Introduction 2.1 General 2.2 Transformers tap changers This manual is valid for the LTC135 and it is designed for use together with the Megger instruments; Many transformers used today have built-in taps. TM1800, TM1700-series, TM1600 and EGIL. These taps allow ratio to be increased or decreased by LTC135 is a power supply designed for DC current a few percent.
Dynamic current measurement (”ripple”) ▪ Dynamic voltage measurement ▪ Dynamic resistance measurement (DRM) LTC135 can be used for continuity verification (any dynamic method works), dynamic current, dynamic voltage measurements (timing) and dynamic resist- ance measurements (timing and resistance).

Connect VOLTAGE OUT on LTC135 to CBA Voltage sensing channel (TM1760 Tim- ing M/R). Connect SHUNT OUT on LTC135 to CBA Cur- rent sensing channel (TM1760 Analog). Connect CURRENT OUTPUT/VOLTAGE IN to transformer winding where LTC is to be tested e.g. A-N.
Since the short has very little resistance, the circulating current through the transformer and the short may continue for a very long period of time. The LTC135 discharge circuitry is built-in and will automatically initiate when the current source is disconnected from the transformer.

For HV delta configurations, the test current is Connection diagram for dynamic resistance measurements 2/3 of measured current from LTC135. Assign on a single-phase transformer. Test current is the same as a 3/2 current transducer in the CBA to get measured current from LTC135.
Dynamic resistance measurements Connection diagram for single-phase dynamic resistance measurements on a three-phase YNy or YNd transformer. Test current is the same as the three measured currents from LTC135. Note 3-phase dynamic resistance measurements are not recommended to perform on HV delta configurations.
