connected to the item to be measured and the Test button is
pressed. The instrument will pass a current through the sample
and wait for the voltage to stabilise. If possible the current will be
increased. This procedure will be repeated until the voltage
detected falls into the range 15 mV to 200 mV. The instrument will
then continue to take readings, which will gradually decrease to
the true value as the voltage stabilises further. The operator
decides when the result is stable and presses the Test button to
terminate the test. Measurement is made with forward current only.

Unidirectional mode, on DLRO 10X only, applies a current in


one direction only. This does not enable any standing emfs to be
negated but speeds up the measurement process. Test starts
automatically when probes are connected.

APPLICATIONS

The major source of error in a transformer is a primary imped-
ance 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%.

increasing productivity. All three tests – saturation, ratio
and polarity – can be performed with the push of a button
and without changing leads. The MCT1600 has a large
display, permitting the user to easily read all pertinent data
while the test is being performed and providing the ability
to view the current transformer’s saturation curve.
Current transformers can be tested in their equipment
configuration, such as being mounted in transformers,
oil circuit breakers or switchgear. It is necessary for the
equipment to be completely isolated from the electrical
system prior to testing.

APPLICATIONS
Saturation Test
With the single push of a button, The MCT1600 performs
a CT saturation test and calculates the rated knee point.
The saturation test is performed at mains rated frequency
of 50 or 60 Hz as required by IEC regulations. The
MCT1600 will calulate the rated knee point in compliance
with IEEE C57.13.1, IEC 60044-1 or IEC 60044-6. While
the saturation test is being performed, The MCT will plot
the CT saturation curve on the large graphical display and
automatically provide the user with the rated knee point
per the desired IEEE or IEC standard. Many substation

present on the primary winding would be 1 volt. More


specifically, if 120 volts were applied to the secondary of a
600/5 current transformer (120:1 ratio), 1 volt would be
present on the primary winding. This test is performed
automatically during a CT saturation test or manually with
the output control knob and metering display. The
MCT1600 will also provide the operator with a direct
reading ratio, thus removing the need to calculate CT
ratio manually.

Polarity Test
Polarity of the current transformer under test is indicated to
the operator by a simple “Correct” or “Incorrect” indication
on the display accompanied by the measured phase angle.

Demagnetization
Normal operating conditions and typical winding resistance
measurements can cause a CT to become magnetized.

DESCRIPTION
Power transformers are some of the most vital components
in today’s transmission and distribution infrastructure.
Transformer failures cost enormous amounts of money in
unexpected outages and unscheduled maintenance. It is
important to avoid these failures and make testing and
diagnostics reliable and efficient.
The FRAX 101 Sweep Frequency Response Analyzer
(SFRA) detects potential mechanical and electrical
problems that other methods are unable to detect. Major
utilities and service companies have used the FRA method
for more than a decade. The measurement is easy to
perform and will capture a unique “fingerprint” of the
transformer. The measurement is compared to a reference
“fingerprint” and gives a direct answer if the mechanical
parts of the transformer are unchanged or not. Deviations
indicate geometrical and/or electrical changes within the Collecting fingerprint data using Frequency Response Analysis (FRA) is an
easy way to detect electro-mechanical problems in power transformers

Method Basics Analysis and Software


A transformer consists of multiple capacitances, As a general guideline, shorted turns, magnetization and
inductances and resistors, a very complex circuit that other problems related to the core alter the shape of the
generates a unique fingerprint or signature when test curve in the lowest frequencies. Medium frequencies
signals are injected at discrete frequencies and responses represent axial or radial movements in the windings and
are plotted as a curve. high frequencies indicate problems involving the cables
from the windings, to bushings and tap changers.
Capacitance is affected by the distance between
conductors. Movements in the winding will consequently
affect capacitances and change
the shape of the curve.
The SFRA method is based on
comparisons between
measured curves where
variations are detected. One
SFRA test consists of multiple
sweeps and reveals if the
transformer’s mechanical or
electrical integrity has been
jeopardized.
Practical Application
In its standard application, a

measurements between windings in the same transformer.
These comparative tests can be performed 1) before and
after transportation, 2) after severe through faults 3) before
and after overhaul and 4) as diagnostic test if you suspect
potential problems. One SFRA test can detect winding
problems that requires multiple tests with different kinds of
test equipment or problems that cannot be detected with
other techniques at all. The SFRA test presents a quick and
cost effective way to assess if damages have occurred or if
the transformer can safely be energized again. If there is a
problem, the test result provides valuable information that
can be used as decision support when determining further
action.
Having a reference measurement on a mission critical
transformer when an incident has occurred is, therefore, a
valuable investment as it will allow for an easier and more
reliable analysis.
The figure above shows a single phase transformer after a service
overhaul where, by mistake, the core ground never got connected (red),
and after the core ground was properly connected (green). This potential

Water in Oil vs. Paper


Assessing reliable moisture content in transformer
insulation based on oil sample tests is unreliable as the
water migrates between the solid insulation and oil as
temperature changes. An oil sample has to be taken at
relatively high temperature and when the transformer is in
equilibrium. Unfortunately, this is a rare state for
transformers thus resulting in unreliable assessments.
Figure 1 shows how the significant and potentially critical
difference of 0.5% respectively 3.0% moisture in paper,
correlates to the insignificant difference of 1 respectively 4
Parts Per Million (PPM) in an oil sample obtained at 20oC
(68oF) [2].
Figure 1: Water in oil vs. paper correlation is unreliable at low temperature
The Test
Dielectric loss or power factor is frequency and
temperature dependent, so by injecting test signals at
discrete frequency steps typically between 1 kHz and 1-2
mHz while recording results at each point, a curve is
created (Fig 2).
This profile represent the properties of the insulation
material in the transformer and will be used in further
analysis as described below. The oil temperature is
recorded to be used in the model analysis described
below.

The Model
The insulation between the windings in a transformer
consists of a solid and a liquid part. The solid part consists
of barriers and spacers to create an oil duct for cooling Figure 2: Power factor curve presented as capacitance and loss

purposes (Fig 3). The model formula varies all insulation


parameters to simulate every possible geometrical design.
The model also applies Arrhenius equation to compensate
for temperature dependence in the material [3].
The IDAX software creates new model curves and
compares them to the measured curve until the best
possible match is reached. The final results are presented
as a percent of moisture in paper and a separate value for
oil conductivity (Fig 4 and 5).

What Controls the Curve?


The general rule is that moisture is visible in the highest
and in lowest frequencies. Oil conductivity is dominant in
the medium frequency and the temperature shifts the curve
to the right and to the left respectively (Fig 6). Figure 3: Typical insulation design

One Point Is Not Enough


Traditional tan delta/power factor testing provides one
value at mains frequency 50/60 Hz. This is where the
IDAX method makes the difference. Figure 7 show that a
single power factor value cannot provide conclusive
information about the potential problem. At best it can
provide information that a problem exists. In this example,
two transformers have the same power factor value at 60
Hz. However, one of them is wet (3.6%) and should be
considered for a dry-out while the oil in the other unit
should be replaced or refurbished. The IDAX method
provides accurate and conclusive information in one test.

Test Procedure
The test preparation and procedure is similar to a standard Figure 6: Oil conductivity and moisture influence
tan delta/power factor test, which means that the
transformer has to be off-line and preferably disconnected.
The IDAX software operates on Windows XP and Vista
and utilizes standard USB communication. The software
guides the user through a test template where all
connections are illustrated in Figure 8. Color markings on
clamps makes it easy to connect according to the built in
instructions. The test can be started as soon as the test
cables are connected. Error messages on the screen inform
the user if there are any problems with connections or
cables.
IDAX 300, in the standard version, is equipped with an
input circuitry capable of measuring multiple test modes
without having to change cable connections on the
transformer. As an option, the IDAX 300 can be equipped
Figure 7: Blue — dry with bad oil. Red — wet with good oil
with an additional current measurement channel that
allows for two completely independent measurements at
the same time, thus minimizing test time.
The calibration set enables simple and reliable calibration
of the IDAX system. It also reduces instrument downtime
and transport cost as the calibration box is the only part
that needs to be sent in for calibration. The new design
allows calibration in any local certified calibration facility
to avoid long shipment turn-around times and transport
costs.

Conclusion
IDAX is a well-proven system for determining moisture
content in transformer insulation. The instrument and
method including the modeling software has been tested
and verified with numerous customers.

The OSM-Longshot© Waverunner Xi Unit is supplied with a 36 month Warranty (in normal use)

Software Description:
The Unit is supplied pre-programmed with 4x Integrated PD Software Packages, all of
which run under the WindowsTM operating system, as follows:

PD Gold© Data Capture and Measurement Software


For collecting synchronous, 50/60Hz Power Cycle PD data, with automatic collection of
individual PD Pulses.
The software contains a dedicated ‘Machines’ Module dedicated to the measurement of PD
Data in Rotating HV Motors and Generators.

PD Reader© Data Analysis and Reportage Software


This ‘reads’ the PDGold© files collected and automatically analyses the data collected using
the ‘Event Recogniser’ Software Module.
The software allows for standard PD Test Reports to be automatically generated.
A PC software version is also provided to allow post-analysis of the PD Data on any PC
ScopeControl© PD Pulse Capture Software
This allows the user to collect individual PD pulses from up to 4 channels simultaneously
enabling the user to carry out time-of-flight measurements of PD pulse arrival on a number of
PD sensors at once.

ScopeControlReader© PD Pulse Analysis and Reportage Software


This reads the individual PD pulses collected by the ScopeControl© software from up to 4
channels simultaneously enabling the user to carry out post-test analysis of the PD data
collected in the field.
A PC version of this software is also provided to allow post-analysis of the PD Data on any
PC owned by the customer.

Free upgrades on the above software packages are provided for 12-months from the date of
purchase. Software support packages are available beyond this 12-month period on request.

PDGold©
The PDGold© program (Main Page shown below) contains all the functions that allow control
of the OSM-Longshot instrument, to set the correct values of the acquisition parameters, to
acquire and visualise the PD dataset in order to get an immediate diagnostic response.

PDGOLD© PD ACQUISITION SOFTWARE - MAIN PAGE

The PDGold© software collects the PD data in 200x ‘slots’ across the 50Hz (or 60Hz) power
cycle, one cycle at a time, followed by a processing stage of a few seconds, followed by the
acquisition and processing of a second cycle and so on.
Each signal acquired is synchronised by the AC mains voltage waveform supply (or other
volatge signal). The software thus allows the user to observe this 360o plot of the PD
behaviour showing both the individual 20ms ‘shots’ and the cumulative measurements of all
those taken up to that point, in ‘real-time’.
For the standard PDGold© measurement this would be left to run typically for 3 to 5 minutes
with around 100 to 200 individual power cycles usually saved.

Customer Training Packages


- for users of OSM-Longshot© PD Spot Testers
Due to the technical nature of the OSM PD test technology, IPEC/HVSL strongly
recommend that the customer purchases a dedicated training course in order that they get
the maximum performance out of the OSM technology.

Page 3 of 6 June 2007


1.0 OSM-Longshot© PD Spot Testers
OSM PD Spot Testers listed contain the Standard PDGold© Software which has used been
used in the IPEC PD Spot Testers for the past 5 years.

• The PD Gold© Software’s functionality includes:


Capture of signals synchronously across the 50Hz (or 60Hz) power cycle
Provides a PD (partial discharge) threshold level for recording the number of pulses (count)
per cycle

• Noise waveforms using a second channel can be used for ‘gating’ external pulsed
interference
The software divides the power period into slots, and the peak signal is then detected for
each slot, allowing the user to observe familiar phase-related patterns of discharge.
PD levels are given in mV and dB as standard and also in pC for cable testing when used
with calibrated HFCT’s.

• A new event recogniser system is incorporated into the analysis software


Keeps segments of the PD waveforms
Classifies these PD pulses into three types: Cable PD, Switchgear PD and Noise.
This can often eliminate the need for background noise reduction.
A machine page is available for testing high voltage rotating machines (motors/generators)

• Full print preview page for outputting results to printers or adobe pdf files
The spot tester is designed for a wide variety of use including on-line PD Testing of the
insulation in HV Cables, Switchgear, Transformers, Motors/Generators and other HV Plant.
It is very able to measure on-line PD activity, and the system is offered with a variety of
sensors for this type of work.
The system is also capable of accurate laboratory measurements, where synchronous
voltage measurements and PD calibrations are needed. The time for which measurements
can be recorded is only limited by the internal RAM of the PC.
It is not unusual to run the system for several hours up to a week, with continuous data
monitoring.

The 1.0 OSM-Longshot© PD Spot Testers unit is not sold primarily as a monitoring device
(it’s primary use being PD ‘Spot Testing’.
These spot testers are not specifically designed to be permanently installed and driven
remotely, and whilst this is entirely feasible, other options are available for the permanent
monitoring application.
The PDGold© Longshot system can be considered as the most versatile (and best) PD spot
testing device on the market.
It is generally regarded that PD monitoring should be carried out by permanently installed PD
Monitors with web/remote access (for information on long-term PD Monitoring Technologies
contact your supplier).

The applications for on-line testing tend to be plant specific. Hence there are cable related
parts to the event recogniser analysis. Here the results can be expressed in pC so that
discharges on all cable types, and at all detectable distances down the cable, can be
compared in magnitude.
There are also switchgear related parts to this, where the results can be expressed in dB to
relate back to the traditional way switchgear PD results were displayed.

Options
Process controls 1) INSULATING SYSTEM
This option enables, in case of incident or of any sudden treatment failure (power cut), to insulate the plant from the electric appli-
ance to be treated and thus prevents oil from flowing into the oil treatment plant.
2) HIGH LEVEL DETECTION SYSTEM
This option enables the automatic stop of the plant when the valve which protects the vacuum pump is full. This reinforces safety and
avoids the transfer of the condensates in the vacuum pump.
3) AUTOMATIC DRAINING OF THE VALVE
This option enables an optimal protection of the vacuum network of the plant.
4) VOLTMETER / AMMETER
This option enables to visualize the power supply of the plant as well as the developed intensity in order to protect the network and
the equipment.

The oil treatment can be installed on a low speed trailer with full tyres (maximum speed : 20 km/hr).
2) ROAD TRAILER
The oil treatment plant can be installed on a road trailer. The trailer has rear lighting to meet the latest European traffic regulations
requirements. The whole installation is commissioned by the French government vehicle testing service in order to be allowed to be
driven in France and in the European countries.
3) TARPAULIN PROTECTION
The plant can be equipped with a tarpaulin type protection which protects it from bad weather.
The tarpaulin can be opened on the four sides in order to enable the access to every plant components.
4) METALLIC COVER PROTECTION
The plant can be equipped with a metallic cover type protect ion which protects it from bad weather. The cover is made of aluminium
and the frame is made of iron steel. The side panels open horizontally, close per key and are maintained thanks to gas jacks. The
panels enable the access to the components of the plant.

Transformers drying 1) TRANSFORMER DRYING


(Vacuum technology) This option enables to create a vacuum in the transformer in order to dry the active parts while the oil is being treated. The pump is
installed parallel to the first one to increase the pumping capacity of the plant.
2) DOUBLE-STAGED PUMPING GROUP
In this case, the primary vacuum pump mounted on the plant is completed with a second pump stage composed of a roots.
3) AUXILIARY VACUUM CONNECTION
This option enables to have an additional vacuum connection on the plant.
4) CONDENSER AND COOLING GROUP
This option enables an optimal protection of the pump group in case of high water content treatment.

Transformers drying 1) TRANSFER PUMP


(Oil heating and transfer) This option enables to increase the length of the flexible hoses between the plant and the transformer.
2) HIGHER HEATING POWER
The standard heating power of the oil treatment plants has been calculated for a weight ratio between oil and trans-
former about 4. In case of a higher ratio, we recommend to increase the heating power of the plant.
