Introduction:
The TR 300 is a true three-phase transformer turns ratio test instrument designed to test any type of transformer. It performs turns ratio tests per the IEEE C57.12.90 measurement standard. The TR 300 generates its own three-phase excitation test voltage which is applied to the three phases of the transformer’s primary windings. The three-phase secondary voltages are measured to calculate the turns ratio. The TR 300’s measuring range is 0.8-50,000 : 1. In addition to measuring turns ratio, the TR 300 can also measure excitation current and phase angle difference between the primary and secondary voltages. The test results can be displayed on the unit’s built in color display.
Higher Test Voltages for increased accuracy
The TR 300 offers selectable test voltages of 4V, 40V, and 100V. Optionally, a 250V test voltage is available for testing in electrically noisy environments. The higher test voltages increase the measurement accuracy, especially at high turns ratios. The TR 300 generates its own three phase test voltages so that the turns ratio, excitation current, and phase angle can be measured. In addition, the test frequency of the voltage is 55 Hz so power frequency interferences of the substation do not affect the turns ratio measurement. Higher test voltages, coupled with off frequency measurement, make the TR 300 an ideal instrument for high accuracy testing.
To prevent an accidental wrong test lead hookup, such as when the operator reverses H and X leads, the TR 300 outputs a lowlevel test voltage to verify the hookup condition before applying the full test voltage to the transformer. Higher test voltages allow the TR 300 to test CT’s and PT’s, as well as power transformers.
User Interface
The unit’s back-lit color LCD touchscreen (800 x 480 pixels) is viewable in bright sunlight and low-light and provides an intuitive menu structure where running a test is just few taps away. The full-sized industrial keyboard makes data entry quite easy for information such as nameplate and setting information.
Built-in Thermal Printer
The TR300 features a built-in 3.0” thermal printer for quick printout of results in the field.
Data Storage and Analysis
The TR300 can store up to 128 test results internally. Test results can be transferred to a PC via the unit’s USB Flash drive interface (Flash drive not included) or directly via the USB 2.0 PC interface. The provided PC software can be used for analysis and report generation.
