The TRAN-203 series of instruments are designed to measure the turns ratio and winding resistance of three-phase and single-phase transformers. Via its user-friendly interface, the TRAN instrument/s provide a fast and accurate assessment of key transformer parameters.
TURNS RATIO MEASUREMENT
The TRAN-203 employs elements of performance tests specified in the ANSI/IEEE C57.12.90 standard. With market leading accuracy the TRAN-203 has a very wide ratio measurement capability with a precision of 0.08 %. Other features include the measurement of core excitation current, phase angle, polarity, ratio error and magnetic balance. Even though TRAN-203 has a three-phase cable configuration, users can also perform single-phase transformer tests.
TRAN-203 can detect vector groups automatically. The instrument has a wide operating range for use on equipment such as high excitation current transformers and high-power potential transformers in substations. The instrument can generate 1V, 4V, 10V, 40V, 100V, 250V AC test voltages.
WINDING RESISTANCE MEASUREMENT
Applying up to 20 Amps of direct current allows the TRAN -203 series to measure the resistance of three phase transformer’s primary and secondary windings automatically. TRAN-203 instrument/s are designed to measure the resistance of the primary and secondary transformer windings without the need to disconnect and reconnect the test cables.
Starting at 0.1 μΩ, the TRAN-203 series can measure up to 100,000 Ω of resistance. The instrument can control OLTC. The TRAN-203 series can demagnetise the transformer to mitigate the build-up of remanence or residual magnetism due to the testing. Device discharges through its voltage channels in case High Voltage is present in the transformer under test.
The instrument also has a temperature measurement input which when connected to an optional temp sensor allows the TRAN-203 series to perform temperature correction or adjustments to its measurements. In the case of a failure in the current circuit the TRAN instrument/s intelligent software controls the flow of current to mitigate damage and provide added safety for users.
Heat run test/Temperature Rise Test
Heat run test or temperature rise test reproduces conditions of continuous rated load and the temperature rise occurring during the load. TRAN-203 is capable of measuring the winding resistance of transformers and the full load resistance Ro during heat run test by applying up to 20A DC.
An internal battery option is also offered for operators who feel that they may be in situations where a mains supply source isn’t always available. Multi-language capability and a user-friendly operating menu make it easy to control.
