Page 5: Introduction
Always make sure the circuit is fully discharged before attaching any test cables. • Do not touch, adjust, or reposition test cables while the DTR ® conducting a test. • Use caution on any apparatus: potentially high voltages and currents may be present and pose a shock hazard. • Safety is the responsibility of the user. • Only use the charging unit supplied with the instrument to recharge the battery. • Never open the instrument while it is connected to AC power or when test cables are connected to transformers, equipment, circuits, etc. Digital Transformer Ratiometer DTR Model 8510 ® ShopAEMC www. .com 1.877.766.5412 Shop for AEMC products online at:... -

• The Nameplate list of up to 10 transformers can be written to and saved only using DataView software. The values in the list can ® be edited for use but cannot be saved from the front panel. • The keys on the front panel can select any one of the 10 transformer Nameplate values. Once the transformer values are selected, they can be edited to a new value using the ▼, ▲ and ENTER keys. When the new values are selected (even if they are not edited to new values), it becomes the Present Nameplate and will be used for all subsequent VT/PT and CT measurements. Deviation will be reported and stored using these values. • The Present Nameplate values will be retained in memory even if the instrument is turned OFF and turned ON. However, it will not be saved in the list from which it was originally selected. • The user can select another Nameplate from the list in the future and may or may not edit the values. As soon as the new Nameplate values are selected (and/or edited), it becomes the new Present Nameplate.

To store the active measurement using Manual mode, press the MEM (ENTER) button.

Primary (H) winding due to test excitation. The loading on the Secondary (X) winding due to the DTR 8510 is negligible. ® • The DTR 8510 uses a maximum of 32Vrms excitation voltage ® for testing. The displayed excitation current will almost always be a small fraction of transformer no-load excitation at full (rated) voltage. Most transformers will require less than 100mA. • If you are presently using a ratiometer that employs secondary (X) side excitation (e.g. common hand-cranked instruments) in step-up mode, the current may be much higher than what the 8510 displays. ® • This is normal and results directly from the fact that in most step-down transformers, the Primary (H) side has a much higher impedance than its associated Secondary (X) winding.

During the Ratio test, the instrument will check for H/X reverse polarity, short (excessive current) etc. before conducting Ratio test. NOTE: • If the H/X is reversed, the instrument will display the error message (see Fig. 5-5) as in VT/PT test and terminate the test. • If there were a polarity reversal, the Ratio would be blinking with a negative sign. This means either the connections are reversed on a given side or the transformer is wound backwards relative to the marking. • The test can be cancelled at any time by pressing the TEST button during the operation. • The CT test ramps up the voltage in steps. At the end of the test, it ramps down the voltage. • There are certain low mass, low ratio CT’s for which the DTR ® 8510 may not be able to provide correct ratio. The error message will be “High Excitation Current”. Digital Transformer Ratiometer DTR Model 8510 ® ShopAEMC www. .com 1.877.766.5412 Shop for AEMC products online at:...

X cables are connected to the secondary side of the transformer before the test begins. • Always verify the integrity of the cable connections and reposition the clips as necessary for robust and low-resistance connections. Inspect the transformer terminals for dielectric coatings, fungus, dirt or corrosion. • Running a continuity test before the ratio test will provide a useful way to check windings and connections. • When testing polyphase transformers, keep in mind that in some cases, the measured ratios must be multiplied or divided by √3. Refer to § 6 for polyphase connection diagrams and associated ratio equations. Digital Transformer Ratiometer DTR Model 8510 ® ShopAEMC www. .com 1.877.766.5412 Shop for AEMC products online at:... -

If the safety timer disconnects before -dV, the top-off charge will not be engaged. The charger will then go directly to trickle charge mode and the LED will turn green. If the battery voltage is far below normal, the charger will stop the fast charge current and switch to trickle charge mode. The LED will then indicate an "error" by flickering green and red. The battery packs and/or the charger may need to be replaced. If the line power is turned off, the charger will reset and start a new charge cycle when it is turned on again.
