Need it Sooner? Lead Time: 3 weeks

SKU: TTRU3-BASIC Categories: , ,

Three-phase simultaneous TTR testing up to 250 V induced with high-bright display and built-in OLTC control for quick and confident transformer assessment.

  • Confidence in transformer assessment: With a three-phase source, and up to 250 V induced, and the ability to test all taps of an on-load tap changer, you can trust the decisions you make for these critical assets
  • Improved productivity: A three-phase source and on-load tap changer control not only improve your confidence in assessment, but also reduce the test time required, allowing you and your team to focus on other value-added activities
  • Memorable software: Whether you are new or it’s been a few weeks since you last used the TTRU3, the user interface is designed to reduce the training and stress associated with getting your job done
  • Enhanced safety: With color coded leads, clamps, and connectors, a single connection is all that is required. Once back on the ground, you can safely verify that all leads are properly connected and start testing
  • Versatile results management: The TTRU3 provides test reports in excel and PDF. Additionally, the entire database can be exported for use in any data management system you may be using

Megger’s TTRU3 transformer turns ratio tester is designed to perform three-phase turns ratio measurements using step-up excitation (patented). A single three-phase lead-set connection is all that is required to complete three-phase tests in less than 10 seconds!

The TTRU3 can induce up to 250 V on the primary winding, overcoming the voltage dependence seen on larger transformers. The three-phase source also allows you to test phase shifting and zigzag transformers and provides you with a guaranteed accuracy of ±0.05 % from -20 °C to +50 °C.

What’s more, the TTRU3 can be connected to a computer, enabling you to download results or control the instrument remotely. There is also an optional 2-inch printer for the instrument, enabling you to have a hard copy of your results if required.

Configure test plans and store results directly on the TTRU3 using the built-in 7-inch (18 cm) daylight-viewable touch screen display. To generate reports, results can be downloaded in Excel, and PDF files can be saved to a USB drive.

Last but not least, it’s also the smallest and lightest three-phase test set on the market!

FAQ/Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Three-phase power transformers are often tested on a per-phase basis with a single-phase source, using relays to switch the power from one phase to another as necessary. Three-phase transformers are produced with a wide range of winding configurations and, in general, are more difficult to test accurately if the low voltage (LV) winding is delta configured. This is because TTR testing assumes that the secondary winding is an open circuit and has no load connected. With a delta-connected LV winding and measurements performed on a per-phase basis, this assumption does not hold, as the winding under test is loaded by its connection with the other two windings in the delta loop. The current circulating in the delta loop leads to internal losses affecting the accuracy of the TTR measurement. In these cases, it is recommended either to energize the HV winding line-to-line or to use three-phase excitation. Flux distribution will be more uniform, leading to a higher coupling between windings, so the results are less sensitive to excitation voltage. Excitation losses during the test are shared by all three sources, providing higher accuracy results as compared to those obtained with single-phase excitation. Simultaneous three-phase excitation reduces testing time and improves the efficiency of resources.
A transformer turns ratio test checks that a transformer is converting energy in an expected way. The test is also known simply as a turns ratio test. A TTR test is performed by a ratio meter (ratio tester). This test validates the transformer design, the transformer nameplate, and the transformer’s fixed transforming abilities throughout its service life. A TTR test should be performed to confirm that the transformer’s de-energized tap changer is properly positioned and that shorted windings turns do not exist. The ratio meter provides convenient and accurate readings of power transformer ratios and polarities. A transformer turns ratio test works in accordance with the same fundamental electromagnetic phenomena that the transformer operates. The difference is that the TTR test typically uses a low voltage (LV) AC excitation signal (< 250 V AC) on a per-phase base or as a three-phase simultaneous excitation.
During a TTR test, one actually measures the TVR. Afterward, for three-phase transformers, a correction factor that depends on the vector configuration of the windings may need to be applied. It is impossible to measure TTR from accessible points on a transformer. An assumption is made in TTR testing that, because of no-load conditions, the voltage ratio of a transformer (TVR) is equal to the turns ratio (TTR). This, of course, ignores the reality that a true no-load condition cannot be achieved for all winding configurations. Another assumption in TTR testing is that all the flux produced by one winding links with the second winding, ignoring leakage flux. These assumptions, for some transformers, result in ‘false positives’ when looking for problems in a conventional TTR analysis. Finally, TNR is the ratio provided on a transformer’s nameplate, or one that can be calculated from the line-to-line winding voltages provided on the nameplate.
