General operation
Standard elements, terminology

Test
The word test denotes the complete testing of a transformer. The test consists of data from all
measurement types (measurements, documentation), the transformer definitions, and the global
documentation data.
All data are stored in XML format and can be printed out as a final test report after the test is completed.
A test can be performed in either of two modes:
Object under test variant
Here the first step is to input all data on the object under test (OUT), that is, describe the transformer in
full. When performing a measurement, only the current transformer configuration need be specified; the
system accesses the predefined data. These data, however, cannot be modified during the measurement
application.
This mode is suitable for ordinary single-phase and three-phase OUTs having up to six independent
windings with arbitrarily many taps. This is accordingly the test type for fully normal transformers.
Measurement variant
This second mode is left as open as possible. Instead of defining the transformer, individual
measurement configurations are predefined and measurements are then performed on the basis of these.
Information about winding nomenclature, tap selection and ratings must be input as running text here,
since the system does not recognize the transformer being measured. As a result, the test is quite
versatile though somewhat more costly.
This mode is particularly suitable for autotransformers, but also for all other applications where the
transformer does not fit into the object under test scheme (more than six windings, etc.).
Measurement type
Measurement types are the several applications supported by the TMS 580 system:

Induced voltage test
No-load measurement
Load loss measurement
Zero-sequence measurement

6 General operation

Measurement
The measurement is a data record representing an individual measurement of one measurement type.
For example, the measurement type no-load measurement involves performing and storing 20 individual
measurements with various voltages, taps, etc.
Report
The report is a list of all definitions, settings, inputs and measurements. Report creation and printing are
done by the report generator, which is based on 'XML converted to HTML'. The form for the test report
(layout, title, etc.) is prepared by Haefely Test AG. This form can also be modified or adapted (provided
the user is familiar with XML, XSL!).

12 Calculation under various standards
Material definitions
The various material constants are stored in two files.
Conductor material file: TMS.MAT
This file contains the temperature coefficients of resistance for various conductor materials. If necessary,
this file can be worked on in any editor.
The first line (title line) must not be changed. It contains the field names that the TMS program uses.
Starting with the second line, conductor materials and their resistance values can be input. One line must
always be input for each material. The first value in the line contains the text that is to appear in the
programs menu. The second value is the temperature coefficient of resistance. It must be input in a
numerical format. A point . must be used as the decimal point. Each item must be followed by a
semicolon ;. There must be no spaces between items.
The temperature coefficient is always stated in terms of degrees Celsius! If other temperature units (F or
K) are used in the program, the T.C.R. values are internally converted to C by the software.

Example of a file:

Material;ResistanceValue;
default;235;
Copper;235;
Aluminum;225;
Calculation under various standards 13
Core material file: TMS.COR
This file contains two values for use in no-load loss measurements:
P1 form factor correction
k optional temperature correction
These two quantities depend on the core material, frequency, and inductance. The values used by the
program are calculated from a plotted curve for the material. This file contains sampled points from this
curve in tabular form. Each line defines one point on the curve. Values between these points are linearly
interpolated by the TMS. Values beyond the curve are automatically taken as
P1 = 0.5
k = 1
If necessary, this file can be worked on in any editor. The first line (title line) must not be changed. It
contains the field names that the TMS program uses.
Starting with the second line, core materials, rated frequencies, inductances, P1 and k can be input. The
first value in the line contains the text that is to appear in the programs menu. The second value contains
the rated frequency; the third, the rated inductance; the fourth, the value for P1; and the fifth, the value for
k. Numbers must be input in a numerical format with a point . for the decimal delimiter. Every item must
be followed by a semicolon ;.

Zero Resistances Allowed: The Systen accepts 0 values for coil resistances.




Ranging
The Ranging of the Norma Wattmeter can be set to automatic ranging or to a fixed range.

Measurement (OUT-related) 17
Measurement (OUT-related)
OUT-related means:
Here the first step is to input all data on the object under test (OUT), that is, describe the transformer in
full. When performing a measurement, only the current transformer configuration need be specified; the
system accesses the predefined data. These data, however, cannot be modified during the measurement
application.
This mode is suitable for ordinary single-phase and three-phase OUTs having up to six independent
windings with arbitrarily many steps. This is accordingly the test type for fully normal transformers.
18 Measurement (OUT-related)

Welcome screen
After the computer is turned on, Microsoft Windows and the TMS program are loaded automatically.
At the end of the boot procedure, the welcome screen appears. This is closed by the Close button. The
main screen comes up next.

This screen is divided into three regions:
Test preparation:
All prepared test data for the order and the transformer are input in this area together
with global documentation text.
Measurement applications:
All tests (measurement applications) are performed in this section.
Reporting:
This part of the screen is for creation, viewing and printing of the test report.

Measurement (OUT-related) 19

Test
Before measurements can be performed with the TMS, a test must be initialized. This is done either by
setting up a new test or loading an existing test.
Only the selfcheck and the wattmeter visualization can be executed without initializing a test.
Setting up a new test

With mouse With keyboard


Select the item New Test in the menu.

The following dialog box appears:



In the directory Listbox the directory to store the Test can be selected and under Test Name: a new test
name can be entered. A test is stored in a dedicated directory with the test name.
20 Measurement (OUT-related)

Pressing the OK Button confirms the selection and closes the Dialog. Then a little Dialog asks whether
the data of an existing Test should be used as template or not.



To chose the test from hwere the data shall be taken over a new Dialog will be opened where the test and
the sections to take over selected can be selected.


Measurement (OUT-related) 21
Loading an existing test

With mouse With keyboard


Select the item Test, open in the menu.


The following dialog box appears:



The desired test can be selected with the mouse or the arrow keys. After confirming with the OK button,
all data are loaded and the test can be resumed.


Inputting order data
After a test has been initialized, the order data can be input.

With mouse With keyboard


Select the item Test, order data in the menu.

22 Measurement (OUT-related)
The following dialog box appears:



There are 18 input boxes and one running-text box available for the order data. The first five boxes have
standard names, but all names can be changed by clicking on the field name with the mouse and editing
the text.
Unused boxes (. . . :) are later suppressed in the test report.
In addition to the input box texts, a continuous text can be input in the Note box.
Measurement (OUT-related) 23
Inputting transformer data
Now the transformer data are input.

With mouse With keyboard


Select the item Test, transformer data in
the menu.


The following dialog box appears:



The No radio button must be activated in the field named Measurementbased definition. This means
that you are performing a test in the OUT-related mode.
If Yes is activated, you are performing a test in the measurement-related mode. See the chapter titled
Measurement (measurement related).
In the second field, all transformer-specific data are input:
Popup box Frequency
The rated frequency applicable to the transformer is selected in this box. Frequency-dependent constants
are stored in the file TMS.COR and can be supplemented or modified if necessary.
24 Measurement (OUT-related)

Popup box Standard
The standard applicable to the transformer is selected in this box. The calculation method used depends
on this setting, for example conversion of no-load losses.

No-load measurement
Load loss measurement
Radio buttons Phases
These buttons are used to define whether the OUT (object under test) is a single-phase or three-phase
transformer. The measurement system is reconfigured appropriately for the measurements. If a single-
phase transformer is selected, new radio buttons appear from which the active phase must be selected.
Popup box Standard temperature
The information in this box defines at what temperature the load losses and no load losses are to be
calculated.

See also
Optional temperature correction
Popup box Temperature units
The temperature units are defined in this box. The information applies to all subsequent dialog windows
and displays. If the units are changed, the numerical value of the standard temperature in the preceding
box is converted.
Input box Induction
The rated inductance is defined in this box. Depending on the standard, this information refers only to an
item in the report or to the calculation of output data. The values for P1, P2 and k are retrieved from the
core code table once this value and the rated frequency and core code are given.
The inductance-dependent constants are stored in the file TMS.COR and can be supplemented or
modified if necessary.
Popup box Core code
The core material is defined in this box. Depending on the standard, this information refers only to an item
in the report or to the calculation of output data. The info box displays the P1, P2 and k values for this
core code; these are used in calculating the no-load losses according to ANSI or VDE.

Material definitions
The material-dependent constants are stored in the file TMS.COR and can be supplemented or modified
if necessary.
Measurement (OUT-related) 25

The winding data are input in the middle box of the dialog window. In all, up to six windings can be
defined. Every winding present must be marked with the corresponding check box. For every winding so
marked, the configuration and the number of taps can now be defined.

Data on the rated taps of all marked windings, if defined, are displayed in the lowermost box for
information.
The dialog window for definition of the winding taps is now brought up with the Configuration button. All
taps must be defined in this window.
26 Measurement (OUT-related)

Inputting tap data
Nominal tap voltage, current and power


By default all Taps are active and included into the measurement. This is indicated by the "X" in the
"Active" field of each Tap. By clicking into ths field the status can be toggled between active and inactive.
A inactive Tab will not be included into any measurement afterwards. A active Tap must be fully defined
for measurement. Otherwhise the Dialog can not be leaved.
Clicking into the title field of the "Active" row pops up two Buttons to activate all or deactivate all taps.



Measurement (OUT-related) 27

If the Tap Voltages are carried out in equal stages the software can calculate this Tap Voltages. Clicking
onto the title of the voltage column by the left mouse button pops ut a button to calculate all voltages.



Pressing this button opens the following dialog with tw opossibilities for Tap voltage input:

Min Max (Tap Voltage)
In this dialog the Min. Tap Voltage is the Voltage of the Tap with the lowest number and the Max. Tap
Voltage is the Voltage of the Tap with the highest numger



28 Measurement (OUT-related)

With this setting 7 Taps will be calculated with the Voltages 410 V, 440 V, 470 V, 500 V, 530 V, 560 V
and 590 V.

U step (per Tap)
In this dialog you can set the voltage step from one Tap to the next, the rated voltage of the rated Tap
and the number of Taps with higher voltage then the rated Tap voltage.



With this setting 7 Taps will be calculated with the Voltages 410 V, 440 V, 470 V, 500 V, 530 V, 560 V
and 590 V and the rated Tap will be the 500 V Tap.


The nominal Tap can be selected by a mouse click into the corresponding field.



Set nominal Tap nb. = 0

Sets the nominal Tab number = 0.
The other Taps are numbered
symmetrical according to the
position o the nominal Tap. (F. I.
2; -1; 0; 1; 2).
If nominal Tap Nb = 0 is not
selected the Taps are numbered
upward (0; 1; 2; 3;..)

Measurement (OUT-related) 29
The nominal current can be calculated by the software. Clicking into the field of the Nominal current by
the lwft mouse button shows a button to calculate the current from nominal power and nominal voltage.



To calculate the current of al taps at once click onto the title field of the current. That pops ut a button to
clculate all.




Powerbase
For the load loss measurement up to 20 Powerbases can be defined here. The first Powerbase is allwaya
predefined as 100 % of the rated power.


30 Measurement (OUT-related)

Tap winding resistance
The winding resistance values are used in the load loss calculation.



The temperature at the time of the resistance measurement must be input in the input box Temperature.
The first temperature input can be transferred to all taps automatically by pressing the button <Copy to
all> while editing the first temperature value.
The resistance values can be imported from a measuring data file of a 2288 device. Therefore the
configuration of the windings and taps must correspond to the configuration in the 2288 data file.

Wattmeter

With mouse With keyboard

Select the item
Measurement, wattmeter
in the menu.

Function:
In this measurement type, only the wattmeter readings are visualized. The function aids in quick
measurements that do not have to be reported or corrected. The measurements can be printed out but
not stored. This measurement type is therefore suitable for checking the transformer configuration and so
forth.
After this measurement type is started, the measurement screen appears:



Measurement (OUT-related) 37
Measurements are displayed in the measurement window with the following informational features:

Green The value is correctly measured.
Red The corresponding range is not optimally utilized, so the required accuracy is
not guaranteed.
Remedy: The appropriate range must be selected.
The corresponding range is overloaded.
Remedy: Range must be selected.

The status field at left contains status and configuration boxes. As a result, setting and adjustment of the
wattmeter can be done quickly.
Measurement:
These radio buttons make it possible to select whether phase-to-neutral or phase-to-phase
voltages are measured and displayed.
The mode of the wattmeter (active phase) can be selected with the Phase A, Phase B, Phase C, All
radio buttons.
In the All mode, the wattmeter performs a three-phase measurement. Phase A is taken as reference
phase; it must exhibit a signal in the voltage path, since otherwise the wattmeter cannot correctly
measure the powers.
Averaging
This button makes it possible to input the time over which the displayed average value is formed (1 to 64
sec.). With averaging active (greater than 1 sec.), of course, the repetition rate of measurements drops.
Because the measurement system spends practically all its time waiting for new data from the wattmeter
when averaging is active, so that operator convenience is greatly impaired (long time required to respond
to action), setup should be done with measurement stopped or with averaging = 1 sec.
Display:
These two buttons allow a choice whether normal measurement data or harmonics are to be measured
and displayed.
Remark: If harmonics are being measured, the voltage and current ranges must be set correctly ahead of
time, since the wattmeter cannot properly measure and calculate harmonics if it is underdriven.
Current values:
The optimal range for current measurement can be selected in the status box:
0.2 to 0.5 for no-load measurement
0.8 to 1.2 for all other measurements

In the heat run test, the transformer temperatures and losses are measured over an extended period of
time. The TMS supports only the loss measurement! Measurement data are automatically stored at
operator-selected intervals (each measurement stamped with time and date).
A suitable third-party system capable of recording temperatures versus measurement time must be used
for temperature measurement. An example is a Y-T chart recorder.
The two data series are then correlated on the basis of the time data and evaluated.
The result of the heat run test is then input as text in the dialog box Result and is accordingly available
in the report.
When heat run test is selected, the heat run screen appears:



Measurement (OUT-related) 57
Measurements are displayed in the measurement window with the following informational features:

Green The value is correctly measured.
Red The corresponding range is not optimally utilized, so the required accuracy is
not guaranteed.
Remedy: The appropriate range must be selected.
******* (red) The corresponding range is overloaded.
Remedy: Range must be selected.
The status field at left contains status and configuration boxes. As a result, setting and adjustment of the
heat run test can be done quickly.
Counter:
Every measurement added to the measurement file increments this counter, which thus shows how many
measurements have already been stored.
Save period:
The sampling interval is input in this box. For example, if the interval is set at 1 minute, the system
automatically stores one measurement every minute. (Values shorter than 1 minute, say 0.1 min, can be
set.)
Remark: The sampling interval shall not be shorter than the average time.
This input must be confirmed with <Enter>.
Elapsed time:
The box Time displays the elapsed test time. (The display is reset by closing the heat run test with
Exit).
Status:
While a measurement is in progress, the Status box displays Active in red.
Timer control:
Auto: The timer ( and the sampling interval ) run synchronous with the measurement.

Manual: The timer ( and the sampling interval ) run regardless of the measurement and will be controlled

by and .

Averaging
This button makes it possible to input the time over which the displayed average value is formed (1 to 64
sec.). With averaging active (greater than 1 sec.), of course, the repetition rate of measurements drops.
Because the measurement system spends practically all its time waiting for new data from the wattmeter
when averaging is active, so that operator convenience is greatly impaired (long time required to respond
to action), setup should be done with measurement stopped or with averaging = 1 sec.
Phase-phase
Voltages are measured phase-to-phase.
Remark: In this mode, the voltage ranges cannot be set separately for each phase, since otherwise the
phase-to-phase measurement cannot be done correctly.
58 Measurement (OUT-related)
Phase-neutral
Voltages are measured phase-to-neutral.

Measurement (measurement
related)
measurement related means :
This mode is left as open as possible. Instead of defining the transformer, individual measurement
configurations are predefined and measurements are then performed on the basis of these. Information
about winding nomenclature, tap selection and ratings must be input as running text here, since the
system does not recognize the transformer being measured. As a result, the test is quite versatile
though somewhat more costly.
This mode is particularly suitable for autotransformers, but also for all other applications where the
transformer does not fit into the object under test scheme (more than six windings, etc.).

Test
Before measurements can be performed with the TMS, a test must be initialized. This is done either by
setting up a new test or loading an existing test.
Only the selfcheck and the wattmeter visualization can be executed without initializing a test.

Inputting transformer data
Now the transformer data are input.

For short-circuit impedance measurement: The shorted windings are input as text in this box.For no-load
impedance measurement: This input box is left blank or filled in with - (a dash).
Guaranteed Impedance:
The guaranteed zero impedance is input in this box.

Measurement (measurement related) 85
When zero-sequence measurement is selected, the zero-sequence measurement screen appears:



Measurements are displayed in the measurement window with the following informational features:

Green The value is correctly measured.
Red The corresponding range is not optimally utilized, so the required accuracy is not
guaranteed.
Remedy: The appropriate range must be selected.
******* (red) The corresponding range is overloaded.
Remedy: Range must be selected.

For three-phase transformers, the Impedance line shows 3*(Urms/Irms); only Urms/Irms is displayed for
single-phase transformers.
The status field at left contains status and configuration boxes. In this way, the most important settings
and adjustments for the zero-sequence measurement can be made quickly.
Counter:
Every measurement added to the database, for example with the Add command, increments this
counter, which thus shows how many zero-sequence measurements have already been stored.
Settings box:
The type of zero-sequence measurement and the selected phase are determined in this box. The type
(short-circuit, no-load) influences only the title of the report printout. The wattmeter is configured on the
basis of the phase selected to be fed. Only the fed phase is displayed on the screen.
86 Measurement (measurement related)
Configuration Nr.
The selected measurement configuration is displayed in the Configuration No. box. The desired
configuration number can be selected with the

and

buttons.
Info box
All important inputs defined in the configuration are displayed here for inspection.
Phase-phase
Voltages are measured phase-to-phase.
This setting is made automatically when the configuration of the fed winding is selected in the
measurement configuration.
Remark: In this mode, the voltage ranges cannot be set separately for each phase, since otherwise the
phase-to-phase measurement cannot be done correctly.
Phase-neutral
Voltages are measured phase-to-neutral.
This setting is made automatically when the configuration of the fed winding is selected in the
measurement configuration.
Averaging
This button makes it possible to input the time over which the displayed average value is formed (1 to 64
sec.). With averaging active (greater than 1 sec.), of course, the repetition rate of measurements drops.
Because the measurement system spends practically all its time waiting for new data from the wattmeter
when averaging is active, so that operator convenience is greatly impaired (long time required to respond
to action), setup should be done with measurement stopped or with averaging = 1 sec.

Function:
In the heat run test, the transformer temperatures and losses are measured over an extended period of
time. The TMS supports only the loss measurement! Measurement data are automatically stored at
operator-selected intervals (each measurement stamped with time and date).
A suitable third-party system capable of recording temperatures versus measurement time must be used
for temperature measurement. An example is a Y-T chart recorder.
The two data series are then correlated on the basis of the time data and evaluated.
The result of the heat run test is then input as text in the dialog box Result and is accordingly available
in the report.
When heat run test is selected, the heat run screen appears:

Dangers and Safety Notes (English) 97
Dangers and Safety Notes
(English)
General Notes
In general, a high voltage system is a large danger source for accidents. Thus please observe the following
notes and safety regulations.

!

The AC Control System may only be operated by trained personnel.


!

The high voltage can only be switched on if all safety requirements are fulfilled. Thus
no safety devices of the system or the control desk are to be bridged.


!

The safety interlock is not to be shorted under any circumstances. The safety
interlock must be led around the system and any entry to the system should
open the safety interlock (e.g., connecting into door contacts, etc.).

Dangers when Working on the Control Desk

The desk / rack of the AC Control System is a unit enclosed within itself, that normally hides no dangers
from the user. The following points must nevertheless be observed:


!

The control system may only be used in a high voltage system if the earthing bolt at
the rear of the control desk is connected to the earth of the entire system.

98 Dangers and Safety Notes (English)


!

The mains lines of the control desk are no longer covered following dismantling of
the rear or front plates. Thus the mains connection for the control system must be
removed before carrying out any dismantling work. The voltage feed lines are inside
the desk and the individual devices no longer specially marked.


!

Since the high voltage can normally be switched on only from the control desk, the
user of the control system is thus responsible that no personnel are within the safety
screening.

Safety Precautions when Working with High Voltage


!

Owing to safety considerations, all work within the high voltage area should always
be supervised by a second person. Installation and operating personnel must know the
procedures following a high voltage accident.


!

All emergency off switches must always be accessible. One of the switches must be
fixed on the control desk. This switch is supplied and can be magnetically fastened to
the desk.

!

The safety interlock should only be opened after the high voltage has been switched
off.

!

The safety interlock and safety screening must never be surmounted.

Dangers of the High Voltage System



!

High voltage components, in particular capacitors, can be electrically charged even if
the high voltage is switched off. These components must thus be discharged with an
earth rod without fail whenever anyone enters the high voltage area. The tools
required for this (e.g., earth rod) must always be available in the system.

!

The earthing rod must be connected to the system earth. The earthing cable may not
be touched or stepped on during the discharge.
