Turns Ratio Meter

The great advantage of the PWR3A compared to many of the other

instruments on the market is its simple set-up.
In most cases the required parameters must be looked up in
tables on the basis of the vector group and the code number
of the transformer to be measured, and set up at the instru-
ment by means of rotary switches or keys. This often results
in a wrong set-up or uncertainty regarding the set-up since
some of the tables are confusing.
Such a manual set-up is not necessary with the PWR3A
transformation ratio measuring instrument. You simply
type in the vector group with the keys.
The only thing you have to do is to connect the transformer
being off-line to the device and release the measurement; all
three phases are measured consecutively, all connecting and
short circuited procedures at the primary and secondary volt-
age sides are performed automatically before each measure-
ment. Of course it is also possible to measure just one phase, former. A 3-phase line voltage is used for this purpose.
