Transformer Testing And Monitoring
Can detect the symptoms of transformer failure by monitoring the cooling system, load tap changer, dissolved gas, bushing power factor and capacitance, partial discharge, oil levels, pressure, temperatures and more.

Complete Transformer Test Systems
-
Our multifunction systems and van solutions are intuitive with all of the ease of working with individual, dedicated instruments. We deliver this experience through our design philosophy. Rather than producing a single, complex system with afterthought towards rendering it friendly, we uniquely combine several intelligent instruments packaged as a single system. This approach provides all the efficiencies that one would expect from a multifunction solution with all the comfortability and feel of working with a manageable single function instrument. For the user, this translates to a positive and unintimidating testing experience in spite of the comprehensive range of the system’s testing capability.

Current Transformer Testing
-
The need for a comprehensive current transformer testing regime is evident when the alternative is considered: a catastrophically damaging current transformer fault. A fault leading to an open secondary could cause the primary current to overwhelm the insulation, causing the winding to short circuit. Megger’s range of current transformer test equipment allows you to construct an in depth test and maintenance programme to prevent problems before they occur.

Insulating Oil Testing
-
Insulating oil in electrical power apparatus serves two primary roles, as an insulator and a coolant. As an insulating liquid, oil’s most important property is a high dielectric strength and as a cooling liquid, a low viscosity is paramount. The principal nemeses of insulating oil are oxidation, contamination (particularly moisture, which tends to lower the dielectric properties of insulating oil), and excessive temperature. These enemies are managed through design, regimented installation processes and prudent operation of the oil-filled power apparatus. At all stages of a power asset’s life, testing must be conducted to evaluate the condition of the insulating oil. In fact, for some assets, it can be argued that the oil is tested more frequently than any other component.

Transformer Resistance Testing
-
Transformer insulation resistance deterioration is one of the most common causes of transformer failure: a failing transformer is a costly replacement in an electrical system with the potential for a long downtime. If you fail to maintain your transformer with regular insulation resistance testing (as can be carried out by the Megger Transformer Ohmmeter (MTO) series of transformer test equipment) then it’s likely to fail before reaching its maximum operating life.

Transformer Insulation Testing
-
The primary test methods used to assess the condition of the active insulation components in transformers and bushings, on site, include:1) power factor/tan δ,2) variable frequency power factor/tan δ (1 - 500 Hz)3) dielectric frequency response (DFR) [a dielectric response method], and4) moisture in oil measurements (for transformers).

Turns Ratio Testing
-
The transformer turns ratio test, or TTR test, confirms that the transformer has the correct ratio of primary turns to secondary turns. Using this test correctly can help to identify tap changer performance, shorted turns, open windings, incorrect winding connections and other faults inside transformers. Megger’s range of TTR testers are robust to withstand the harsh conditions that some transformer testing in. The range includes varying features to simplify and speed up testing as well as 3 phase TTR testers and PT and CT TTR testers.
