MRCT
DESCRIPTION
The Megger MRCT is a light weight, robust, portable unit
used to perform demagnetization, ratio, saturation, winding
resistance, polarity, phase deviation, and insulation tests on
current transformers. The MRCT automatically calculates ratio
errors, saturation curves, and knee points. The MRCT provides a
microprocessor-controlled variable voltage and current output and
precision instrumentation for automatically testing single and multi
ratio CTs, reducing testing time and increasing productivity. The
MRCT will directly connect to multi ratio CTs and perform all tests
saturation, ratio and polarity, winding resistance and insulation on
all taps with the push of a button and without changing leads.
The MRCT can be controlled
via Meggers Smart Touch
View Interface (STVI)
controller. The STVI controller
is a full color, high resolution,
LCD touch screen which
allows the user to perform
manual and automatic testing
quickly and easily using the
manual test screen, as well
as using pre-constructed
test routines. The large color
display permits the user to easily read all pertinent data while the
test is being performed and provides the ability to view the current
transformers saturation curve. The unit can also be configured to
come without a Megger STVI and can be controlled via a laptop
with Meggers PowerDB software.

APPLICATIONS
Saturation Test
With the single push
of a button, the
MRCT performs a
CT saturation test
and calculates the
rated knee point. The
saturation test can be
performed at frequency
of 50 or 60 Hz up to
2,000 volts as required
by IEC regulations.
In addition the MRCT can be configured to test kneepoints up to
30 kV using an alternative DC technique. This allows testing the
majority of CTs using line frequency while still being able to test
larger generation class CT with a portable instrument.
The MRCT will calculate the rated knee point in compliance with
either IEEE C57.13.1, IEC 60044-1, IEC 60044-6 or IEC 61869
on both standards as well as of specialized CTs such as PX, TPS,
TPX, TPY and TPZ. While the saturation test is being performed,
the MCRT will plot the CT saturation curve on the STVI display
and automatically provide the user with the rated knee point per
the desired IEEE or IEC standard. Many substations CTs include a
multi-ratio secondary; therefore the MRCT has the ability to plot and
simultaneously display up to 10 CT saturation curves.
MRCT
Megger Relay and Current Transformer Test Set
Ratio, Polarity Test
Ratio testing can be performed by using the MRCT. The method
used by the MRCT compares a voltage applied to the secondary
winding to the resulting voltage produced on the primary winding.
For example, if 1 volt per turn is applied to the secondary winding,
the voltage present on the primary winding would be 1 volt. More
specifically, if 120 volts were applied to the secondary of a 600:5
current transformer (120:1 ratio), 1 volt would be present on the
primary winding.
Winding Resistance Test
Measures CT winding resistance with the injection of a test
voltage, measuring the DC current and calculating temperature
compensated resistance.
Demagnetization
Normal operating conditions and typical winding resistance
measurements can cause a CT to become magnetized. The MRCT
has the ability to automatically demagnetize the CT under test. This
automatic demagnetization routine is useful to ensure that the CT
saturation test yield correct results. Prior to testing demagnetization
is recommended per both ANSI and IEC standards.
CT Burden
The MRCT measures the connected CT burden load with direct
injection of secondary current to a load that is disconnected from
the CT. The MRCT measures the secondary voltage in magnitude
and angle of the connected burden in VA and power factor.
The MRCT will also automatically switch the test leads to perform all
required insulation test. These test include H-L, H-G, L-G.
Upgradeability
The MRCT includes the ability to upgrade testing capability. With
various configurations and accessories the MRCT system can be
upgraded as new testing needs are developed.
