PMT20020 CT/PT Transformer Measurement System







PMT20020 Series CT/PT Measurement Systems

The PMT20020 series of CT/PT Instrument Transformer Test Systems are self-contained, turnkey systems designed to measure the accuracy of instrumentation current and potential transformers. The measurement systems can also be configured for CT testing only or PT testing only.

The transformer test system is based upon a semi-automatic design which improves both productivity and adherence to quality procedures through the execution of pre-programmed test sctipts. An operator simply identifies the transformer to be tested which will load a default test script containing load and burden test points.

The measurement systems are rated to test instrument current transformers with both 5 ampere and 1 ampere secondaries and up to 6000 ampere primaries. The system will also test potential transformers with primary ratings up to 36KV and secondary ratings spanning 57 to 120 volts.

The measurement equipment is comprised of an amplifier based Current and Voltage source, a multi-ratio, two stage Reference Current Transformer, an automatic CT demagnetizer, a precision capacitor based, multi-ratio Reference Potential Divider, an auto-ranging and auto-balancing Instrument Transformer Comparator and a set of switchable CT and PT Burdens.

An integral host computer provides a direct, intuitive operator interface based upon the Microsoft Windows 10 operating system. The 'CT/PT Assist' application provides a virtual instrument operator interface to display the various measurements, effect system control functions, storage of test records, printing of test reports and connection to a local area network as required.

--- Measurement System Features ---

  • Typical accuracy class of 0.005, maximum 0.01 accuracy class for current transformer testing.

  • Typical accuracy class of 0.01, maximum 0.02 accuracy class for potential transformer testing.

  • Amplifier based excitation source provides low harmonic distortion, stability for 1% excitation testing and facilitates automatic test scripts.

  • Reference Current Transformer is of 2-stage design with the secondary and tertiary windings isolated to eliminate common burden potential thereby extracting maximum accuracy.

  • Reference Potential Standard is based on a capacitor based Electronic Potential Divider providing superior accuracy and linearity over a wide dynamic range.

  • Touch screen monitor based interface.

  • 'CT/PT Assist' application deployed on Windows 10 PC incorporates Test Script Database, Transformer Definition Database and Test Result Database to facilitate uniformity and productivity in the test process.

  • Excitation automatically set by test scripts or manually set by operator.

  • Touch screen monitor based interface.

  • 'CT/PT Assist' application deployed on Windows 10 PC incorporates Test Script Database, Transformer Definition Database and Test Result Database to facilitate uniformity and productivity in the test process.
