RMO40TD Getting Started
Note:
Never remove the current leads during the demagnetization process and always allow enough time for
the transformer being tested to completely demagnetize. Large transformers can require several minutes
to demagnetize. During the demagnetization process the transformer will be charged and discharged
several times. Once the demagnetization process is finished, the RMO40TD device displays the
message “Demagnetization done!”
Attention:
When the demagnetization process is manually stopped by pressing
STOP
, it is highly recommended to
follow the discharging LED and the buzzer and to be aware of the danger during the discharging
process.
Tap Changer Remote
The external Tap Changer Remote cable is used for convenient tap changer testing.
After the RMO40TD has measured a tap it stands by waiting for the operator to move the transformer tap
changer to the next tap position and continue the measurement by pressing
OMEGA
on the unit.
The tap changer operation box on power transformers is normally not placed at the same place where
the RMO40TD is placed. The Tap Changer Remote block allows the operator to continue the next tap
measurement from the RMO40TD position. It is performed by pressing
UP/DOWN
on the Tap Changer
Remote block.
The operator has to connect the Tap Changer Remote cable from the RMO40TD to the tap changer
operation box. An example of that connection is shown on the figure below.
