Page 104 Wherever possible, this table should be used for all inductance tests. The inductance range should be chosen based on minimum value of inductance expected. When choosing the test conditions, the following potential problems should be considered: AT5600 User Manual 98-119 issue 30 Page 104...
Page 105 In general, high values of inductance will have a high inter-turn capacitance and hence a low resonant frequency. Where there is a choice of test frequencies always use the lower value, to minimize any problems due to self-resonance. AT5600 User Manual 98-119 issue 30 Page 105...
Page 106 This can be a problem when trying to compare measurements made on commercially available impedance bridges, or component testers, with measurements made using the AT5600.

Page 161 Volt/turn ratio. To prevent damage to the UUT, or to the AT5600, the SURG test should always be applied to the winding with the greatest number of turns. You should also check that the design of the other windings that will be energized can withstand the induced voltage.
Page 162: Watt - Wattage
During the Wattage test, a constant, user specified AC voltage is applied across the winding in question. All other windings are held open circuit during this test. The AT5600 measures the voltage across and current through the winding. The Wattage is the product of the in-phase components of the current and voltage.

Page 296: 13. Test Fixtures
The full fixture system user manual part number 98-028 is available from the Voltech website. The AT5600 can perform an extremely comprehensive series of tests on a wide variety of wound components. To utilize this capability fully it is recommended that test fixtures are constructed to suit each part to be tested.

Page 304 Program for Load Compensation) 2. When the AT5600 performs a Load Compensation, it measures say 120 nH. The ratio of Nominal Value / AT Measured Results is stored in the AT5600’s memory as the Load Compensation Ratio. Example, this case 100nH / 120 nH = 0.833.

OC fixture is much larger than the insulation DC R value. Both limits include the internal impedance and leakage of the AT5600 itself and the customer fixture being used. The “Kelvin Pre-Check” feature (see the AT Editor program options) can also be used to confirm that each kelvin pair is closed as extra assurance before the compensation is run.
Page 306: General Notes
13.6.1. Beware of High Voltages The AT5600 can apply DC voltages up to 7000 V DC and AC voltages up to 5000 V AC during a test. This must be kept in mind when constructing test fixtures. If possible, always design the fixture with the nodes that experience the same high voltages grouped together.

The test pins on the bottom of the test fixture can also tarnish with age and accrue dirt and grease from the manufacturing environment. Voltech recommends Chemtronics Pow-R-Wash VZ for cleaning the test pins/ https://www.chemtronics.com/pow-r-wash-vz AT5600 User Manual 98-119 issue 30...
Page 308: 14. At Series Editor Software
The AT Editor user manual has now been removed from this manual and published as a separate standalone document. The basic instruction on Firmware updates, Self-test and customising the AT5600 using the Editor have been left in this section, but also are in the main AT Editor manual too.
Page 309: Firmware Upgrades
Connect AT EDITOR to AT5600 using USB from PC to the AT5600 USB-B port. If you have not already done so you will need to install the free AT5600 USB drivers for the AT5600 The At5600 will then show up in Windows Device Manager under COM ports.
Page 310 During the process, the unit will reboot and may appear blank; This is normal. In the unlikely event that the editor display shows an ‘ERROR’ or ‘FAIL’ dialogue box, before the download is complete (the AT5600 screen may also appear all white, blue, or red), then try repeating the entire procedure from step (c) Should the error persist then contact Voltech.
Page 311: Self-Test
Before commencing system test, please ensure that there is no fixture fitted and nothing is touching any of the test nodes on the top surface of the AT5600. The self-test shall only run if the Safety Interlock is in the safe condition.
Page 312 A prompt shall be displayed when the Self-Test is complete, as shown below. g) If the self-test detects a failure, a Self-Test Fail shall pop-up, contact your Voltech supplier for service. Please include the self-test log file, SelfTest.xml, with your inquiry for service.
Page 313: Customize Tester
To upgrade the AT5600 with new tests. a) Run the AT EDITOR software b) Connect AT EDITOR using USB (preferred) or RS232 comms to the AT5600. c) On the Editor, select Tester >Send Key Code. d) The following pop-up window shall appear.
