Precision Measurement Across Wide RangeMeasure transformer winding resistances with exceptional accuracy, thanks to a high-resolution 1 display and a range that accommodates both power and distribution transformers. The Kelvin four-terminal connection ensures low-resistance measurements are unaffected by lead or contact resistance, resulting in highly accurate readings for diagnostics and quality assurance.
User-Friendly Interface and Data ManagementEquipped with a large LCD panel and intuitive controls, this ohmmeter offers both manual and automatic test modes. The internal memory can store up to 2000 measurement results, allowing users to review past tests, while the USB port streamlines data transfer to PCs for archiving, reporting, or further analysis.
Safety and Durability Built InOvercurrent and thermal protection guard against test hazards, and automatic demagnetization ensures safe transformer handling post-test. Housed in high-impact ABS plastic and designed for robust field use, the instrument operates reliably from -10C to +55C ideal for challenging environments.
FAQs of Transformer Winding Resistance Ohmmeter:
Q: How does the auto demagnetization feature benefit transformer testing?
A: The automatic demagnetization function removes residual magnetism after measuring, ensuring safe handling of the transformer and preventing malfunction during subsequent operation. It also makes the process faster and safer by eliminating manual intervention.
Q: What types of transformers and windings can this ohmmeter test?
A: It is designed for measurement of both single-phase and three-phase transformer winding resistances, compatible with copper or aluminum windings, and suitable for transformers up to 1000MVAspanning high and low voltage windings.
Q: When should a transformer winding resistance test be performed?
A: Testing should be conducted during routine maintenance, after repairs, on commissioning new transformers, or if abnormal transformer performance is suspected. Regular testing helps identify issues like winding damage or contact problems early.
Q: Where can the resistance data be stored and how can it be accessed?
A: The ohmmeter can store up to 2000 sets of resistance results in its internal memory. Data is easily accessed, reviewed, and transferred to a PC via the provided USB interface for further analysis and record-keeping.
Q: What is the process for connecting the test leads to a transformer?
A: Use the four-terminal Kelvin connection: two leads are for current injection and two for voltage measurement on each winding. This setup minimizes measurement errors caused by lead resistance and ensures accurate readings.
Q: How long can the device operate on its battery backup?
A: With the internal rechargeable battery, the instrument operates for up to 10 hours, providing extended measurement capability in field locations without immediate AC power access.
Q: What standards does the ohmmeter comply with?
A: This device adheres to international standards IEC 60076-1 and IS 2026, ensuring reliable operation, safety, and compatibility for global distribution and field testing requirements.
