LYBDS6000E Transformer Short-circuit Impedance Tester

  Transformer LV Short-circuit Impedance Tester applies to LV load impedance test during delivery, overhaul, trial test and handover test of power transformers (single phase or three-phase).

  It tests the short-circuit impedance (%) of power voltage on site and compares it with the value indicated on the nameplate or the factory default to find out any defects including but not limited to winding displacement or deformation due to currents from major failure during transformation, installation or operation following the delivery test. (The short circuit change shall be considered as significant if it exceeds ± 3% as specified in China International Conference on Electricity Distribution 2000 (“CICED 2000")).

  Transformer LV Short-circuit Impedance Tester is not provided with an external voltage regulator and adopts the primary connection mode. It begins the three-phase testing and calculates impedance error percentage automatically when the parameter is entered and provides intuitive results. This is a rapid tester which detects winding deformation of transformers on site.

III.  Wiring Diagram（LYBDS6000E Transformer Short-circuit Impedance Tester）

●    Fig. A depicts the wiring of a single phase transformer

●    Fig. B depicts the wiring of a three-phase dual-winding transformer

●    Wiring of the three-phase dual-winding transformer is consistent with the selected position to be measured. If a High-Low position is selected for measurement, the testing wire should be connected to the HV side while the LV side is under short circuit; the remaining wires are under open circuit. If a High-Medium position is selected, the testing wire should be connected to the HV side while the medium voltage side is under short circuit; the remaining wires are under open circuit. If a Medium-Low position is selected, the testing wire should be connected to the medium voltage side while the LV side is under short circuit; the remaining wires are under open circuit.

●    The section of short circuit wire should be no less than 10 mm2 (bare copper wire is preferred). Such wire should be in good contact; otherwise it will affect the accuracy of testing data.
