The GS213 Transformer Capacity Characteristic Tester can accurately measure the capacity of various distribution transformers with passive measurement. It can also measure no-load current, no-load loss, short-circuit voltage, short-circuit loss, and zero-sequence impedance of various types of transformers. It can automatically perform waveform distortion correction, temperature correction, voltage correction (no-load test under non-rated voltage), and current correction (short-circuit test under non-rated current conditions). The operator only needs to input the correction index according to the transformer type, and the instrument will automatically calculate the corrected results. It allows external voltage and current transformers to expand the measurement range, enabling measurement of test objects with arbitrary parameters.

Introduction

The Transformer Capacity Characteristic Tester can accurately measure the capacity of various distribution transformers with passive measurement. It can also measure no-load current, no-load loss, short-circuit voltage, short-circuit loss, and zero-sequence impedance of various types of transformers. It can automatically perform waveform distortion correction, temperature correction, voltage correction (no-load test under non-rated voltage), and current correction (short-circuit test under non-rated current conditions). The operator only needs to input the correction index according to the transformer type, and the instrument will automatically calculate the corrected results. It allows external voltage and current transformers to expand the measurement range, enabling measurement of test objects with arbitrary parameters.



The Transformer Capacity Characteristic Tester is specifically designed for testing the capacity of standard distribution power transformers under low voltage and low current conditions. Its built-in test power supply can complete capacity tests for 100 units of 2500KVA distribution transformers on a single charge. It adopts advanced A/D synchronous AC sampling technology and digital signal processing technology, with exquisite circuit design, unique concepts, superior performance, powerful functions, small size, and light weight. The integrated design makes it easy to carry and suitable for field operations, fully meeting the requirements for on-site distribution transformer capacity testing. It features Chinese character display and prints measurement data of interest to users.



2 Design Purpose

China's power system implements a two-part tariff: in addition to the fees charged by metering devices, a basic electricity fee is also charged based on transformer capacity; for larger users, an additional capacity increase fee is required when commissioning transformers. With the development of the power industry and the increase in electricity consumption, self-owned transformers and privately contracted transformers have gradually occupied a considerable share of distribution transformers. Consequently, individuals have resorted to various fraudulent means (mainly altering or replacing transformer nameplates) to reduce fees and increase electricity usage; some users steal electricity fees amounting to hundreds of thousands of yuan annually, and power departments lack effective control measures. The Transformer Characteristic-Capacity Comprehensive Tester is a high-precision instrument specifically developed by the company to address this issue, designed for measuring transformer capacity and loss parameters.



3 Usage Features

The Transformer Capacity Characteristic Tester comes with a high-efficiency rechargeable battery, allowing operation without external power supply. A single charge can support continuous measurement of dozens to hundreds of units; additionally, it internally synthesizes a three-phase standard sine wave signal (not a simple inverter AC output, ensuring accuracy of test data under non-rated conditions), and through a power amplifier, it can provide a three-phase precision AC test source. When measuring transformer capacity and short-circuit loss, there is no need for external three-phase test power supplies, voltage regulators, or current boosters, simplifying wiring and greatly improving work efficiency; the capacity test accuracy rate reaches 100%. It is equivalent to two devices in one: an active transformer capacity tester + a transformer loss parameter tester. It can precisely measure a series of power frequency parameters such as capacity, no-load current, no-load loss, short-circuit loss, and impedance voltage for various transformers. The Transformer Capacity Characteristic Tester has advantages such as small size, light weight, high measurement accuracy, good stability, and easy operation, fully replacing previous multi-meter methods for measuring transformer loss and capacity. It features simple wiring, convenient testing and recording, greatly improving work efficiency. The Transformer Capacity Characteristic Tester uses a large-screen graphical LCD as the display window, with graphical menu operation and Chinese prompts, integrating multiple parameters on one screen. The human-machine interface is friendly, and it is easy and quick to use, making it the preferred product for power users at all levels.
