AVO300
Digial Multimeter
DESCRIPTION
The AVO300 range of Megger digital multi-meters are tough
compact instruments designed for the contracting electri-
cian, but are also suitable for a wide range of
applications and users.
Both instruments offer a range of measurement modes
for AC and DC applications, resistance and current
measurement.
The AVO300 series multi-meters have tough rubber
armoured cases offering the maximum amount of
protection from the extreme use found in modern
industrial environments. They draw on extensive
experience of Megger engineers in designing safe reliable
instruments for the electrical industry.
Neither of the instruments are burdened with functions that
never get used. This keeps the instruments simple to oper-
ate without the continued need to refer to the user manual.
Auto-ranging
Every measurement range is fully auto-ranging. Simply
switch on the instrument and start testing, leaving hands
free for holding probes, or hanging onto ladders.
Separate Battery/Fuse compartment
The battery and fuse compartment are accessed by a sepa-
rate cover on the back. This allows both battery and fuses to
be replaced without opening the main instrument body, and
if the meter is sealed with a calibration seal, will not break
the seal and invalidate the calibration. A problem found on
most commonly available multi-meters.
AVO300
Digital Multimeter
■ Designed for Electricians
■ Fully auto ranging
■ Large display characters
■ Separate battery and fuse cover
■ Data hold
■ Min/Max store
■ IEC 61010 compliant
■ Suitable for applications to CATIII 600 V
Large clear display
The LCD display has large high contrast 31/2 digit display
which are easily read from a distance. Additionally the
AVO310 has a backlit LCD for use in poor lighting and a bar
graph range showing the percentage of range used.
Data HOLD
This allows a displayed result to be held on the display until
needed, rather than trying to remember a measurement.
The result will be held until the HOLD button is pressed
again, or until the unit switches off.
MODE
When making current measurements the mode function
allow the selection of AC or DC measurement.
MAX/MIN (AVO310 only)
The Max/Min function on the AVO310 freezes the maximum
or minimum measured result on the screen. The display
does not have to be continually watched to capture a
momentary increase or fall in circuit voltage, resistance or
current.
Voltage measurement
Both AC and DC voltage measurement is possible with the
instrument auto ranging to match the voltage at the test
probes.
Voltage measurements up to 1000V are permitted without
damage to the instrument.
Current measurement
Three ranges are provided for current measurement of
either AC or DC current from 0.1uA to 10A. Fused inputs
protect both the user and the instrument in the case of
excess current.

MFT1500 Series
Combined Insulation, Loop & RCD Tester
■ Combined 16th Edition testing
■ Guaranteed non-tripping loop test range
■ Backlit display and selector ranges
■ Automatic RCD testing (MFT1552 &
MFT1553 only)
■ Bluetooth downloading (MFT1553 only)
■ Illuminated switch probe
■ Selectable touch voltage
■ Touch (fault) voltage and display
■ Calibrated earth loop test lead
■ Calibration certificate
FEATURES
The MFT1500 series uses the patented Megger digital/
analogue arc display. The analogue arc provides an
indication of fluctuating readings, while the digital readout
providing the ability to record accurate results.
All test functions are selectable from the main panel, with
no hidden ranges or functions to forget.
Special functions include:
VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT
■ AC/DC Volt meter provides a means of measuring the
supply voltage independently of any other test functions,
eliminating the need to carry a separate multimeter.
Automatic selection of AC or DC measurement up to
500 V a.c./d.c.
CONTINUITY TESTING
■ 200 mA continuity from 0.01 1 to 99.9 k1 exceeds all
current requirements for testing final ring circuit
conductors, and bonding of services.
■ Automatic continuity testing commences the moment
the test probes touch the circuit to be tested, allowing
fast testing with both hands free.
■ Fast continuity buzzer is a fast buzzer tone, with no
delay on each test for the buzzer to sound, saving
valuable operator time. This test includes a fast safety
check for the presence of a voltage as the test probes
are connected to the circuit.

■ Variable buzzer threshold controls the limit at which
the continuity buzzer stops sounding. Selected from 2 1
to 100 1 in 6 steps.
■ Lead null stores the test lead resistance and deducts this
value from the continuity result, even if the instrument is
switched off. Thus reducing the chance of possible
measurement errors.
Insulation testing:
■ Insulation test at 250 V, 500 V and 1000 V for testing
low voltage applications. A 1000 V warning is issued
prior to performing the 1000 V insulation test.
■ Live circuit warning when performing insulation or
continuity measurements a live circuit warning is
displayed and an audible warning sounded if connected
to a circuit with a voltage greater than 25 V (15 V for
continuity testing).
■ Safety lockout at voltages greater than 55 V during
continuity and insulation testing, the instrument
automatically warns the operator and inhibits any
testing, preventing accidental damage to the instrument
and full protection to the operator.
■ The ‘Auto discharge’ facility safely discharges all
circuits after an insulation test, preventing accidental
shock from a stored charge on a long cable during or
after disconnection.
LOOP TESTING
■ Low current loop test is a 3 wire non-tripping
0.01 1 loop test designed to prevent RCD tripping by
using a sophisticated 15 mA loop test pioneered by
Megger Limited. This NO-TRIP test ensures the RCD will
not trip whilst performing a loop impedance test.
■ High current loop test at 25 A provides a fast loop test
where no RCD is fitted, or for Ze measurement on the
incoming side of an RCD.
■ Supply voltage and polarity indication upon
connection to the mains supply the polarity and voltage
are displayed to show correct wiring of the socket under
test or test lead connections. This function also provides
a warning of live voltages while continuity or insulation
testing.
■ Phase-Phase Phase-Neutral and Phase-Earth Loop Tests
are possible. No danger of damage from accidental 3-
phase connection.
■ Wide supply voltage; allows loop measurements from
55 V to 480 V. No damage if accidentally connected
across phases.
■ Prospective short-circuit current (PSC) A dedicated
PSC range, using either the 25 A high current loop test or
no-trip test, is provided for rapid measurement of Loop
currents, both at the socket outlet and distribution
board. The PSC ranges from 1 A to 19.9 kA with a
resolution of 1 A, 10 A and 100 A depending on range. All
the loop and PSC tests are auto-ranging.
MFT1500 Series
Combined Insulation, Loop & RCD Tester
RCD TESTING:
■ 10 mA to 1000 mA RCD ranges. All standard RCDs
from 10 mA to 1000 mA are fully supported. All standard
RCD test functions are available with both 0° and 180°
phase angle at 1/2I, I and 5I up to 300 mA.
■ RCD ramp test measures the RCD trip current. The
ramp test displays the actual trip current on all RCD
ranges instead of trip time. Ideal for identifying nuisance
tripping RCDs. The current is stepped up from 1/2I to I in
200 ms steps.
■ Fault (Touch) voltage can now be set for either 25 V or
50 V depending on application.
■ Fault/touch voltage can also be displayed up to 100 V on
a selectable bargraph.
■ DC sensitive, RCD test option enables testing at 1/2I,
I and 5I.
GENERAL FEATURES:
■ Quick to pick up and use by using colour coded
ranges and no hidden functions the MFT1500 series takes
minutes to learn how to use. Function buttons are
colour matched to the test mode to ensure easy
operation.
■ Visible and audible Safety warning features are
paramount with live circuit warning and protection
circuitry. If live voltages exist on a circuit during
insulation or continuity testing the voltage is displayed
on the screen. If this voltage exceeds a safe level, the
MFT1500 series inhibits further testing and a warning
beeper sounds for extra safety.
■ Large easy-to-read LCD using the patented Megger
digital/analogue arc technology - combining high speed
analogue clarity with digital stability. Making it easy to
read even in low light level.
■ Economical with batteries by incorporates an auto
shut off facility that operates after 5 minutes of inactivity,
reducing wasted battery consumption.
■ Innovative test lead connection has been developed
for the MFT1500 series. The unique shutter system
allows only those combinations of test leads permitted
for safe testing to be connected. Unsafe or unnecessary
options cannot be connected.
■ Rubber over-moulded case. The ergonomic rubber
moulding provides a secure comfortable hold, whilst
providing maximum protection with IP54 weather proof
rating.
■ Calibration certificate
■ 3 year warranty
MFT1502/2 Additional features
Illuminated switched probe shines a new light on
testing.
A fully featured test probe allows for single-handed
operation and test status indication. Probe features include:

MIT520/2 and MIT1020/2
5 kV and 10 kV Insulation Resistance
Testers
DESCRIPTION
The new 5 and 10 kV insulation resistance testers from
Megger are designed specifically to assist you with the
testing and maintenance of high voltage electrical
equipment. IEEE 43-2000 recommends the use of 10 kV for
motor windings rated above 12 kV and the Megger
MIT1020/2 facilitates this. The case is incredibly rugged and
easy to carry, being made of tough polypropylene and
achieving an ingress protection rating of IP65. In addition,
the model number is marked on both sides of the case for
ease of identification in stores or vehicles.
The instruments have a large easy to read backlit LCD
display making it equally suitable for use in both bright
sunlight and poorly lit environments. Information displayed
includes resistance, voltage, leakage current, capacitance,
battery status and time constant. In addition, the elapsed
time of the test is displayed constantly, removing the need
for separate timers. Adjustable timers and limit alarms are
included.
The instrument can test when being powered by the mains
or its internal rechargeable battery, a great benefit when site
conditions are unknown or long term testing is required.
The controls of the instrument are clear and unambiguous
and a "quick start" guide is included in the lid of the
instrument removing the need to carry bulky manuals
under site conditions.

I RS232 and USB download of results to
Megger Download Manager
I On board memory for results storage
The instrument is fitted with a guard terminal to enhance
accuracy. The guard test lead is included as standard with
the instrument.
To further enhance the flexibility of the instruments both
have the facility to set the test voltage in steps from 50 V to
the maximum output voltage avoiding the expense of
several insulation resistance testers to meet your application
needs.
These IR instruments are designed to meet the highest
safety standards and meet the requirements of EN61010. In
addition, the instrument measures the voltage at the
terminals and if this is above 50 V then the instrument will
display the high voltage warning and inhibit testing. At the
end of the test the instrument will automatically discharge
the energy transferred to the equipment during the test
phase.
The MIT520/2 and MIT1020/2 are equally suited to routine
testing and diagnostic regimes being pre-programmed with
IR, PI, DAR, SV and DD profiles.

MTO210
Transformer Ohmmeter
DESCRIPTION
The MTO210 Transformer Ohmmeter is a line-operated,
field-portable instrument designed specifically to measure
the dc resistance of all types of magnetic windings safely
and accurately. It can test rotating machine windings and
perform low-current resistance measurements on
connections, contacts and control circuits.
The MTO210 employs a patented “Quick Test”
measurement technique, which stabilizes the measurement
current in the shortest time possible in order to
significantly reduce test times.
Also, the dual set of potential inputs measures the
resistance of the primary and secondary windings of a
single- or three-phase transformer simultaneously. This
dual reading characteristic, along with the bi-directional
current output capability, also help to speed up the
measurements when used to test windings on three-phase
transformers.
The Transformer Ohmmeter is extremely useful when
testing the windings and contact resistance of tap-changers
with “make-before-break” contacts and voltage regulators.
This action will check for pitted or misaligned contacts as
the instrument will give an indication if either condition
occurs.
Users are protected by the auto-shutdown safety feature.
Any inadvertent disconnection of a test lead or loss of
power to the instrument will safely discharge the energy
stored in the test sample.
APPLICATIONS
The MTO210 Transformer Ohmmeter is used:
■ To verify factory test readings
■ As part of a regular maintenance program
MTO210
Transformer Ohmmeter
■ Direct 2-channel digital reading
■ Patented “Quick Test” measurement technique
■ 0.25% measurement accuracy
■ Integrated demagnetization feature
■ Tests operation of on-load tap-changers
■ Auto safety discharge circuit provided
■ To help locate the presence of defects in transformers,
such as loose connections
■ To check the “make-before-break” operation of on-load
tap-changers
A regular maintenance program that includes winding
resistance measurements is the most effective way to use
this instrument. Once a benchmark is established,
subsequent test results can be compared to determine if
changes are occurring in the transformers and associated
control wiring, voltage regulators, motors, generators,
breaker contacts, and all types of connections (bolted,
soldered, crimped, etc.).
Tap-changers are mechanical devices and the most
vulnerable part of a transformer. Tap-changers result in
more failures and outages than any other component and
so require frequent testing and attention to ensure proper,
reliable operation.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
■ Direct 2-channel digital reading allows for testing two-
windings at a time without the need for time-consuming
bridge balancing.
■ Patented “Quick Test” measurement technique minimizes
test time.
■ User-selectable maximum current range ensures
protection of small transformers.
■ Bi-directional current output capability allows the unit to
take advantage of any existing magnetization of the
transformer core to help stabilize test currents quicker in
order to reduce test times.
■ Built-in demagnetization circuitry allows the operator to
de-magnetize the transformer core, either before or
upon completion of resistance testing, or as a stand-
alone feature.

DLRO 10 and DLRO 10X
Digital Microhmmeter
DESCRIPTION
DLRO 10 and DLRO 10X set the standards for low resistance
measurement. DLRO 10 and DLRO 10X are fully automatic
instruments, selecting the most suitable test current up to 10A d.c.
to measure resistance from 0.1 µΩ to 2000 Ω, on one of seven
ranges.
For users who desire more control over the measurement process,
DLRO 10X uses a menu system controlled by a two-axis paddle to
allow the user to manually select the maximum test current.
DLRO 10X also adds real time download of results and on board
storage for later download to a PC.
Both instruments are built into a strong, lightweight case that is
equally at home in the field or in the laboratory. Light enough to
be worn around the neck, they are small enough to be taken into
areas that were previously too small to access.
DLRO 10 uses a large, bright 4 1/2 -digit LED display while DLRO
10X has a large, backlit LCD display. Normally, measurements are
made with forward and reverse currents to cancel the effects of
any standing voltages across the test sample.
The average value is then displayed within 3 seconds, to a basic
accuracy of 0.2%. DLRO 10X displays both forward and reverse
measurements as well as the average of the two.
DLRO 10X allows the user to set high and low pass limits, thereby
enabling simple go-no-go testing.
At the end of a test DLRO10X will store the test results, as well as
any notes relevant to the test.
DLRO 10 AND DLRO10X
Digital Microhmmeter
■ Auto current reversal cancels standing
emfs
■ Protected to 600 V
■ Automatically detects continuity in
potential and current connections
■ Multiple operating modes including fully
automatic
■ Alpha-numeric keypad for entering test
notes (DLRO 10X)
■ User selectable high and low limits
(DLRO 10X)
■ Printer output and memory (DLRO 10X)
To assist operator safety and ease of use, both instruments are
supplied complete with a pair of duplex handspikes with 1.2 m
(4 ft) leads. One of the probes is fitted with LED’s, which
duplicate indicators on the instrument display indicating that all
four contacts have been made, the presence of a high voltage
across the load, and the presence of current flow while a load is
discharging. A full range of test leads is available with probes,
clamps and Kelvin clips.
Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries power the instruments.
The battery packs are interchange-able so that an exhausted
battery may be recharged using the external charger supplied
while testing continues using a spare pack. Although full charging
will take 4 hours, a fast charge mode allows the battery to be 90%
charged within 2 1/2 hours from a 12 volt battery or from a
standard 120/230 V AC supply via the supplied charger. The
battery pack contains its own battery state indicator, which allows
the charge-state to be monitored, even without being connected
to the instrument.
DLRO 10X is fitted with RS232 communications that will allow
results to be downloaded in real time or stored for later retrieval.
Up to 700 sets of results may be stored within DLRO 10X
complete with notes containing up to 200 characters which may
be added using the on board keypad. These results can also be
downloaded to a PC.
MEASUREMENT MODES:
A variety of measurement modes are available. Since the
introduction of V2.0 firmware, Normal, Auto, Continuous and
Inductive mode are available on both the DLRO 10 and the
DLRO 10X.

take a few seconds or several minutes. The test leads are firmly
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 needs for accurate low resistance measurement are well
known and very diverse. They range through Goods Receiving

TTR®300 Series
3-Phase Transformer Turns Ratio Test Sets
TTR330 shown
DESCRIPTION
The TTR300 Series of three-phase transformer turns ratio
test sets are designed to measure the turns ratio of power,
instrument, and distribution transformers in a substation or
manufacturing environment. A rugged and robust design
makes these instruments well suited for use in a variety of
harsh environments. Our leads are specially designed to
provide the necessary flexibility needed in cold weather.
The TTR300 Series are ideal for use by power transformer
manufacturers. Their unique testing procedures and
storage capability allows an operator to set up and test
difficult three-phase transformers (with multiple tap
changers and bushing CTs) in a fraction of the time than it
used to take with other TTRs. This test also includes a
pass/fail limit of individual ratios.
The TTR300 Series also measure the phase deviation of the
transformer primary versus secondary. This quickly
indicates problems in the transformer such as partial
shorted turns and core faults. This measurement is also
useful in verifying phase errors in all types of PTs and CTs.
Each unit comes equipped with a remote-control switch
for single person testing. This allows the operator to test
transformers with LTCs very quickly.

The TTR330 offers a new user interface which allows the
operator to interact with the PowerDB ONBOARD
software system via full QWERTY and navigation keypads
as displayed on an 8.4” VGA bright-color screen. One of
the primary benefits of this interface is that it displays the
actual test form on the screen. An advanced feature of the
TTR330 allows the user to customize these test forms via
optional full-version PowerDB.
Other primary features of the TTR330 include three
communications ports (two USB, one Ethernet). The USB
“host” ports can be used for connecting directly to an
optional printer (to print full size 8.5” x 11” completed test
forms) and for data storage to a USB memory device (for
later printing, analysis, archiving, and/or trending). The
Ethernet port allows the TTR330 to interface (on a bi-
directional basis) directly to a PC.

PowerDB LITE™ Acceptance & Maintenance
Test Data Management Software
All four units in the TTR300 Series come complete, at no
extra charge, with PowerDB LITE (a new powerful PC
Windows® based software program). PowerDB LITE allows
the operator to completely program a test routine, in
advance, for a transformer, save it under the transformer
ID number, and then recall it in the future as required.
Testing on the TTRs can be performed in a remote control
manner, via PowerDB LITE. Once testing is complete on
all of the instruments, results are easily downloaded to the
external PC in an “open” XML data format. The
instruments’ internal memory also maintains historical data-
files so that, through interface to PowerDB LITE, current
and past results can be archived, compared, analyzed,
displayed in trend charts, and compiled into Test Reports.
Control of the TTRs in this remote-control manner offers
the following benefits:
■
Easy to use interface between operator and instrument.
■ Problems such as PASS/FAIL are flagged visually using a
RED highlight.
■
Easily recall transformer setups from a custom settings
menu.
■ Quickly download results to the PC for completing a
transformer test report.
PowerDB™ (full version) Acceptance &
Maintenance Test Data Management Software
As an enhancement over the PowerDB LITE software
(described above), a powerful “full version” PowerDB
software is also available on the TTR300 Series as an
option. PowerDB LITE and the internal architecture of the
TTR Series has a seamless interface to the full version
PowerDB, PC based software application.
Multiple data files (from multiple instruments) can
automatically be fed to PowerDB in order to generate
comprehensive asset analysis in the form of Reports
containing table of contents, test data sheets, commentary,
and deficiency summaries.

PowerDB™ ONBOARD Acceptance & Maintenance
Test Data Management Software (Model TTR330
only)
The “PowerDB ONBOARD” logo means PowerDB
software is running on a computer embedded within the
TTR330. This powerful feature provides the TTR330 with
a common “User Interface” to minimize operator training
and provides a seamless interface to the full PowerDB
(PC version) application.
Easy-to-read on-screen test forms provide the user
interface for instrument set-up and test operation. Results
are displayed against pass/fail nameplate limits and can be
stored (either internally or to a USB storage device) in an
open XML data format.
The ONBOARD software also maintains a historical data
file so that, while in the field, current and past results can
be analyzed, compared, and displayed in trend charts
without the need of an external computer. An 8.5” x 11”
test form can also be printed in the field via an optional
USB printer, and without the use of an external computer.
Built-in Memory
The TTRs come equipped with sufficient internal memory
to store test results. The outcome of the results are based
on the model:
TTR310: stores up to 200 three-phase data sets in the field
for later retrieval. Test results can be printed on an
optional printer (using thermal spool paper) whenever a
hard copy is desired, or the data can be downloaded to a
PC for archiving, analysis, trending, and/or printing. The
system software allows entry of the transformer
alphanumeric serial number, transformer type and tap
information for each test performed.
TTR320: stores up to 100,000 data sets in the field for
later retrieval. Test results can be printed on an optional
printer (using thermal spool paper) whenever a hard copy
is desired, or the data can later be downloaded to a PC for
archiving, analysis, trending, and/or printing. Identification
of individual test readings is also easily done. The system

TTR™100
Single-Phase Handheld TTR
DESCRIPTION
The Megger TTR100 is an automatic single-phase
handheld, battery operated transformer turns ratio test set
used to measure the turns ratio, excitation current, phase
displacement, dc resistance and polarity of windings in
single- and three-phase distribution transformers (tested
phase by phase), potential & current transformers, and
tapped transformers. Deviations in the mentioned
measurements will quickly indicate problems in
transformer windings or in the magnetic core circuits.
The unique design of the TTR100 allows the user to
operate the test set while holding it in one hand. No other
transformer test set offers this capability. It effectively
eliminates the user from having the kneel or bend over to
operate the instrument and speeds up testing time.
Realizing the extreme environments in which the TTR100
must operate, special attention has been paid to making it
extra rugged, with a high impact, shock resistant case, yet
incredibly lightweight (3.3 lb). It weights less than any
other commercially available instrument on the market.
Its rugged and robust design makes this instrument well
suited for use in a variety of harsh environments. The
TTR100 is particularly suited for testing in substations and
transformer-manufacturing environments where testing
single and three-phase transformers can be performed.
The TTR100 provides reliable results, helping the user in
determining the condition of the transformer under test. It
features a high contrast LCD screen which can be seen in
bright or ambient light.
TTR™100
Single-Phase Handheld TTR
■ Fully automatic; fast; easy-to-use;
handheld; robust; lightweight
■ Battery powered with power-saving and
shutdown function
■ Tests turns ratio, phase displacement,
excitation current, vector group, winding
resistance and polarity
■ Alphanumeric keyboard
■ RS232 for data transfer and printing
■ Stores 200 test results and 100 user-
defined transformer test settings
■ Six user-selectable languages
The TTR100 comes equipped with specially designed leads
which provide the necessary flexibility needed in all
weather conditions.
This unit measures the highest turns ratio in the industry
with an accuracy of 0.1% or better and with the lowest
excitation voltage. No other instrument’s performance is
comparable that is commercially available today. Another
excellent feature of this TTR is the ability to accurately
measure phase deviation (in minutes or centiradians) of
the transformer primary versus secondary. This
measurement is also useful in verifying phase errors in PTs
and CTs.
The TTR100 features special software capabilities. It comes
equipped with sufficient onboard memory to store up to
200 test results (including test report header information)
in the field for later retrieval, as well as 100 user-defined
transformer settings. Test results can be printed on an
optional serial printer whenever a hard copy is desired, or
the data can be downloaded to a PC. Identification of
individual test readings is also easily done. The system
software allows entry of the transformer alphanumeric
serial number, transformer type and tap information
(numerical, alphabetical, or alpha-numerical) for each test
performed.
The TTR100 comes with a Windows® based software
program that permits download of test data from the
instrument to a PC database. Data stored in the database
can be retrieved at a later date and test reports can be
printed to assist in the preparation of management and/or
analysis reports. These reports are easily transmitted via e-
mail.

APPLICATIONS
The proper operation of a transformer relies almost
entirely on the electrical properties of its windings. To
ensure continued proper operation, transformers are tested
to verify that their electrical properties have not changed
from design specifications. A TTR is an extremely useful
instrument for testing transformer windings because it can
locate several types of problems within a single- or a
three-phase transformer. It is also ideal to use for testing in
meter shops for the inspection of CTs and PTs. It can
determine the no-load accuracy of CTs and PTs and also
determine the need to further test faulty CTs and PTs.
The TTR100 applies voltage, with voltage ratio being
directly proportional to turns ratio, to the high-voltage
winding of a transformer and accurately measures the
resulting voltage from the low voltage winding. In addition
to turns ratio, the unit measures excitation current, phase
angle deviation between the high and low voltage
windings, percent ratio error, dc winding resistance and
polarity.
Transformer Turns Ratio
Transformer Turns Ratio is the ratio of the number of turns
in the high voltage winding to that in the low voltage
winding.
A Transformer Turns Ratio Test Set such as the TTR100 can
directly measure the ratio of single phase, as well as three
phase transformers. Transformer ratio can change due to
several factors, including physical damage from faults,
deteriorated insulation, contamination and shipping
damage. If a transformer ratio deviates more than 0.5
percent from the rated voltage ratio, it may not operate
reliably. To measure small ratio changes such as this, the
accuracy of a Megger TTR100 is needed.
Excitation Current
The TTR100 is capable of measuring exciting current by
applying voltage to one of the transformers windings. An
accurate measurement of exciting current can provide
information about the condition of a transformer’s core.
Unwanted circulating currents or unintentional grounds
can affect the exciting current and indicate a problem.
Phase Angle Deviation
The phase angle deviation is the relationship between the
voltage signal applied to the high voltage winding and the
voltage signal extracted from the low voltage winding.
The phase deviation between the high and low side of a
transformer is generally very small. However, the phase
deviation can change significantly if there is deterioration
or damage in the transformer core. The TTR100 can
measure this phase relationship with the resolution
necessary to detect a problem.
Additional information about a transformer’s electrical
properties can be found in the IEEE Standard Test Code
for Transformers, C57.12.90, or by contacting Megger’s
technical support group.
Winding Resistance
Measuring the DC resistance of transformer windings will
aid in identifying problems such as shorted or open
windings, as well as loose connections.
TTR™100
Single-Phase Handheld TTR
The Megger TTR100 can measure the DC resistance of
both single phase and three phase transformer windings.
Transformer Polarity
Polarity of a distribution transformer becomes of interest in
order to determine its proper connection within a power
network.
The Megger TTR100 will identify subtractive and additive
polarity of the single-phase distribution transformers.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
■ Faster, easier handheld operation. User no longer has to
kneel or bend down to operate the instrument.
■ Powered by rechargeable battery, provides up to fifteen
hours of field operation.
■ Report header information such as company name,
substation name, transformer manufacturer, transformer
ratio, operator, temperature and %RH can be entered and
saved via the alphanumeric keypad.
■ Measures the widest turns ratio range in the industry
(20,000:1) with the highest accuracy (±0.1%, 0.8 to 2000) at
a low excitation voltage.
■ Enables the operator to enter the ratio of the transformer
and all of its taps. This allows the operator to know
immediately when a tap is outside the acceptable limits so
that problem taps can be easily identified.
■ Records ratio errors for bushing CTs to an accuracy of
±0.1% nameplate. This reduces the need for additional test
equipment and improves set-up time.
■ Measures the phase deviation (in minutes, degrees or
centiradians) of the transformer primary versus secondary.
This quickly indicates problems in the transformer such as
partial shorted turns and core faults. This measurement is
also useful in verifying phase errors in all types of PTs and
CTs.
■ Perfect for meter shops, the TTR100 can be used for
inspection purposes by using it to determine the no-load
accuracy of most CTs and PTs. It also can be used to
determine the need to further test potentially faulty CTs
and PTs.
■ The TTR100 is ideal for use by transformer
manufacturers. Its unique testing procedures and storage
capability allows an operator to set up and test single and
three-phase transformers (with multiple tap changers and
bushing CTs) in minimal time.
■ A “Quick Test” mode provides a fast determination of
the turns ratio, excitation current, phase angle deviation,
and winding resistance in single- and three-phase
transformers and CTs. In addition, polarity is provided for
CTs and single-phase transformers.
■ Displays all measured and calculated values for each test
including ratio, excitation current, ratio error, phase angle
deviation, transformer vector group, winding resistance
and polarity thus providing comprehensive and conclusive
data
■ Automatic self-calibration for each test.

TTR™25
Handheld TTR
DESCRIPTION
The Megger TTR25 is an automatic hand-held battery
operated transformer turns ratio test set. It is used to
measure the turns ratio, excitation current and polarity of
windings in single- and three-phase distribution and power
transformers (tested phase by phase), potential & current
transformers, and tapped transformers.
The unique design of the TTR25 allows the user to operate
the test set while holding it in one hand. It effectively
eliminates the user from having to kneel or bend down to
operate the instrument and speeds up testing time.
Realizing the extreme environments in which the TTR25
must operate, special attention has been paid to making it
extra rugged, with a high impact, shock resistant case, yet
incredibly lightweight at a mere 870 g (1.9 lbs).
Its design makes this instrument well suited for use in a
variety of harsh environments. The TTR25 is particularly
suited for testing in substations, transformer-manufacturing
environments, and meter shops. It features a high-contrast,
backlit LCD screen which can be seen in bright or ambient
light.
This unit measures a high turns ratio of 20,000:1 accurately
with the lowest excitation voltage. The excellent
repeatability of the TTR25 helps the users to determine the
condition of transformers under test. It is designed for
simple, one button operation with the measured results
displayed directly on the easy to read LCD or printed to
the optional printer. The TTR25 needs no additional
software and comes ready to use complete out of the box.
APPLICATIONS
The proper operation of a transformer relies almost
entirely on the electrical properties of its windings. To
ensure continued proper operation, transformers are tested

to verify that their electrical properties have not changed
from design specifications. A TTR is an extremely useful
instrument for testing transformer windings because it can
help locate several types of problems within single- and
three-phase transformers.
It it used to determine the no-load accuracy of CTs and
PTs and also determine the need to further test faulty CTs
and PTs. The TTR25 applies voltage to the high-voltage
winding of a transformer and accurately measures the
resulting voltage from the low voltage winding. The ratio
of voltages is directly proportional to turns ratio. In
addition, the unit measures excitation current and polarity.
Transformer Turns Ratio
A Transformer Turns Ratio Test Set such as the TTR25 can
directly measure the turns ratio of single-phase
transformers as well as three-phase transformers.
Deviations in these measurements will quickly indicate
problems in transformer windings and in the magnetic
core circuits. Transformer ratio can change due to several
factors, including physical damage from faults, deteriorated
insulation, contamination and shipping damage. If a
transformer ratio deviates more than 0.5 percent from the
rated voltage ratio, it may not operate reliably. To measure
small ratio changes such as this, the accuracy of a Megger
TTR25 is needed.
Transformer Polarity
Polarity of a distribution transformer becomes of interest in
order to determine its proper connection within a power
network. The Megger TTR25 will identify normal (in
phase) and reverse polarity of the single-phase
transformers.

ratio.
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%.

MCTT-10
Current Transformer Tester
DESCRIPTION
The MCTT-10 test set is a portable unit for performing
saturation and ratio tests on current transformers using the
voltage-comparison method. Model MCTT-10 provides a
variable voltage output and precision instrumentation for
testing single and multi-ratio CTs. All tests, saturation and
ratio – can be performed without changing any leads.
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 totally isolated from the electrical system
prior to testing.
Saturation and ratio tests are critical to ensure proper
electrical system reliability. Saturation tests are performed
on CT’s to make sure that when a fault occurs the proper
secondary current signals are delivered to the protective
devices. If a CT does not deliver proper secondary
current signals to a protective device because of core
saturation, it is probable that the protection scheme will
not operate correctly. A CT ratio test is performed to
ensure that the secondary current signals are proportional
and correct, in relation to the primary current.
APPLICATIONS
Saturation Test
MCTT-10 provides a variable voltage output and digital
instrumentation for measuring the excitation voltage and
excitation current, that results as the voltage applied to the
CT under test is increased. As the CT under test begins to
saturate, a large increase in current will be detected for a
small increase in voltage.
MCTT-10
Current Transformer Tester
■ Performs saturation and ratio tests on CTs
using the voltage-comparison method
■ Tests bushing CTs mounted inside
transformers or switchgear
■ Eliminates the need for large Primary
Injection Test Systems to test CT
saturation and ratio
■ Saturation and ratio tests performed
without changing test lead connections
■ Overload and short-circuit protection
Ratio Test
The ratio test is performed by comparing a voltage applied
to the secondary winding to the resulting voltage
produced on the primary winding. For example, if 1 volt
per turn is applied to the secondary winding, the voltage
present on the primary winding will be 1 volt. More
specifically, if 120 volts were applied to the secondary of a
600/5 current transformer (120:1 ratio), 1 volt will be
present on the primary winding.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
■ The MCTT-10 utilizes the voltage comparison method.
This provides the user wth the ability to measure the CT
ratio without the heavy and large equipment needed to
test a CT ratio using the current method. Many of the
devices using the current-comparison method exceed
100 lbs (45 kg). The MCTT-10 is only 37 lbs (16.8 kg).
■ A RUN/HOLD switch freezes readings on instruments
when switched to the HOLD position. This permits the
user to freeze all the MCTT-10 meters for simultaneous
readings.
■ A low range of 40 volts is provided for CTs that saturate
at low voltages. A low voltage output range permits the
MCTT-10 to test low saturation CT’s with the appropriate
resolution.
■ The unit provides a high range of 1000 volts. This
allows the MCTT-10 to test nearly all protection CT’s
with high saturation knee points.
■ A zero-start interlock is incorporated in the unit. This
minimizes the possibility of energizing the CT test with a
sudden high voltage, while under test.

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.
The MCT1600 has the ability to automatically demagnetize
the CT under test. This automatic demagnetization routine
is useful to ensure that the CT Saturation test yield correct
results. Prior to testing demagnification is recommended
per ANSI C57.13.1.
Insulation Resistance Test
In order to ensure that the CT secondary wiring is properly
insulated, the MCT1600 system includes a 500/1000V
insulation resistance test system. This test ensures that the
CT secondary winding and secondary wiring is properly
insulated per ANSI C57.13.1.
Note: Disconnect all electronic loads before performing
this test.
Complete report generation with PowerDb Lite
The operator also has the option to print any catalogued
test results immediately using an optional printer,
providing hard copy of test reports immediately upon CT
test completion.
Onboard memory allows complete test results and data to
be stored in one complete file, permitting easy access to
quick construction of reports such as saturation curve with
knee point. The MCT1600 test file is saved in a Microsoft
XML format, thus the data is available to any application
that will accept an XML format.
Upgradeability
The MCT1600 includes the ability to upgrade the user
interface and testing capability using updates supplied on
a USB memory device and a simple “upgrade” command.
This upgrade capability permits the MCT1600 system to
improve as new testing needs are developed.

Introduction
ETP System is a complete predictive
maintenance instrument for transformers,
allowing us to detect the problems before
its unexpected appearance and to remove
the high costs of urgent maintenance
actions, transport and non-planned
downtime.
The normal operation of a transformer can
be altered by several factors. Diagnostic
systems are based on the periodic
realization of tests that try to determine
when a problem can occur. These
problems can affect from an abnormal
way to some or several of transformer
components. Evaluation and diagnostic
systems can be electrical or physical-
chemical. ETP System are based on
electrical test that can determine:

Liquid and solid condition

Electric circuit condition

Magnetic Core condition

Winding displacement
The advantage provided by ETP System is
to allow a predictive maintenance
philosophy, where corrective actions can
be programmed with enough time and in a
more efficient manner. This kind of
maintenance is being introduced in all
companies with big electrical machines.
The ETP System introduction produces a
maintenance costs reduction.
ETP System makes several measurements
with the capacity of detect and confirm

ETP System is applicable to any kinds
of transformers :

Power transformers

Distribution transformer

Autotransformers

Measurement transformer (only

Single or three-phase.
Each problem that can be detected in the
transformers will come in many situations
indicated at least by two measurements,
making easier the decision process. ETP
System carries out the following
measurements:

Automatic three-phase turns ratio.

Recovery voltage test/Insulation
Resistance test/Polarization Index.
Description
A variety of stresses occur during the
lifetime of transformers, arising from
mechanical, electrical, contamination
effects and lightning discharges in
thunderstorms. Of among these, it is
necessary to highlight the following ones:

Opening and closing of breakers

Short circuit

Earth connection

Continuous overloads

Transie nt overloads
These lead to a number of different failure
modes with perhaps catastrophic results,
Quality of Service (QoS), economical and
technical.

the complexity of transformers.

methods of evaluation:

the most of times it is impossible.
Anyway the first ETP test that you
perform will give you a complete
information about the transformer state
and therefor e the actions that you might
carry out on it, being a perfect start point
to monitoring the transformer ageing.
After this first test, if you test routinely
and keep records of the results generated
by ETP System, you can keep track of the
condition of the transformer as it
deteriorates over time.
The recommended time between test will
depend on the machine status: a very old
or damaged machine must be tested in
shorter periods than a new or very good
status one. Repeating the test regularly for
routine maintenance yearly may be
appropriate if it is essential to keep the
apparatus in operation at all times. Testing
at one to four years intervals
may be sufficient for other
2/13

applications. You should also test the
transformer before and after a repair has
been performed on the equipment before
it is re-energized.
Field experience and economics

based on a theoretical principles and a
great field testing experience.
ETP System was developed in

ETP Method
It’s very important in order to make
predictive maintenance that all tests will
be comparative in time, removing all the
mistakes caused by measuring instrument,

manage to make this, is using automatic
measure systems and closed tests, in
which user hasn’t got any possibility of
chance and the measured values are
standardised automatically in external
factors like temperature.
ETP System is very simple to use. A lot of
measuring instruments failed in it’s own
difficulty. All ETP measuring units are
running in the same way, guiding the user
in all testing and analysing process.
The ETP technique takes all
measurements under Windows T M based
PC control, which prompts the user during
test process including the correct

so the testing is easy to carry out.

The UM1B is a unit to measure the
turns ratio of power and distribution
transformers or autotransformers both
mono-phase and three-phase.
For measuring the turns ratio, the unit
applies the voltage test to the high
voltage winding of the transformer and
measures the voltage induced in the low
voltage winding. The equipment also
measures the excitation current and
phase angle deviation between the
different magnitudes: V1, V2 and I1.

On the other hand, UM2B and UM3B that
make DC test.
As voltage used is far from the

totally non-destructive for the machine.
With the turns ratio measurement it is
possible to detect problems in the

UM3B is a low resistance ohmmeter
specially designed for the resistance

In a single test, UM3B provides the
simple and compound resistance value for
each winding: both high and low voltage
and tertiary. Furthermore, to calculate the
results, the system takes into account the
transformer connection group, and the
temperature at which the test is carried
out, as such results are provided at the
reference temperature specified by the

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

FRAX 101 detects problems such as:

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
“finger print” reference curve
for each winding is captured when the transformer is new An example of low, medium and high frequencies
or when it is in a known good condition. These curves can
later be used as reference during maintenance tests or
when there is reason to suspect a problem. The FRAX Software provides numerous features to allow
for efficient data analysis. Unlimited tests can be open at

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
problem clearly showed up at frequencies between 1 kHz and 10 kHz and
a noticeable change is also visible in the 10 kHz - 200 kHz range.

Considerations When Performing SFRA
Measurements
SFRA measurements are compared over time or between
different test objects. This accentuates the need to perform
the test with the highest repeatability and eliminates the
influence from external parameters such as cables,
connections and instrument performance. FRAX offers all
the necessary tools to ensure that the measured curve
represents the internal condition of the transformer.
Good Connections
Bad connections can
compromise the test results
which is why FRAX offers a
rugged test clamp that
ensures good connection to
the bushings and solid
connections to the
instrument.
Contacts made with the C-clamp
guarantee good connections
Shortest Braid
Concept
The connection from the cable shield to ground has to be
the same for every measurement on a given transformer.
Traditional ground connections techniques have issues
when it comes to providing repeatable conditions. This
causes unwanted variations in the measured response for
the highest frequencies that makes analysis difficult.
The FRAX braid drops down from the connection clamp
next to the insulating discs to the ground connection at
the base of the bushing. This creates near identical
conditions every time you connect to a bushing whether
it is tall or short.
The laptop can be operated by touch screen and the communication is
wireless via Bluetooth. Measurement ground braids connect close to the
connection clamps and run next to the bushing to the flange connection
to avoid cable loops that otherwise affect the measurement.
FRAX 101
Sweep Frequency Response Analyzer
The Power of Wireless
FRAX 101 uses class 1 Bluetooth® wireless communication.
Class 1 Bluetooth® has up to 100 m range and is designed
for industrial applications. An optional internal battery
pack is available for full wireless flexibility. Shorter and
more light-weight cables can be used when the user is
liberated from cable communication and power supply
cables.
A standard USB interface (galvanically isolated) is included
for users who prefer a direct connection to their PC.
IMPORT AND EXPORT
The FRAX software can import data files from other FRA
instruments making it possible to compare data obtained
using another FRA unit. FRAX can import and export data
according to the international XFRA standard format as
well as standard CSV and TXT formats.
Optimized Sweep Setting
The software offers the user an unmatched feature that
allows for fast and efficient testing. Traditional SFRA
systems use a logarithmic spacing of measurement points.
This results in as many test points between 20Hz and
200Hz as between 200KHz and 2MHz and a relatively long
measurement time.
The frequency response from the transformer contains a
few resonances in the low frequency range but a lot of
resonances at higher frequencies. FRAX allows the user to
specify less measurement points at lower frequencies and
high measurement point density at higher frequencies.
The result is a much faster sweep with greater detail
where it is needed.
Variable Voltage
The applied test voltage may affect the response at lower
frequencies. Some FRA instruments do not use the 10 V
peak-to-peak used by major manufacturers and this may
complicate comparisons between tests. FRAX standard
voltage is 10 V peak-to-peak but FRAX also allows the
user to adjust the applied voltage to match the voltage
used in a different test.
FTB 101
Several international FRA guides recommends to verify the
integrity of cables and instrument before and after a test
using a test circuit with a known FRA response supplied
by the equipment manufacturer. FRAX comes with a field

user to perform this important validation in the

software makes testing both easier and faster, allowing
transformer moisture assessment in less than 18 minutes.
IDAX 300 measures the capacitance and tan delta/power
factor of the insulation between power transformer
windings at multiple frequencies. Plotting the results as a
curve makes it possible to assess the condition of the oil
and solid insulation, assess the moisture level in the solid
insulation and other potential insulation problems. The test
can be performed at any temperature.
APPLICATION
With an aging power transformer population, today’s
electrical utility industry faces a tough challenge as
transformer failures and consequent repair and revenue
loss costs millions of dollars. Transformers have become
one of the most mission critical components in the
electrical grid. The need for reliable monitoring and
diagnostic methods drives the world’s leading experts to
evaluate new technologies that improve reliability and
optimize the use of every grid component [1].
IDAX 300
Insulation Diagnostic Analyzer
■ Fast and accurate moisture assessment in
power transformers
■ Well proven technology; IDA/IDAX units
have been in field use for more than 10
years
■ Reliable results at any temperature
■ Automated analysis of moisture content
and oil conductivity — decisions at your
finger tip
■ True frequency domain measurement for
highest noise immunity
■ Performs non-intrusive insulation testing
of transformers, bushings, cables and
generators
IDAX is a revolutionary insulation diagnostic instrument
based on DFR (Dielectric Frequency Response), also
known as FDS (Frequency Domain Spectroscopy). This
analysis technique has been used in laboratories for
decades and IDA/IDAX was the first instrument designed
for field use (1997). The IDA/IDAX instrument and
measurement principle has been used and verified around
the world over the last ten years.
One of the most important applications for IDAX is to
determine the moisture content in transformer insulation.
Moisture in the insulation significantly accelerates the
aging process. Moisture can cause bubbles between
windings, resulting in catastrophic failures. IDAX provides
reliable moisture assessments in one test. The test can be
made at any temperature and takes less than 18 minutes.
Decisions on maintenance and/or replacement should be
based on knowing the condition of the insulation and the
expected loading of the unit. Adding just a few operational
years to the expected end-of-life for a transformer,
generator or cable by optimizing the working condition
based on reliable diagnostic data means substantial cost
savings for the equipment owner.
The FDS technology can also be used to assess the
condition and aging of the insulation in bushings, CTs and
circuit breakers. Numerous ongoing research projects at
institutes and universities around the world is adding
experience and value to users of IDAX.

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

Figure 4: Before matching — green-model, red-measurement Figure 5: After matching — result: 0.4% at 20oC

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.

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.

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.

OTS60PB, 60AF/2, 80AF/2, 100AF/2, VCM100
Automatic Oil Test Sets
DESCRIPTION
The Megger range of automatic oil testers offer fully
automatic testing with many advanced features. The design
allows the operator to simply prepare an oil test vessel,
load it with the sample oil, place it in the chamber and
initiate the test sequence. The test set then carries out, the
series of tests as specified in a large number of oil testing
specifications. These define the sequence of tests including
the stand and stir times, rate of voltage rise and number of
tests resulting in a calculation of the average value of the
oil breakdown strength. Withstand or proof testing can
also be selected. This test subjects the oil to a preselected
voltage for 1 minute to check for a breakdown.
The OTS60PB is a fully automatic, battery powered,
portable oil test set. The test voltage is electronically
controlled to the maximum of 60 kV. Designed for on site
testing, the instrument is supplied in a rugged carrying
case with a handle for ease of transportation. An internal
rechargeable battery gives a large number of tests before
recharging. A clear display shows a menu of test options
and guides the operator through the set up programme,
illustrates the correct test electrodes and gap to use, shows
the progress of each test and gives the results of the test
sequence. The result can be set to give either a numerical
average (with standard deviation where specified) or a
pass/fail message. The display can be set to read in
English, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese.
An optional printer kit enables hard copies of results to be
produced. Accessories, such as the battery charger, spare
vessels, spare electrodes and a spacing gauge are located

in an attached compartment. Stirring is carried out by a
motor driven paddle stirrer.
The OTSAF/2 range are laboratory instruments with many
advanced features. Three versions are available with
maximum test voltages of 60 kV, 80 kV and 100 kV. They
offer fully automatic operation plus the benefit of a built
in printer to produce a hard copy of the test results and
the ability to program up to five user defined tests for
individual applications. The withstand test can be set to
operate at any test voltage and with an initial stand time.
The dot matrix liquid crystal display can also be set to
read in one of six languages. An oil test vessel, configured
to suit the IEC156 test specification, is supplied with the
instrument.
A large, backlit, liquid crystal display shows test menus,
set up screens and results. The resolution of the high
voltage output is displayed to 0,1 kV.
Results can be printed on the internal dot matrix printer or
transferred via the RS232 interface to an external printer or
PC. Printouts are automatically time and date stamped.
Standard stirring with the OTSAF/2 is achieved by a
magnetic stirrer bar. Additional vessels are available
optionally, including one suitable for testing to the ASTM
D1816 specification. This calls for stirring to be carried out
by a motor driven impeller. Each test can be selected with
either magnetic stirring, propeller stirring or no stirring.
The VCM100 is a calibration meter suitable for verifying
the calibration of oil test sets. The meter will enable the

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.
5) RECORDER
This option enables to record the physical dimensions characterizing the degasifying process, like temperature and vacuum.
6) QUALITY CONTROL OF OILS
Different type of laboratory or portable equipment enable you to measure the main dielectric oil characteristics.

Presentations 1) LOW SPEED TRAILER

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.

HYDROCAL 1002
Transformer Online Monitoring System
Analysis of the gases dissolved in power transformer
oil is recognized as the most useful tool for early
detection and diagnosis of incipient faults in trans-
formers.
Besides regular gas chromatographic analysis of the
isolation oil of power transformers online monitoring
and control systems gain more and more importance
worldwide. By online monitoring of the key fault
gases an additional potential of cost reductions and
safety improvements can be achieved.
The HYDROCAL 1002 is a preventive maintenance
device that is permanently mounted on the trans-
former. It measures continuously the most important
fault gases in a power transformer, hydrogen (H2)
and carbon monoxide (CO). Additionally it serves for
recording the fault gas contents, allows alarm levels
to be set for each fault gas and offers output inter-
faces (4-20mA) individually for H2 and CO content.
Key Advantages

Individual analysis of the dissolved gas con-
tents hydrogen (H2) and carbon monoxide (CO)

Simple, lightweight and easy-to-mount solution
without any oil extraction from the transformer

Installation on the operational transformer with-
out any supply interruption

Sophisticated software showing gas contents
as a bar graph, trend analysis, alarm setting di-
rectly on the transformer and via remote commu-
nication on a central PC system

Easy installation on the transformer tank or
any valve on the transformer (connection to DIN
ISO 228: G 1½)

Analysis of the gases dissolved in power transformer oil is Key Advantages

recognized as the most useful tool for early detection and
diagnosis of incipient faults in transformers.
In addition water contamination deteriorates the perform-
ance of the oil as a high moisture content increases the
risk of corrosion and overheating. This is in particular
when the water content reaches the saturation point of the
oil and free water is formed.
Besides regular gas chromatographic analysis and off-line
moisture analysis of the isolation oil of power transformers
online monitoring systems gain more and more impor-
tance worldwide.
By online monitoring of the key fault gases hydrogen (H2)
and carbon monoxide (CO) and moisture an additional
potential of cost reductions and safety improvements can
be achieved.
