TWA40D Three-Phase Winding Ohmmeter by DV POWER

Fully automated Three-Phase Winding Ohmmeter and Tap Changer Analyser for six winding measurement. Includes a built-in tap changer control unit and the one-time cable set-up is interchangeable with the TRT Series of Turns Ratio Testers. Enables simultaneous three-phase dynamic resistance measurements (DRM). Also facilitates a quick YN test which is a unique proprietary test method developed by DV Power to measure the three-winding resistances on a tap changer at the same time. This allows resistances to be measured in all tap positions in all three phases with a single pass through the tap positions.

Description

Three-Phase Winding Ohmmeter and Tap Changer Analyser for six winding measurement. Includes a built-in tap changer control unit and a one-time cable set-up is interchangeable with the TRT Series of Tap Changer Testers.

The TWA40D instrument is designed for six-winding resistance measurement and simultaneous three phase on-load tap changer analysis of both the primary and the secondary transformer windings. This is performed with a one single-step cable setup, with test currents of up to 40A. Each transformer configuration has a special measurement algorithm which is optimized for the fast stabilization of test results. The TWA40D generates a true DC ripple-free current. Both the injection of the current and the discharge of energy from the magnetic circuit are automatically regulated.

 

Key features of the TWA25A are:

  • Six-winding measurement of transformer winding resistances with a one-time cable connection
  • Quick YN mode, which enables measuring the resistances of three transformer windings in the YN configuration simultaneously
  • Dynamic resistance measurement (DVtest) of on-load tap changers, which can be performed simultaneously on all three phases, or on a single phase
  • An evaluation of synchronization between on-load tap changer phases
  • A measurement of on-load tap changer motor current by using a dedicated channel
  • Three-phase or single-phase automatic transformer demagnetisation

  • Mains power cable
Recommended accessories

  • H winding test cable set, 4 x 10 m with TTA clamps
  • X winding test cable set, 4 x 10 m with TTA clamps
  • Current clamp 30 / 300 A power supplied from the instrument with 5 m extension
  • Cable plastic case
  • Transport case

 

The DV-Win software enables control and observation of the test process, as well as saving and analysing the results on a PC. It provides a test report, arranged in a selectable form as an Excel spreadsheet, PDF, Word, or ASCII format. The software provides an OLTC (tap changer) condition assessment through analysis of the graphs representing dynamic resistance values during the tap changer transitions. Additionally, the DV-Win measures and calculates the OLTC transition time, the ripple and the winding resistance for each tap changing operation. The standard interface is USB and RS232 is optional. Additional testing mode, Quick YN, is enabled by the DV-Win software. In this mode, it is possible to measure the resistances of three transformer windings in the YN configuration simultaneously. It is also possible to test the resistances of all tap changer positions of all three phases in a single pass through the tap changer positions.
