Megger TRAX 280 Transformer & Substation Test System

Description

The Megger TRAX 280 Transformer & Substation Test System is a multifunctional instrument designed for primary injection testing of protective relay equipment, as well as other applications that require high variable currents, such as testing the turns ratio of current transformers. To this end, it delivers a high current output of up to 800A.

Convenience, ease-of-use, and performance are at the forefront of the Megger TRAX 280 Transformer & Substation Test System’s design. It includes an array of measurement capabilities and functions intended to improve the ease and efficiency of testing as well as reduce the number of instruments required to carry out inspections without compromising on reliability and accuracy. Therefore, the Megger TRAX 280 Transformer & Substation Test System offers:

State-of-the-art winding resistance and tap-changer testing
100A DC test current for winding resistance measurements
250V AC voltage for turns ratio measurements
100A/ 50V compliance
Adaptive demagnetisation: enables fast and efficient demagnetisation of the transformer core
Patented technique for dynamic measurements on load tap-changers
Tap-changer control
DC resistance measurements with dual-ground capability
High-voltage ratio measurement (250V and 2200V output)
Patented individual temperature correction (ITC)
Patented automatic voltage dependence detection (VDD)
CT and VT testing
3-phase circuit-breaker analyser (main and resistor contacts)
Manual phase-angle meter
Manual ground/ earth impedance testing
Contact resistance
Line impedance/ K-factor
