Page 27: Tertiary Winding System
8.1.6 Tertiary Winding System A really unusual transformer may have a primary, a secondary and a tertiary winding, and several taps on each winding. That’s not a problem when you are using a TR-Mark III 250V. A few buttons will give you control and overview over the complete measurement of such a transformer. - Page 28 And now let us have a look how tap changer control works in this case. Touch on tap changer display as described in chapter ‘7.1.5 More Taps’, and you will find yourself in front of the same screen. The main difference is only the moment you switch to tertiary winding system. Of course you can also assign tertiary tap changer to be free.

Page 50: Current Transformer Testing
A.A Current Transformer Testing A.A.A Introduction Current transformers are, in effect, opposite wound voltage transformers. This basically means that the largest number of windings are on the “X” (low current) side of the current transformer. The TR-Mark III 250V applies a voltage (from 1 to 250 VAC) from the “H” leads and measures back through the “X”... -
Page 51: Low Impedance
2: Select CT Testing, use 10 (normal), 3: Touch Go A 40V (high ratio) or 1V (low impedance) A.A.C Low Impedance In certain cases, where the impedance (inductance) of the CT is so low that TR-Mark III 250V gets to its power limits, an “Overcurrent” Message will be displayed on the screen. It is then recommended to run the test with a lower test voltage. -
