Several Technical Problems Prone to Occur in the Test of SFA Transformer

The measurement accuracy of the transformer is high, the measurement wiring is complex, and the fundamental frequency measurement of the power frequency is added. The environmental interference is very large. Therefore, each device is often qualified in the metrology bureau, and the data after the combination has a large difference.
The accuracy of the transformer calibrator is actually not the most important indicator of the instrument. In the transformer calibration procedure, the test error caused by the entire circuit should not exceed 20% of the level of the transformer to be tested. Actually, it is required to verify. The data displayed by the instrument in actual work must be authentic and authentic.
1. Selective frequency filter performance of transformer calibrator:
Transformer test is the measurement of the fundamental wave. Due to the error of the secondary current of the standard and the transformer under test, the second and third-order distortion of the current waveform is very large (up to 500%) and modulated by high-frequency interference. Therefore, the calibrator Must have good frequency-selective filtering performance, separate the fundamental wave, and make measurements.
The factors of distortion are very complex. In low-precision (less than 0.5 class) transformer tests without saturation core compensation, the distortion is usually about 10%, and the effect is not obvious. The national standard requires harmonic attenuation of the calibrator to be more than 32dB, enough. Satisfy use. However, this indicator is too low when testing high-precision or transformers with a saturated core.
The domestic test of the project does not measure, and the general manufacturers often do not give indicators. When users purchase new instruments, they should compare with 2700, HGE2 or HE15 old instruments to determine whether they are credible.
2. The introduction load of the calibrator and the matching with the standard transformer:
The additional load that the calibrator brings to the transformer under test, the load that the calibrator brings to the standard transformer, all have strict regulations in the national regulations, domestic measurement verification does not detect these indicators, and most manufacturers do not give indicators. However, they are one of the main reasons for the differences in the verification data of different organizations.
3, wire load:
When the load Z is manufactured, 0.06 ohms resistance is reserved for the connecting wire (individually has 0.05 ohms), so the sum of the three wire resistances A, B, and C in the figure is required to be 0.06 ohms. When the current transformer of the rated load (10VA) is small, the resistance of the wire has a great influence on the data.
4. The error point of the load point of the voltage transformer The load line and the voltage sampling line of the calibrator should be led out from the terminals of the transformer respectively. If one wire is shared, the test error will be introduced due to the voltage drop on the wire.
5, wiring is not standardized error:
With the development of testing technology, the instrument manufacturer has developed a new standard transformer. The new standard has many advantages. For example, a two-stage current transformer can overcome the problem of load matching between the standard transformer and calibrator. Units are still connected in the fifties, but there is a greater error.
6, ground line:
Because of the frequency measurement, space electromagnetic field and floating potential, it has a great influence on the measurement. In the test, the ground wire plays an important role. The ground wire must be properly grounded according to the regulations. It is still important that the test be performed in a level of 0.05 or higher, or in a high pressure.
It is recommended that when purchasing equipment, users should select a complete set of equipment factories with many years of industry-based, rather than a single-piece production plant, both of which have essential differences in the theory and experience of transformer testing. The correct choice, the first can ensure that all indicators of the instrument are attached to the requirements of the regulations, the second variety of wiring, instrument matching are designed and designed by the manufacturer, can avoid the use of errors, affect product quality.
