Megger TTR100 Transformer Turns Ratio Tester Handheld TTR

Sell used Megger TTR100 Transformer Turns Ratio Tester Single Phase Handheld TTR. In good working and cosmetic condition. Tested and works. Clean unit.

The Megger TTR100-1 is an automatic 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 TTR100-1 allows the user to operate the test set while holding it in one hand. Realizing
the extreme environments in which the TTR100-1 must operate, special attention has been paid to making it extra rugged, with a high impact, shock resistant case, yet incredibly lightweight at 3.3 lb. (1.5 kg). 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 TTR100-1 is particularly suited for testing in substations and transformer-manufacturing environments where testing single and three-phase transformers can be performed. The TTR100-1 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.

The TTR100-1 and its lead set utilizes a METAL connection on both the instrument end and lead. This enhanced feature makes the instrument much more robust, improving reliability even under the harshest conditions.

This unit measures the highest turns ratio in the industry with an accuracy of 0.2% or better and with the lowest excitation voltage. 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 TTR100-1 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 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 TTR100-1 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.

Megger TTR100 Specifications

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 TTR100-1 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 tatio 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 TTR100-1 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 TTR100-1 is required.

Excitation Current
The TTR100-1 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 TTR100-1 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 IEC 600076.1 (2000).

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.

The Megger TTR100-1 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 TTR100-1 will identify subtractive and additive polarity of the single-phase distribution transformers.

Polarity is also critical for CTs and PTs where incorrect polarity can cause serious problems.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• 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 (±0.2%, 0.8 to 4000) 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 and phase errors for bushing CTs to an accuracy of ±0.2% nameplate. This reduces the need for heavy 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 PTs and CTs.

• Perfect for meter shops, the TTR100-1 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 TTR100-1 is ideal for use by transformer manufacturers. Its unique testing procedures and storagecapability 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, PTs and CTs. In addition, polarity is provided for PTs, 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.

• Rugged, lightweight design ideally suited for a harsh field and substation environment.
