300 Series
Three-Phase Transformer Turns Ratio Test Sets
APPLICATIONS
The TTR300 Series applies voltage 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 units measure excitation current, phase
angle deviation between the high- and low-voltage
windings and percent ratio error.
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. Complexity in the measured ratio versus
nameplate ratio occurs with most three-phase power
transformers because multipliers such as √3 are required
to match the measured ratio to the nameplate ratio. The
TTR300 Series automatically applies the multiplier in a
form which allows the operator a direct comparison to
the nameplate (or expected) ratio. The built-in calculator
displays the % error versus nameplate for each tap and
each winding, without the need for a computer.
Exciting Current
The TTR provides accurate measurement of exciting current
(to 0.1 mA) which can help provide information about the
condition of a transformer’s core. Unwanted circulating
currents or unintentional core grounds can increase the
exciting current and indicate a problem.
Phase Angle Deviation and its Application
The phase angle deviation, displayed in either degrees
(minutes) or radians, is the phase relationship between the
voltage signal applied to the high-voltage winding and the
voltage signal extracted from the low-voltage winding. The
phase deviation, together with ratio error, can be used as a
low-cost method of verifying accuracy class of all types of
PTs and CTs at “zero burden.”
The phase deviation between the high and low side of a
transformer is generally very small. If there is deterioration
or damage in the transformer core, however, the phase
deviation can change significantly. The three-phase TTR
can measure this phase relationship with the resolution
of 0.1 minutes (equal to 1/600 of a degree), which is
necessary to detect problems.
