  • Page 11: Calculation And Measurement Methods

    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 12 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 Preliminary 90297-0.24 Instruction Manual mini-ATOS Page 12 of 125...
  • Page 13: Relative Error

    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. Preliminary 90297-0.24 Instruction Manual mini-ATOS Page 13 of 125...

    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 and low voltage side winding simultaneously.
  • Page 15: Temperature Correction

    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:...
  • Page 16: Resistance Deviation

    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. Preliminary 90297-0.24 Instruction Manual mini-ATOS Page 16 of 125...

    Figure 5-A shows an actual example of a hysteresis curve during demagnetization which is performed using the mini-ATOS. Figure 5-B is a closer look at the same curve. The depicted parameters are described below: Ф [ ���� ] : Magnetic flux with the unit of volt-seconds or weber. It will be measured as integral of the inductive part voltage over time.
  • Page 19: Magnetic Balance

    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.

  • Page 21: Short Circuit Jumpers

    The reason for this is that the resistance of the mini-ATOS test cable is much higher compared to the resistance of the windings, which can affect the measurement. Special jumper cables designed for this purpose can be ordered as optional accessories from Raytech.
  • Page 22: Dynamic Resistance Measurement (Drm)

    Because of these transition resistors, there is a current drop during switching process which can be investigated by DRM test. Typical DRM curve of a resistive type OLTC can be seen in Figure 6. The mini-ATOS calculate the parameters listed in Table 3 for each DRM curve.
  • Page 23 Figure 6: Typical DRM curve of a resistive type OLTC During the dynamic resistance measurement, it is possible to short circuit the other transformer sides. In this way, the current drop is much bigger. Preliminary 90297-0.24 Instruction Manual mini-ATOS Page 23 of 125...
  • Page 24: Oltc Motor Drive Current

    Many mechanical and control problems of OLTC can be detected by the drive motor current. The mini-ATOS can measure this current by utilizing a current clamp. This test can be performed simultaneously with DRM. The measured current then would be shown as graph like Figure 7 for comparing and the parameters according to Table 4 will be calculated.
