21 CVT ratio testing LV measurements (100 V TTR) High ratio very low secondary voltage. May be difficult to measure accurately, especially in the field Test voltage from TTR instrument is stepped down times in the capacitive divider Very low test voltage to step-down transformer Impedance error risk Inaccuracy is generally > 1% HV measurements (2-5 kv TTR) Higher test voltage reduces accuracy issues Inaccuracies < 0.5% is achievable HV measurements ( kv) capacitance method Very high test voltage (up to rated voltage) removes accuracy issues Final accuracy is pending accuracy of standard capacitors (as well as test equipment) Inaccuracies < 0.1% is achievable 21

22 CVT ratio measurement factory setup (bridge) 22

23 CVT ratio testing with traditional bridge High accuracy by using bridge technique Manual instrument Needs balancing Manual data collection, interpretation and reporting Difficult to create an automated test No computer interface Can only measure capacitance Reference capacitor on LV circuit Higher capacitance (>1000 pf) is desired to get higher test current Expensive and limited number of suppliers 23

24 CVT ratio measurement factory setup (direct) Can be exchanged for a reference resistor 24

25 CVT ratio testing using direct measurements Processor based instrument No balancing Direct readings Automated data collection and interpretation Computer interface to standard lab SW Can measure capacitance, resistance and inductance in combination Possibility to use a reference resistor on LV circuit Less expensive and can easily be designed for higher measurement current Accuracy in line with traditional bridge technique 25

26 Summary CVT ratio measurements CVT ratio needs to be verified in factory tests (and sometimes also in the field ) CVT s with 0.1% accuracy class needs to be tested with a test setup that provides an inaccuracy well below 0.1%. Only HV methods are possible to use Traditional tan delta and capacitance measurement bridges provides very good accuracy but Needs balancing Have manual data collection, interpretation and reporting Are difficult to integrate in an automated test setup Reference components are limited to capacitors Direct voltage-current measurement instruments can measure capacitance, resistance and inductance in combination and provides No balancing, direct readings, automated data collection Computer interface to standard lab SW e.g. LabView Possibility to use a reference resistor on LV circuit Accuracy in line with traditional bridge technique 26
