    Transformer Winding Resistance Tester ETP System: Transformers Test

    Introduction
    UM3B is a low resistance ohmmeter specially designed for transformer winding resistance measurement. However, this equipment is also suitable to measure rotating machines windings resistance. Power transformer windings resistance measurement presents special problems to save. These problems are: Transformer windings inductance charging and core saturation. The actual measurement of the windings resistance The safe dissipation of the energy stored in the transformer after test. are comparative in time (Repeatability of measurements) and time test shorter. Once the measurement is completed, the energy stored in core and windings of tested transformer must be dissipated in a safe manner to avoid substantial arks with or without adverse consequences. UM3B makes it in an automatically way too. It is in the measurement of threephase transformer windings, where full power of the equipment is shown, since with only one connection, the instrument provides simple and compound resistance value for each winding: both high and low voltage and tertiary. Furthermore, to calculate the results, the system takes into account the transformer connection group, and the temperature at which the test is carried out, as such results are provided at the

    In order to stabilize windings resistance measure we need to charge the winding inductance and gets core saturation. Only in these conditions we will obtain the test current required for the test. UM3B makes it automatically assuring that all made tests

    reference temperature specified by the operator. UM3B equipment allows us to do the following measurements automatically: Automatic windings resistance on the three phases. Temperature corrected resistance values. Calculations of individual and compound resistance values.

    UM3B is a based microcontroller unit controlled by a portable PC connected through one RS-232 line. The power software installed in the portable PC is an useful guide through the measurements process and also offer an easy to use tool for predictive maintenance and diagnostic. The based Windows software allows us to introduce the transformer characteristics and make an automatic and guided test. All the tests will be automatically stored into the PC hard disk, organized by machine identification characteristics (for example serial number).

    This System has been developed in close collaboration with users and experts in transformers measurement and maintenance of Iberdrola Company, a major European utility.

    Application
    To ensure the proper operation of power transformers we must to check periodically that insulation between turns and electrical/mechanical properties are the expected ones. Due to used current is far from nominal one, the UM3B test is totally nondestructive for the machine. With windings resistance measurement it is possible to detect problems in transformers like: Pressure lost in connections Damages in the regulator Short-circuit turns Winding hot points Measurements Repeatability. This guarantees that readings performed over a period of time have been obtained in the same way and with the same degree of accuracy and tolerances. This allows studying the evolution of such measurements. Automatic and organized results storage. This greatly simplifies the handling of the large amount of information obtained. Updateable system . The system has been developed such that whatever new software development might arise, may be implemented with the same hardware elements. Key parameters acquisition. The system automatically calculates a list of parameters and graphics for machine status diagnosis. Non-destructive testing. If handled properly, there is no risk of damage to the insulation during testing.

    Some problems can be corroborated with other ETP Systems measurements. UM3B test has several advantages and meets the following requirements: Automatic measuring system . For the prevention of errors due to acquisition, handling and correction times resulting from the environmental and machine conditions at the time of measuring.

    UM3B:Testing Procedure
    The control software has two different options: test performance and result analysis. The first one is very easy tool for the operator because allows to make a guided test after the operator introduce the basic transformer characteristics. The analysis block is a very useful option for expert that must to analyse all stored data from a tested machine.

    Main Screen. Transformer Winding Resistance Meter Software. Test Processes Following the steps proposed by the software it is possible to make a complete test. Software guides the operator about connections, precautions that must to take and the actual measuring state, being very interactive. Every step has a new screen with simple and useful information for the operator.

    In order to initiate the test, the operator should introduce the basic parameters to identify the transformer under test. This machine technical data information only has to be introduced in the first made test, following tests recover these data and create automatically an organized historical tests database. In the next figures every step window appear:

    In the test option the basic screen is the measurement window. The software will automatically store the numeric data and the current signal into a file that will be loaded from the analysis option. Resistance meters are very useful for operator in order to detect possible windings problems.

    Analysis Processes These processes load the results file of every test stored by test software and all data are presented in several screens. Three different fields can make the search: plate number, manufacturer and kind of machine. Maintenance responsible uses these data to diagnostic the machine state. Finally, it is possible to print all data in a nice report format. The clear presentation of these reports makes interpretation of results straightforward and facilitates predictive maintenance techniques. When the machine has got several taps, software also presents a graph with all winding resistance, which is a very useful diagnostic tool.

Once disassembled the regulator a defect of the same one is observed. With the repaired and mounted regulator is carried out a second UM3B rehearsal, being observed that the problem has disappeared. Next figures illustrate the process:

    In the first UM3B test, a variation is detected in the resistance measure at 5 tap C phase. In the report generated when concluding the test a revision of the
