INTRODUCTION About the TTR25 ® The TTR25 Handheld TTR Test Set is a fully automatic, self-checking, self- calibrating unit. The test set measures the turn ratio, excitation current, and phase displacement (polarity) of single- and three-phase (phase by phase) distribution transformers, as well as power, potential and current transformers.
Electrical Theory and Practice How the TTR25 Works The TTR25 test set provides the excitation voltage to the input of the transformer. It accurately measures both the H-side and X-side voltages to calculate turns ratio. The TTR also measures phase displacement (polarity) between primary and secondary windings of a transformer, and transformer excitation current.
Page 11
The Megger TTR25 will identify normal (in phase) and reverse polarity of the single-phase transformers. A block diagram of TTR25 is shown in Figure 1-1. The excitation voltage oscillator applies a 55-Hz test voltage to a transformer under test. There are three test voltages: 0.5 V, 1.5 V, and 8 V used for transformer testing.
It is used to determine the no-load accuracy of CTs and PTs and also determine the need to further test faulty CTs and PTs. The TTR25 applies voltage to the high-voltage winding of a transformer and accurately measures the resulting voltage from the low voltage winding. The ratio of voltages is directly proportional to turns ratio.
Notify Megger of any shortage. Telephone 610-676-8500. Examine the instrument for damage received in transit. If any damage is discovered, file a claim with the carrier at once and notify Megger or its nearest authorized sales representative, giving a detailed description of the damage.
Safety Requirements Megger has made formal safety reviews of the initial design and any subsequent changes. This procedure is followed for all new products and covers areas in addition to those included in applicable standards. Regardless of these efforts, it is not possible to eliminate all hazards from electrical test equipment.
Megger considers this an excellent safety practice. Users of equipment should note that high-voltage discharges and other sources of strong electric or magnetic field may interfere with the proper functioning of heart pacemakers.
CONTROLS & CONNECTORS Overview The TTR25 is a simple, push-to-test instrument with few buttons and controls. It has no menus except for a print button and language selection. Contrast This knob adjusts the viewing resolution of the screen. Backlight A momentary depression of the switch will either activate or de-activate the backlight.
Connectors PRINTER TEST CABLE Figure 3-2 TTR25 Top Side Connector Panel TEST CABLE Plug receptacle for connecting test leads to the high-voltage (H) and low-voltage (X) windings of a transformer. The plug and receptacle are keyed to prevent the cable from being inserted incorrectly, and to make certain that the correct cable is used.
Check that a lead set connected is labeled for TTR25 test set operation. The TTR25 has been designed to test a variety of transformers, such as: Single phase, Three phase (one phase at a time), CTs, PTs and Voltage Regulators.
The TTR25 may supply up to 100 mA of excitation current. The TTR25 will automatically select the appropriate test voltage (8 V, 1.5 V, or 0.5 V) when testing transformers. Single-Phase, Two-Winding Transformers Perform the following setup procedure for single-phase, two-winding transformers: 1.

Three-Phase, Two-Winding Transformers Perform the following setup procedure for three-phase, two-winding transformers: 1. Connect the test cables to the test set. 2. Connect the clips marked H1 and H2 of the test lead to the phase being tested (high-voltage winding) terminals of the transformer under test. 3.
V) when testing CTs. Some current transformers with turn ratio of 50:5 and less may require more than 100 mA of excitation current when excited from 0.5 V source. These CTs can not be tested with the TTR25. Expect that polarity of the windings is normal (“+” sign is displayed in front of the turns ratio test result).
A turn-ratio test can be performed on a BCT after it has been mounted on a circuit breaker or power transformer entrance bushing. The test can be performed without removal of the BCT from the equipment. Connect the TTR25 to BCT as shown in Figure 4-10.
Data shown on the menus and test screens in Figures 4-11 through 4-14 are for illustrative purposes only. The TTR25 test set menus and test screens are operated by using the keypad. On power up, the test set performs a self-test check, and all hardware and software variables are initialized.
If battery level is below 5%, the message “REPLACE BATTERY! UNIT WILL TURN OFF” appears on the screen. In 10 sec. the TTR25 shuts down. Replace the batteries (six AA-size replaceable alkaline batteries) before further attempting to initiate the TTR25 operation.
If during testing an abnormal condition is detected, one of the error messages listed in the ERROR MESSAGES section is displayed on the screen. In case of emergency, press the red button on keypad. It will turn TTR25 OFF. After emergency situation is gone, turn power ON (green button) to start TTR25 operation.
If you are using the optional printer, plug the printer cable supplied into the RS232/PRINTER receptacle on the TTR25 test set and turn it on. A separate manual is supplied with the printer. Refer to it for specific information about how to connect, operate, and care for the printer.
Configuration To print a paper copy of the existing printer settings: While holding down the "On-Line" switch, turn on the printer. The following list will print (factory default settings shown). Figure 4-16 Printer Configuration Printout AVTMTTR25 Rev C April 2008...
Setup, Connections & Operation If you want to leave the settings as they are, press the "FEED" switch. If you need to change a setting, press the "ON LINE" switch to enter the reconfiguration mode. For each group of switches, press the "FEED" switch if all the settings are okay.
As a result of such calibration procedure, each TTR25 may be NIST certified. To check the TTR25 calibration at a customer site or in the field, the Megger Calibration Standard Cat.No550055 or equivalent standard should be used. To perform a quick simplified calibration check, the Megger Calibration Standard CatNo550555 may be used.
Additionally, the displayed test results were interpreted as a test set calibration check. TTR25 test set is designed and optimized for the transformer turns ratio testing. It uses a mixed analog-digital technique to provide the accurate readings of the tested transformer turns ratio.
5. Replace the battery compartment door and secure it with screws. 6. Turn on TTR25. It should display the opening screen, then the battery level screen. The battery level displayed depends on many factors including type of battery installed, battery manufacturing date, battery storing conditions, etc.
Troubleshooting The Troubleshooting Guide, Table 5-1, is arranged to help you evaluate the reasons for TTR25 test set malfunction. The table lists possible TTR25 test set malfunctions which may be encountered during operation and lists possible causes. Electronic circuit repairs should not be attempted in the field. Refer to Repair section.
Maintenance and Troubleshooting Error Messages All TTR25 error messages are divided by 3 categories: self-test error messages, test error messages, and miscellaneous error messages. The self-test error messages may appear on the opening screen during power-up self-test procedure. The Table 5-2 below shows the messages.

C-4 shows winding diagrams for power transformers marked in accordance with the Australian standard. To make a measurement on a three-phase power transformer with TTR25 test set, match the vector diagram from the transformer nameplate to the corresponding winding connection diagram from Table C-2 through C-4. Then connect the TTR25 test leads to the appropriate transformer winding terminals of phase A.
Page 50
To make a measurement on a T-type transformer, the jumpers indicated in Table C-1 should be applied to the appropriate terminals of the T-type transformer. The TTR25 measured turns ratio should be compared to the calculated turns ratio indicated in Table C-1.
