The following is a list of points that should be remembered when you are
creating your test programs.
1. Create your schematic first.
When you are creating your test programs, you should work in the
following order:
a. Initially, create the schematic.
b. Then, set up the program options.
c. Finally, create the list of tests that make up the program.
Note: If you make any changes to the schematic after you
have created the list of tests, then some tests may be
inadvertently deleted. Examples where this may happen are:
deleting a winding or a terminal, and renaming a terminal.
2. Use the recommended order for the tests in the program.
The actual tests used in the program are, of course, dependent upon the
type of transformer to be tested, and the number of parameters you have
chosen to test.
However, it is recommended that you generally do the tests in the
following order:
a. Continuity
To detect a transformer not correctly plugged into the test fixture, and
any open circuit windings.
b. Primary inductance
To detect faulty core material, and the wrong number of primary turns.
c. Turns ratios
To detect any windings with the wrong number of turns.
