Description
The Single-Phase TTR® Transformer
Turns Ratio Test Set measures the turns ratio and exciting current
of windings in power, potential and current transformers. Deviations
in turns ratio readings indicate problems in one or both windings or
the magnetic core circuit.The TTR
test set aids in identifying:
- Shorted coils.
- Open circuits.
- Incorrect connections.
- Internal faults or tap-changer defects
in step regulators as well as in transformers.
The single-phase model is available in
either hand-cranked or line-operated versions and measures highly
sensitive turns ratios of up to 129.99:1 with accuracy of ±0.1%. An
optional auxiliary transformer extends the ratio range to 329.99:1.
The TTR set operates on the principle that
the voltage ratio of the transformer at no load is practically equal
to
the true turns ratio. The major source of error in a transformer is
a primary impedance drop due to magnetizing current, which is kept
to a minimum by excitation at a fraction of rated voltage. By
employing a design that meets both of these conditions along with
the use of a null balance system, the turns ratio of a transformer
can be determined accurately. When measuring the turns ratio of
distribution and power transformers, the accuracy is well within
0.1%.
Applications
The single phase models are primarily used for testing single-phase
power and distribution transformers, for low ratio readings up to
129.99:1, or up to 329.99:1 with an auxiliary transformer. They also
can be used to test three-phase transformers by connecting and
testing each phase separately.
