Mode Submenu itself or popup menus that appear in the Display Area. Mode Menu—used to select the main mode of operation. Test and function modes are described below. The Mode Menu does not change, and is always available. Baker DX Series Static Motor Analyzer www.megger.com...
The control icons for each mode appear in the submenu just above the Mode Menu. The Mode Submenu icons correspond to the Mode Menu item selected. In the following example, we see the descriptions of the Mode Submenu icons that appear when the RLC Tests icon is touched. Figure 5. Mode submenu icons example. www.megger.com...
Figure 6. Popup menu appearing when the RLC test selection icon is touched. The details of this popup menu are provided in the example below. Figure 7. Popup menu icon descriptions for test type selection. Baker DX Series Static Motor Analyzer www.megger.com...

1. To view existing data, touch the Report icon in the mode menu. 2. When you touch a folder in the Folder list, such as the MEGGER folder in the following example, the folder will be highlighted and all associated records that are in that folder will appear in the Record list.
DA/PI testing, or frequency shift in one or more waveform values during surge testing. An erratic PP EAR will often result and the shift could even trip the EAR limits. Baker DX Series Static Motor Analyzer www.megger.com...
Inductance measurements can also be compared to previous measure- ments or values specified by the original equipment manufacturers. Inductance testing also provides impedance values and angles. DX capacitance tests measure only capacitance and D/Q. No impedance values or phase angle val- ues are included. www.megger.com...

2. Touch the Frequency icon then touch the frequency value in the popup menu. 3. Push and release the Start (PTT) button to run the inductance test. The inductance test will be run for all three phases automatically. The “Leads Energized” message will again appear at the top of the display. www.megger.com...

The demonstrated DC tests were chained together in a recommended best practice approach, but you may separate and perform them individually or in other combinations as required or preferred. Figure 21. DC Tests results screen from Reports. Baker DX Series Static Motor Analyzer www.megger.com...
4. As noted earlier, the operating voltage is the basis for the test voltage used during Surge testing. For this example, we continue to use the 480-volt motor with a maximum testing voltage of 2000 volts. 5. Press and hold the Start (PTT) button. The following popup menu appears. www.megger.com...
