transformers normally are three-phase. Due to the bad quality of industrial lines (phase jitter and shifting, voltage differences between the three phases) all measurements normally are done in single-phase, even on three-phase ratiometers. The design of the PWR1-3B contains an internal sinus power oscillator which delivers the necessary exciting voltage with very low distortion and stable voltage not found in industrial lines. This allows for very stable and precise single and three-phase measurements. The Battery-Operated Transformer Ratio Meter uses a large LCD display with a backlight to present the values of ratio and phase difference of “H.V. Winding” to “L.V. Winding”, and the excitation voltage and the magnetizing current of the high voltage winding. Additionally, the instrument performs self-calibration and has different warning messages before each measurement in case of reversed connections and other failures.

Battery Operated Transformer Ratio Meter - Features
- Ratio range from 8 to 2,500
- Fully automated measurement
- Measuring voltage 10 V / 100 V selectable
- The display shows:
  - Ratio
  - Phase-angle
  - Excitation voltage
  - Magnetizing current
- Easy to read large LC display for all three-phases with backlight
- Built-in printer (optional)
- A robust mobile case for field use

Three-Phase Transformer Turns Ratio Tester | PWR3A

Three-Phase Transformer Turns Ratio Tester - Overview

The great advantage of the Three-Phase Transformer Tester PWR3A is its simple set-up. You simply type in the vector group with the keys to set up, connect the transformer to the device, and release the measurement. All three phases are measured consecutively. All connecting and short-circuited procedures at the primary and secondary voltage sides are performed automatically before each measurement. It is also possible to measure just one phase. An adjustable set value allows an error or deviation of the measured transformation ratio to be displayed. Automatic control of the tap changer is provided. All phases and taps are measured consecutively, and the results are stored inside the instrument and transferred to a PC. The transformer-specific data can be easily programmed via a connected PC but it is also possible via the internal keyboard. The PWR3A is connected to the H.V. and L.V. sides via four connections each. It also powers the test object at a selected voltage, supplied by an internal isolating transformer. An external excitation using different voltages and frequencies is also possible.
