Failure to comply with these precautions and other specific warnings violates the safety standards of design, manufacture, and intended use. Raytech assumes no liability for the operation and use of this equipment.
Because of the danger of introducing additional hazards, do not install substitute parts or perform any unauthorized modification to the instrument. Return the instrument to a Raytech service department for service to ensure proper operation and that safety features are maintained.

This is a useful test to check for shorted turns and also to find probable incorrect settings of tap changers during manufacturing or repairing. The mini-ATOS performs the turns ratio by applying voltage on the high voltage side of each phase and measuring the applied voltage and transformed voltage. Figure 2 represents the very simple schematic of the measuring circuit.
Page 11
Consider that for the current example the number of turns is 93531and 9000 for each primary and secondary winding respectively. The following equations are valid: 93531 = = 10.3923 9000 90297-0.22 Instruction Manual mini-ATOS Page 11 of 92...
The calculated error can be compared with a limit value. Generally, there are limit values for the turns ratio relative error. A typical limit value according to IEEE C57.12.00-2010 is 0.5%. This limit value can be used to judge if the test is passed or failed. 90297-0.22 Instruction Manual mini-ATOS Page 12 of 92...
Figure 4: Summarized schematic of mini-ATOS winding resistance measuring circuit The mini-ATOS has two power supplies with the same output power which can be used to measure both high voltage side and low voltage side winding simultaneously.
The mini-ATOS winding resistance circuit is also equipped with heavy-duty discharge circuits that are very unique in design to dissipate the stored energy in the transformer windings. 4.2.2 Temperature Correction The DC resistance measured values can be corrected to the desired reference values by employing the following equation based on IEEE C57.12.90:...
Please note that if the temperature of phases is not the same during the resistance measurements, the deviation values may be higher. In this case, it is better to calculate the deviation values of the temperature-corrected resistances. 90297-0.22 Instruction Manual mini-ATOS Page 15 of 92...

Figure 5: A) A real example of a hysteresis curve during demagnetization with the mini-ATOS. B) Closer look at the same curve in A. 4.3.1 Raytech SPP Demagnetization Method To achieve a very small residual magnetism, the mini-ATOS use a special method to perform the final cycles of the demagnetization, called SPP, Smart Pattern Predictor, which is based on pattern recognition.
When the aim is to achieve a very small residual magnetism to perform special tests like SFRA The mini-ATOS can use the advantage of the automatic multiplexer to perform demagnetization from each phase automatically and without changing the connection setup.
4.4 Magnetic Balance Raytech mini-ATOS performs the magnetic balance test by applying AC voltage on each winding of the three-phase transformer from the high voltage side and measuring induced voltage into other windings on the same side. The applied voltage produces magnetic flux in the core which is distributed to other parts of the core and induces a voltage into other windings.
When you want to perform a measurement in which tertiary winding is involved (e.g., Turns ratio between primary and tertiary), you have to connect the mini-ATOS X Cables to the tertiary side. Because of safety, take care when you perform tests between secondary and tertiary. The voltage may transform to a very dangerous level at the primary side during the measurements.

In the lifetime of a high voltage asset, usually a measurement or group of measurements have to be performed periodically and also sometimes occasionally. The aim is to inspect the health condition or to detect the suspected failures. In mini-ATOS, each group of measurements is called a Test Plan which forms an Inspection.
