present. Notify Megger of any shortage. Telephone 610-676-8500.
Examine the instrument for damage received in transit. If any damage is discovered, file
a claim with the carrier at once and notify Megger or its nearest authorized sales
representative, giving a detailed description of the damage.
This instrument has been thoroughly tested and inspected to meet rigid specifications
before being shipped. It is ready for use when set up as indicated in this manual.
General Information
The Three-Phase TTR ® Test Set is fully automatic, self-checking, self-calibrating,
menu-driven unit. The test set measures the turn ratio, phase shift, and excitation current
of power, distribution, and instrument transformers. A “-47” suffix added to the catalog
number denotes a 230-V input power supply, rather than the standard 120-V supply.
The test set is a portable instrument housed in a sturdy plastic case with lid and carrying
strap. The inside bottom half of the case is nickel coated. A canvas carrying bag is
supplied to hold all accessories.
The test set can be used to test single-phase and three-phase transformers, both with and
without taps in accordance with the requirements of the IEEE C57.12.90 – 1997
standards. For three-phase measurements, the test set is connected to all three phases of
the transformer to be tested. The TTR lead selection circuitry permits automatic
measurement of all phases without changing connections. This feature eliminates the
need to refer to hook-up charts when testing three-phase transformers. Turn ratio, phase
shift and excitation current readings are displayed on a large LCD. Transformer
excitation current as well as phase shift angle helps to detect transformer shorted turns
or an unequal number of turns connected in parallel. Operating condition (error)
messages identify incorrect test connections, abnormal operating condition, or winding
problems. Test results can be saved, printed out on an optional printer, or uploaded to a
personal computer (PC).
Features include:
§ Self-checking at power-up.
§ Test turn ratio, phase shift (in both degree and centiradian), and excitation current.
§ Storage capacity for up to 200 tests for retrieving, printing out, or uploading to a PC.
§ Meets the requirements of both the European EMC and Low Voltage Directives.
The test set and the specimen to which it is connected are a possible source of
high-voltage electrical energy and all persons making or assisting in tests must use all
practical safety precautions to prevent contact with energized parts of the test equipment
and related circuits. Persons actually engaged in the test must stand clear of all parts of
the complete high-voltage circuit, including all connections, unless the test set is
de-energized and all parts of the test circuit are grounded. Persons not directly involved
with the work must be kept away from test activities by suitable barriers, barricades, or
warnings.
Treat all terminals of high-voltage power equipment as a potential electric shock hazard.
There is always the possibility of voltages being induced at these terminals because of
proximity to energized high-voltage lines or equipment. Always disconnect test leads
from power equipment before attempting to disconnect them at the test set. The ground
connection must be the first made and the last removed. Any interruption of the
grounding connection can create an electric shock hazard.
This instrument operates from a single-phase power source. It has a three-wire power
cord and requires a two-pole, three-terminal, live, neutral, and ground type connector.
The voltage to ground from the live pole of the power source must be within the
following rated operating voltage:
The neutral pole must be at ground potential. Before making connection to the power
source, determine that the instrument rating matches the voltage of the power source
and has a suitable two-pole, three-terminal grounding type connector.
The power input plug must be inserted only into a mating receptacle with a ground
contact. Do not bypass the grounding connection. Any interruption of the grounding
connection can create an electric shock hazard. Determine that the receptacle is properly
wired before inserting the plug.
For test sets energized with 230 V input, the neutral terminal of the input supply cord
(white or blue lead) must be connected to the neutral pole of the line power source. The
ground terminal of the input supply cord (green or yellow/green lead) must be
connected to the protective ground (earth) terminal of the line power source. The black
or brown cord lead is the live (hot) lead.
To avoid electric shock hazard, operating personnel must not remove the instrument
from the case. Any repair or component replacement must be performed by qualified
service personnel.
The control circuits of the instrument are protected by two mains circuit fuses. These
fuses are replaceable by the operator. To avoid electric shock and fire hazard, use only
the fuse specified in Section 3, Specifications, that is identical in respect to type, voltage
rating and current rating. Refer to the Fuse Replacement procedure in the Service
section.
WARNING
Before replacing the fuses, disconnect the power
input plug from the live power source.
Megger has made formal safety reviews of the initial design and any subsequent changes.
This procedure is followed for all new products and covers areas in addition to those
included in applicable standards. Regardless of these efforts, it is not possible to
eliminate all hazards from electrical test equipment. For this reason, every effort has
been made to point out in this instruction manual the proper procedures and precautions
to be followed by the user in operating this equipment and to mark the equipment itself
with precautionary warnings where appropriate. It is not possible to foresee every hazard
which may occur in the various applications of this equipment. It is therefore essential
that the user, in addition to following the safety rules in this manual, also carefully
consider all safety aspects of the test before proceeding.
§ The purpose of this equipment is limited to use as described in this manual. Do not
use the equipment or its accessories with any device other than specifically described.
§ Refer to IEEE 510 - 1983, IEEE Recommended Practices for Safety in High-Voltage and
High-Power Testing, for additional information.
If the test equipment is operated properly and all grounds correctly made, test personnel
need not wear rubber gloves. As a routine safety procedure, however, some users require
that rubber gloves be worn, not only when making connections to the high-voltage
terminals, but also when manipulating the controls. Megger considers this an excellent
safety practice.
Users of equipment should note that high-voltage discharges and other sources of strong
electric or magnetic field may interfere with the proper functioning of heart pacemakers.
Persons with heart pacemakers should obtain expert advice on the possible risks before
operating this equipment or being close to the equipment during operation.

Principle of Operation
The TTR test set provides accurate measurements of transformer input and output
voltages and the, calculates a transformer turn ratio. The TTR also measures phase shift
between primary and secondary windings of a transformer and transformer excitation
current.
A block diagram of the TTR test set is shown in Figure 4-1. The excitation voltage
transformer converts the main voltage into the test excitation voltage of a transformer.
The excitation voltage transformer outputs three test voltages: 80 V, 40 V, and 8 V. The
transformer under test excitation current is measured by the excitation current
measurement circuitry. The test excitation voltage is applied to a transformer under test
through the H winding lead select circuitry. This circuitry automatically excites the
transformer windings depending on winding connections. The same excitation voltage is
applied to the reference conditioning circuitry.
The transformer under test output voltage is connected to the X winding lead select
circuitry. This circuitry automatically connects the transformer winding being tested to
the range conditioning circuitry.
The range and reference conditioning circuitries isolate a transformer under test from
the TTR measurement circuitry and provide conditioning of the input and output
measurement signals. The programmable gain amplifier is used for additional
conditioning of the transformer output signals.
Both the reference A/D converter and the range A/D converter are used to convert the
analog measurement signals to their digital replica. The converted output digital signals
are applied to the microprocessor.
The microprocessor orchestrates all steps of the TTR test set operation. It provides
proper sequence of operation, gathers and calculates the test results, provides interfacing
with the display, RS232/printer port, and the control circuitry. The control circuitry
interfaces with virtually all function blocks described, providing proper control sequence
of the TTR test set operation.

Table 5-4 shows winding diagrams for standard transformers and nonstandard
transformers for power and distribution transformers marked in accordance with the
ANSI standard. Table 5-5 shows winding diagrams for power transformers marked in
accordance with the CEI/IEC standard, and Table 5-6 shows winding diagrams for
power transformers marked in accordance with the Australian standard.
The tables show the windings tested for each of the three phases. The tables also show
the relationship between the measured turn ratio and the actual line-to-line voltage ratio.
For the ANSI specification, the rated voltage on the high-voltage winding is represented
by VH; VX represents rated voltage on the low-voltage winding.
The TTR is also capable of measuring the turn ratio on three-phase transformers with an
inaccessible neutral point. In this case, the TTR automatically shorts an appropriate
transformer winding, listed in the winding shorted column of the table. An inaccessible
neutral point on the high-voltage or low-voltage transformer winding is designated by
the symbol *.
Figure 5-10 (a) shows the relationship in a typical delta-wye connected transformer with
accessible neutral connection point. The delta winding is the high-voltage winding and
the terminals are marked H1, H2 , and H3. The wye winding is the low-voltage winding
and the terminals are marked X0, X1, X2, and X3 . Determine which windings (lines) are
parallel to each other. In the diagram, winding
Note that the phase displacement for Figure 5-10 (a) diagram is 30° and has an IEC
vector group coding of Dyn1. Refer to the notes to Tables 5-4 through 5-6 for an
explanation of vector group coding. For phase displacement between windings the
vector relating to the HV winding is taken as the vector of origin (dotted line on delta
winding, H1 on wye winding). The vector relating to the low-voltage wye winding is
taken as X1 (dotted line on a delta winding) and is expressed in counterclockwise rotation
of low-voltage winding in 30° clock-hour figure increments. The low-voltage winding lag
may be from 0 to 330° in steps of 30°.
The TTR test set is capable of measuring the turn ratio of three-phase transformers
where the windings are rotated or are connected in various phase displacements from
standard. Figure 5-10 (b) vector diagram is an example of a typical case where the phase
is displaced 150° from that of Figure 5-10 (a) diagram. Vector group coding for this
diagram is Dyn5.
Figure 5-10 (c) is an example of a nameplate vector diagram drawn differently from that
of Figure 5-5 (a). Although a corresponding figure cannot be found in Table 5-4, the
transformer and its testing is identical to that for Figure 5-10 (a).

(d)
The letters indicate the three-phase winding connections; D, Y, and Z designate the HV
side winding; d, y, and z designate the LV side winding. D and d represent a delta
connection, Y and y represent a wye connection, and Z and z represent a zigzag
connection. N and n indicate that the neutral point of a star or zigzag connected winding
is accessible on the respective HV or LV side winding. The number indicates the phase
displacement (lag) of the LV winding with respect to the HV winding in units of 30º.
For example, 0 = 0º lag, 1 = 30º lag, 2 = 60º lag, 6 = 180º lag, 11 = 330º lag.
External terminal markings for three-phase power transformers with more than two
windings are as follows:
If unable to find a corresponding diagram for a transformer with, for example, accessible
neutral winding but can find the corresponding diagram for the same transformer with
no neutral accessible winding, follow the test procedure for the transformer with no

The letters indicate the three-phase winding connections; D, Y, and Z designate the HV
side winding; d, y, and z designate the LV side winding. D and d represent a delta
connection, Y and y represent a wye connection, and Z and z represent a zigzag
connection. N and n indicate that the neutral point of a star or zigzag connected winding
is accessible on the respective HV or LV side winding. The number indicates the phase
displacement (lag) of the LV winding with respect to the HV winding in units of 30º.
For example, 0 = 0º lag, 1 = 30º lag, 2 = 60º lag, 6 = 180º lag, 11 = 330º lag.
External terminal markings for three-phase power transformers with more than two
windings are as follows:
If unable to find a corresponding diagram for a transformer with, for example, accessible
neutral winding but can find the corresponding diagram for the same transformer with
no neutral accessible winding, follow the test procedure for the transformer with no
neutral accessible winding. In this case, specify the diagram number for the transformer
with no neutral accessible winding and do not connect 1N or 2N lead to the neutral.

Error Messages
When an error message appears in the transformer test result screen indicating an
abnormal operating condition, verify the condition by taking a repeat measurement
before attempting to take any corrective action. Also, refer to the Troubleshooting
section for malfunctions and possible causes.
Open connections, wrong connections, open windings, shorted windings, high resistance
windings, other abnormal transformer problems, or a combination of these may cause a
large deviation from normal turn ratio or indicate an unusual message. The unusual
operating conditions may be caused by an abnormal leakage reactance or capacitive
coupling within the transformer windings. If abnormal operating conditions occur
during transformer testing, the following error messages will appear on the quick test
result screen and the transformer test result screen, accompanied by three short beeps.
CHECK CONNECTIONS
This message indicates that the transformer is not connected to the test set. The message
may be caused by poor connection of one of the test leads, as well.
This message indicates that excitation current exceeds 500 mA. Excitation current can be
reduced by using lower test voltages (40 V or 8 V).
This message shows that a transformer under test turn ratio is less than 0.8. The TTR is
not designed to test a transformer turn ratio under 0.8.
This message shows that a transformer under test turn ratio is higher than 10,000
(if 80 V or 40 V is used) or is higher than 4,000 (if 8 V is used). The message may be
caused by poor connection of one of the test leads, as well.
This message is caused by incorrect connection of the H and X leads. The H and X leads
have either been reversed or the test transformer connections or markings do not
comply with the requirements of ANSI, IEC, or the Australian standard. The message
may be caused by wrong diagram number specified, as well.
This message shows that the H or X test leads are incorrectly connected or the test
transformer connections or markings do not comply with the requirements of ANSI,
IEC, or the Australian standard.
If self-test fails, one of the following error messages will appear on the opening display
screen and you should return the test set to Megger for repair. Refer to Repair section
for instructions.
Connect the hand-held control unit, Megger p/n 30915-220, to the RS232 port of the
TTR. At power-up, the TTR detects that the hand-held control unit is connected and
automatically sets the QUICK MODE operation.
To start testing specify the transformer diagram number and press 3 (START TEST) at
QUICK MODE menu. The remote control unit pushbutton lamp will go on. Now an
operator may come to the remote location, set, for example, LTC to the desired position
and then depress the remote control unit pushbutton for a short time, then release it.
The pushbutton lamp extinguishes until the TTR is ready for the next test. When the
current testing is complete, the test results are automatically saved, the test ID is
advanced to the next number, the pushbutton lamp lights, and the TTR test set is ready
for the next remote test.

To operate, simply plug the cigarette lighter adaptor in and plug in the TTR test set.
Keep your vehicle running when operating the inverter. The XP 125 inverter will source
up to 125 W load. To maximize the performance of the inverter, keep the battery and
other electrical connectors clean and free of corrosion. Always unplug the inverter when
it is not in use. The inverter has numerous built-in protection features which prevent
internal damage. The most important of these features include:
1. Low battery voltage – if the battery voltage at the inverter drops below the under
voltage cut-off (10.6 V dc), the inverter will automatically shut off. When battery
voltage increases to 95 % of nominal battery voltage (13. 8 V dc), the inverter will
restart.
2. High battery voltage – if the battery voltage input rises above the over voltage cut-
off (16.5 V dc), the inverter will automatically shut off. When the battery voltage
input drops back to the normal voltage range, it will turn itself back on.
3. Over-temperature – if the inverter gets too hot due to high ambient temperature,
blocked air flow or overload conditions it will automatically shut off. However, when
the inverter reaches an acceptable temperature it will automatically turn back on.
4. Overpower – the inverter will source up to it’s maximum power rating, however, if
the load requires more than this, the output voltage will be lowered to supply no
more than it’s maximum power. In this way, the maximum power from the inverter
is reduced to a safe amount.
Introduction
COMLink software, P/N 35794-2, is Megger's software program for use, in particular, with
a Three-Phase TTR (Transformer Turn Ratio Test set – MEGGER Cat. No. 550503).
COMLink software provides 2 modes of operation for the three phase TTR: Three
Phase TTR COMLink operation and Three-phase TTR Remote Control operation.
Three phase TTR Remote Control operation allows you to control all three phase TTR
functions by a PC.
Three-phase TTR COMLink operation allows you to transfer test data from the Three
Phase TTR to a personal computer (PC). You can save test data from the TTR and view
it on the PC in a viewing format appropriate for the data. The test results transferred
may be saved in either a text file, and/or a Microsoft® Access database (PC DB) and/or
an Excel spreadsheet format.
COMLink software consists of two programs - COMLink, which provides the interface
to the TTR, and COM32, which provides the communication to the TTR. COMLink
takes care of starting and terminating COM32. Your COMLink installation diskettes or
CD will install both COMLink and COM32.
An RS232 cable (P/N 35248), supplied with a TTR connects the TTR to the PC. The
TTR and the PC must operate with the same communication parameters.
RAM: 32 M
Communication parameters:
Parity: None
Stop Bit: 1
Data Bits: 8
Upgrade Instructions
The upgrades version of COMLink may be installed to the same location as a previously
installed version of COMLink.
If you have AVOLink software installed on your PC, the COMLink software may be
installed to the same location. In this case, AVOLink database will automatically be
transferred to COMLink.
Once COMLink has been successfully installed, and database transfer has been verified,
AVOLink may be removed by using Add/Remove Software in PC Control Panel.
Do not uninstall the existing version of COMLink. The new version of COMLink will
automatically replace the existing version.

Maintenance
Maintenance should be performed only by qualified persons familiar with the hazards
involved with high-voltage test equipment. Read and understand Section 2, Safety,
before performing any service.
The TTR test set is sturdily constructed and requires no periodic maintenance. Routine
maintenance is all that is required for the TTR test sets. Inspect the cable assemblies
occasionally to ensure they are in good condition.
The appearance of the TTR test set can be maintained by occasionally cleaning the case,
panel and cable assemblies. Clean the outside of the carrying case with detergent and
water. Dry with a clean, dry cloth. Clean the control panel with a cloth dampened with
detergent and water. Do not allow water to penetrate panel holes, because damage to
components on the underside may result. An all-purpose, household spray cleaner can
be used to clean the panel. Polish with a soft, dry cloth, taking care not to scratch the
display screen cover. Clean the cables and mating panel receptacles with isopropyl or
denatured alcohol applied with a clean cloth.
Fuse Replacement
The electronic circuits in the TTR test set are protected by two mains fuses. Fuse
replacement is indicated if the electronic circuits do not function. Refer fuse replacement
to qualified personnel. To avoid electric shock and fire hazard, use only the fuses
specified in Section 3, Specifications, that are identical in respect to type, voltage rating,
and current rating. Note that 2 spare fuses are included with each TTR.
WARNING
Before replacing the fuses, disconnect the power
input plug from the live power source.
2. Using a small flathead screwdriver, carefully pry out the fuse holder of the input
power module installed on the right side of the TTR test set front panel.
4. Install new fuse(s) making sure to use the type specified in Section 3.
5. Reinstall the fuse holder in its receptacle in the input power module. Connect the
power cord to the TTR test set and to an energized power source. If the electronic
circuits still do not function properly, contact the factory for service.
Calibration
A complete performance and calibration check should be made at least once every year.
This will ensure that the TTR test set is functioning and calibrated properly over the
entire measurement range. The 3-phase TTR calibration is performed on each new or
repaired unit before sending it to a customer. There is a special 3-phase TTR final
calibration procedure which requires a NIST-traceable test equipment to be used. As a
result of such calibration procedure, each TTR test set may be NIST certified.
To check the 3-phase TTR calibration at a customer site or in the field, the Megger
Calibration Standard Cat.No550055 or equivalent standard should be used. To perform a
quick simplified calibration check, the Megger Calibration Standard CatNo550555 may
be used. The last standard has eleven switchable turns ratio settings which cover the
turns ratio range from 1:1 to 2000:1. Using these Calibration Standards will confirm
proper calibration of TTR test set.
The 3-phase TTR test set is designed and optimized for the transformer turns ratio
testing. It uses a mixed analog-digital technique to provide the high accurate readings of
the tested transformer turns ratio. The test set measurement approach is based on high
impedance input and output transformer voltage monitoring circuits. The high
impedance of the monitoring circuits is optimized for the accurate transformer turns
ratio testing.
When performing a 3-phase TTR functional test, the H and X test leads interconnect the
input and output monitoring circuits without a transformer being connected. Such
connection cause an impedance mismatch and, as a result of the mismatch, the displayed
turns ratio reading is not exactly 1:1 as it may be expected. A customer should be aware
that a functional test is not a real transformer turns ratio test. Due to the intrinsic and
inevitable impedance mismatching, the 3-phase TTR functional test readings may be
from 0.9980 to 1.0020. The TTR functional test readings do not represent its calibration.
It simply shows that the TTR test set circuitry functions properly. To check the 3-phase
TTR calibration, a customer should use the Calibration Standards mentioned in
Calibration section of the manual.
4. After self-test is complete and the main menu screens appear, select 4, and then
select 4 and enter 80 V. On the same menu select 6.
6. When the Quick test setup menu appears, select 2 and enter 7. The transformer type
entry displays DIAG 07 YNyn0.
