Getting to know the TTR320 Product Overview The Three-Phase TTR® Test Set is fully automatic, self-checking, menu-driven unit. The test set measures the turn ratio, phase shift, and excitation current of power, distribution, and instrument transformers. A “-47” suffix added to the catalog number denotes a 230-V input power supply, rather than the standard 120-V supply.

Checking reverse polarity at start of each test. Via ethernet port, an external PC or laptop can be connected to operate the TTR (in remote control mode) or to transfer test results and to provide full transformer test report. Quick test mode provides the fastest testing of a transformer. Three excitation test voltages: 80 V, 40 V, and 8 V.

Refer to IEEE 510 - 1983, IEEE Recommended Practices for Safety in High-Voltage and High- Power Testing, for additional information.
made and the last removed. Any interruption of the grounding connection can create an electrical shock hazard. Personnel using heart pacemakers should obtain expert advice on the possible risks before operating this equipment or being close to the equipment during operation. Input Power precautions This instrument operates from a single-phase, sine wave, power source.
Making Circuit Connections Connections should be made in the order as listed below. 1. Ground. Use the Megger supplied Safety Ground Cable 15 ft (4.6 m) to connect the TTR320 Wing Nut Ground Terminal directly to Local Station Earth ground. Ensure the Transformer chassis also has impedance continuity to Local Station Earth ground potential.

4. Connect the Ethernet cable (optional). If the user chooses to operate the TTR320 in a remote-control mode, using PowerDB PC software, then connect the Ethernet cable between the TTR320 and the PC at this time. 5. Connect the Load-Tap-Changer cable (optional). If the user chooses to operate the “Test button”...
Connecting to the Transformer The setup and connection instructions included in Section 4 herein, pertaining to ratio, polarity, and phase relation, assume that the transformer under test, connections, and terminal markings comply with the requirements of ANSI C57.12.70-1990 American National Standards Terminal Markings and Connections for Distribution and Power Transformers.
2. Connect the H and X test cables to the respective H and X receptacles of the TTR320. Make sure that the connectors are securely fastened (using clockwise rotation) to the receptacles. 3. Connect the heavy-duty clamps marked H1 and H2 of the test lead to the corresponding (high-voltage winding) terminals of the transformer under test.
Connecting to the Transformer higher numbered terminal of the high-voltage winding. Similarly, X1 and X2 should be connected to the low-voltage winding. Test lead markings for the ANSI, CEI/IEC, and Australian standards are as shown in Table 4-1. Table 4-1. Test Lead Markings for Single-Phase Transformers Test Lead Marking Transformer Heavy-Duty...
Figure 4-4. Setup for Testing Single-Phase, Type B (Inverted Design) Step Voltage Regulator Three-Phase, Two-Winding Transformers Perform the following setup procedure for three-phase, two-winding transformers: 1. With the ON/OFF Switch in the OFF position, make the circuit connections as described in Section 3.2. 2.
Connecting to the Transformer 5. On/OFF Switch. It is only after all of the above connections are safely made and all safety precautions of sections 2 and 3 are satisfied, should the On/OFF switch be turned to the ON position. Table 4-2.
and Y3) of the transformer under test. Refer to Table 4-2 for test lead markings. With delta connected windings, X0 is not used. With wye connected windings, a neutral connection for X0 is normally available. 5. On/OFF Switch. It is only after all of the above connections are safely made and all safety precautions of sections 2 and 3 are satisfied, should the On/OFF switch be turned to the ON position.
Connecting to the Transformer 3. As shown in Figure 4-5, connect the heavy-duty clamps marked H1 and H2 of the test lead to the respective X1 and X2 terminals of the CT. Note that the H and X leads are connected in reverse as compared to the Single and Three phase Transformer testing described in the previous sections.
Figure 4-6 shows the setup for testing the taps on a multiple-tap CT. Figure 4-6. Setup for Testing Taps on Multiple Tap CT Bushing Current Transformer (BCT) Mounted on Single-Phase, Two-Winding Transformer A turn-ratio test can be performed on a BCT after it has been mounted on a circuit breaker or power transformer entrance bushing.
Connecting to the Transformer Check to make sure that the BCT is mounted with proper polarity with respect to power transformer entrance bushing and that connection polarities are correct. Figure 4-7. Setup for Testing BCT Mounted on Single-Phase Two-Winding Transformer BCTs Mounted on Three-Phase Transformers A turn-ratio test can be performed on all three BCTs using a single setup.
connection polarities are correct. Make connections as shown in figure 4-8 for delta winding configurations and figure 4-9 for wye winding configurations. Figure 4-8. Setup for Testing BCT Mounted on Delta Winding on a Three-Phase Power Transformer AVTMTTR320-EN Rev A Oct 2008...
T-Type Transformers T-type transformers represent a special type of thee-phase transformer. This transformer may be tested as a single phase transformer. In this case, the jumpers indicated in Table 4-3 should be applied to the appropriate terminals of the T- type transformers.
Operation Power up Proceed only after reading and fully reading and understanding Sections 2, 3, and 4 herein, with particular attention on the Safety related precautions. Once all Safety precautions are taken, and all circuit connections are made, then the user may safely turn the ON/OFF switch to the ON position and operate the test instrument as described herein.

TTR, allowing you to stay close to an LTC, change taps, and initiate the test routine. Connect the hand-held control unit, Megger p/n 30915-220, to the Remote Trigger Receptacle port of the TTR. The remote control unit pushbutton lamp will illuminate.
Operation PHASE A (or B, or C) TURNS RATIO TOO HIGH This message shows that a transformer under test turn ratio is higher than 10,000 (if 80 V or 40 V is used) or is higher than 4,000 (if 8 V is used). The message may be caused by poor connection of one of the test leads, as well.
Service Maintenance Maintenance should be performed only by qualified persons familiar with the hazards involved with high-voltage test equipment. Read and understand Sections 2, 3, 4, and 5 before performing any service. The TTR320 requires only periodic inspection. Periodically, inspect all hardware items, including the cable assemblies, to ensure all is in good condition.
To check the 3-phase TTR 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. The last standard has eleven switchable turns ratio settings which cover the turns ratio range from 1:1 to 2000:1.

Service To perform a 3-phase TTR functional test proceed as follows: 1. Turn TTR test set power off. 2. Connect H1 lead to X1 lead, H2 lead to X2 lead, H3 lead to X3 lead, and H0 lead to X0 lead. Make sure the leads are properly connected and that H/X pairs are not electrically in contact with each other.
Troubleshooting The Troubleshooting Guide, Table 6-1, is arranged to help you evaluate the reasons for TTR test set malfunction. The table lists possible 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.
