The TR 100 is a microprocessor-based single phase automatic transformer turns ratio test instrument. This field portable lightweight unit is housed in a field rugged case. The TR 100 is designed to test the turns ratio of transformers of any size per the IEEE C57.12.90 standard.
The TR 100 offers a wide turns ratio measurement range from 0.8 to 30,000 to 1, with selectable test voltages of 4, 40 and 100 V, making it an ideal instrument for quick and easy testing of single or three-phase transformers. The selectable test voltages enable the instrument to measure turns ratios with high accuracy in an electrically noisy environment.
The TR 100 measures turns ratios per the IEEE C57.12.90 standard testing method. It is suitable for testing power transformers, current transformers (CT’s), potential transformers (PT’s), and voltage regulators. It can measures turns ratio, phase angle, excitation current and polarity.
Test results are displayed on a color back-lit LCD screen (800 x 480 pixels) that is viewable in bright sunlight and low-light conditions. A full-sized, 44 key QWERTY-style keypad greatly simplifies the entry of the name plate details of the transformer under test. Once a test is complete, the TR 100 calculates the percentage error along with other test results.
The TR 100 makes testing three phase transformers simple by providing clear instructions and test connection information on the color LCD screen
The TR 100 can store 150 test records of 33 readings internally, which can be transferred to an external USB Flash drive. Test records can be accessed or transferred to the pc via the USB PC interface and the provided software. Using the included software, test results can be exported in PDF and Excel formats.
TR 100 can be ordered with the optional rechargeable battery backup for exceptional portability. The battery backup provides up to 4 hours of test time.
The TR 100 also has an optional “Extended Precision” mode for testing transformers in an electrically noisy substation environment. In this mode, a special circuit in the TR 100 eliminates the power frequency noise signals and makes a very accurate measurement of the turns ratio.
TR 100 is furnished with all required cables in a cable bag. The included cables consist of one set of 16′ (5 m) H and X cables, one power cord and one USB PC cable. An optional shipping case is available for easy transportation.
