Description
TRT Standard Series instruments are true three-phase, fully automatic test set specially designed for turns ratio, phase shift, and excitation current measurements of power, distribution and instrument transformers. TRT determines the transformer turns ratio by applying voltages across high voltage windings, accurately measuring voltages across the unloaded transformer windings, and then displaying the ratio of these voltages.
TRT is based on a state of the art technology, using the most advanced technique available today. The test set can be used to test single-phase and three-phase transformers, both with and without taps in accordance with the requirements of the IEC 60076-1 standard.
For a three-phase measurement, the test set is connected to all the three phases of a transformer to be tested. If specific vector diagrams are selected for different types of transformers, the TRT will run a specific test for each transformer type (i.e., single phase, Delta to wye/star, Wye/Star to delta, Delta to delta, Wye/Star to wye/star, Delta to zig-zag, etc.) without a need to switch the test hookup cables. In addition, it can perform the test with true three-phase test voltage, allowing testing any transformer type. Following the test, it displays a turns ratio, phase shift, and excitation current obtained with single-phase and/or true three-phase tests.
TRT lets users enter a transformer’s nameplate voltages for the turns ratio deviation calculation. This feature eliminates any error otherwise caused by an operator’s manual calculation. The TRT also compares the test result with the nameplate ratio and prints out the % of error for each test.
Operating conditions messages or error messages identify incorrect test conditions, abnormal operating condition or transformer problems. TRT has a very high ability to cancel electrostatic and electromagnetic interference in HV electric fields. It is achieved by a very efficient filtration. The filtration is made utilizing the proprietary hardware and software design solutions.
