RMO40TD Getting Started
changer is faulty, this may cause damage to the instrument. In order to avoid this, the inputs of the
instrument are protected during switching.
From the Current outputs, RMO40TD injects a constant current into the power transformer. From this
current value and the voltage measured, the winding resistance is calculated. An interruption caused by
a defective tap changer results in a comparatively high measured values of current ripple.
Setting the Measurement Parameters
Turn
on RMO40TD with the power switch on the back of the test set.
The display shows the
Current
menu and the green LED lights up. Press button
LEFT
and using
UP
button go to the
TapC
menu.
In the
TapC
menu, define a test current for the test (here
10 A
). The following values can be
chosen: 1 A, 2 A, 5 A, 10 A, 20 A.
To do so, set the value of your choice by means of the
UP/DOWN
buttons. In the TapC menu of
RMO40TD, current output value is rated continuously at 20 A or less. Define the memory position (here
MEMORY:123
). Using
RIGHT
move the cursor to the memory location position, then using
UP/DOWN
select desired memory position to which obtained results would be saved.
By pushing
Ω
, resistance and current ripple measured results will remain registered in internal memory
of RMO40TD, and the memory position is automatically switched over to the next memory position.
These results can be recalled later by selecting that position number.
Note:
Only Ch:1 (left channel) is active channel.
Tap Changer test with RMO40TD
Before a test can be started, test current and memory position need to be defined using the
TapC
menu.
Once these parameters are defined, press
ENTER
to change to the
Ready
state.
