‘TRANSFORMER TEST EQUIPMENT BIDDLE’ TTR’ Three-Phase Model + Microprocessor controlled, automatic balancing + Reduces testing time by 50% += Expanded ratio range of 2700:1 + Printer option + Eliminates the need for manual setup changes Transformer Turns Ratio Test Sets DESCRIPTION Biddle* TTR? Transformer Turns Ratio Test Sets measure the turns ratio and exciting current of windings In power, potential and current transformers. Deviations in turns ratio readings indicate problems in one or both ‘windings or the magnetic core cireult, ‘The TTR test sets aid in identifying: * Shorted coils *+ Open circuits * Incorrect connections + Internal faults of tap-changer defects in step regulators as well as in transformers, Thethreephasemodelisafily automatic, microprocessor-based system with an expanded ratio range of 27001 to cover ‘most current and potential transformers with unmatched accuracy of 4.1%, ‘The automatic operation reduces test function time to under 10 seconds, pro- viding dramatic cost savings to the user. Additional time saving is gained from the simple switch settings which eliminate the need for manual setup changes, An optional printer is available for recording testing results, The model is available in either hand- cranked or line-operated versions and measures highly sensitive turns ratios of up to 129.99:1 with accuracy of 0.1%, An optional auxilary trans- former extends the ratio range to 329.991 ‘The TTRset operates on the principle that the voltage ratio of the transformer at no load is practically equal to the true turns ratio. ‘Themalor source oferrorina transformer is a primary impedance drop due to ‘magnetizing current, which Is kept to a ‘minimum by excitation ata 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 ofa transformer can be determined accurately. When measuring the tums ratio of distribution and power transformers, the accuracy is well within 0.1%. APPLICATIONS. * Threephase model: Fully automatic units are used for testing single- and three-phase transformers and voltage regulators, for high-ratio readings ranging from 0.8:1 to 2700:1 ‘An RS-232C interface is provided This singlephase TTR test set is oper: ated by turning a crank, for data transfer of for use with the optional lid-mounted printer. * Single-phase models: These models are primarily used for testing single-phase power and distribution transformers, for low-ratio readings up to 123.99:1, or up to 329.98:1 with an auniliary transformer ‘They also can be used to test three- phase transformers by connecting and testing each phase separately. FEATURES AND BENEFITS ‘Three-Phase Model * Microprocessor-based control provides fully automatic operation, Test function takes less than 10 seconds. * Digital readout displays ratio, exciting current and self-diagnostic messages for simplicity of operation, + Expanded ratio range of 2700:1 covers most current and potential twansformers. * The simple switch settings for all ‘combinations of transformer connections tliminate the need for manual setup changes. + 40 volt output voltage selection allows testing current transformers. + Error messages reduce Incorrect connections and incorrect settings. + R5.232C interface allows download to an optional lid-mounted printer, "AVO INTERNATIONAL‘SPECIFICATIONS Range Dimensions oat | Power [Tam] exeiing | Accuracy weit | SAT Ratio | Current Hewxo a WHxioswx14s0m, | 18 Single-phase | Hancherancod ororn 280% 260x370 mm | (2k) | 980008 fol sole ~ | a001 THe t5Wx29D in 2516 Line 120998 | gaue | sone |_280Hxs80wa737 Omm | crea) | 850027 Sinalephase | Linge THX 105 Wx 9D, 2b coon rackmounioa | _ Une 2554x257 Wx483.D mm | (10k) Three phase | {ag Joao 16] 070 TZSAxWx200 in 36 aa fulomatie. 2700" | 1989 mA seo xs00wxsi00mm | (8.59) + 120,Vac, 6180 Hz.
