DESCRIPTION

Test capability

TRAX is a multi-function test system for transformer substation
testing. The test system replaces numerous individual testing devices
which makes testing with TRAX a time saving and cost effective alternative to conventional measurements using separate instruments.

„„Winding

TRAX is a unique test system for testing power, distribution and
instrument transformers, as well as a variety of other substation
components. Providing up to 800 A (TRAX 279/280) and 2200 V
(2000 A and 12 kV with accessories) with a frequency range adjustable from 5 Hz (1 Hz with tan delta unit) to 500 Hz, TRAX can be
used with an integrated touch screen or external computer device
with web browser.
Variable levels of voltage and current can be generated and measured with high precision, allowing TRAX to be used for a wide range
of applications such as turns ratio, excitation current, winding and
contact resistance, impedance, tan delta/power factor testing and
various primary tests for LV, MV and HV electrical apparatus including but not limited to:

TRAX is designed to be a complete solution in transformer testing.
With its 4800 VA power capability it is a high efficiency, high accuracy and excellent performance transformer test system.

V transformer turns ratio measurements

kV dissipation factor and capacitance testing features

The user interface allows fully manual control where the user defines a specific test setup. Alternatively, a variety of individual instruments/apps are available to perform automated testing procedures
such as winding resistance, turns ratio, impedance measurements,
relay testing, circuit breaker analysis and more. The tests can be
organized and reported as separate tests or as a combined full set of
test results for the same asset.
The compact, light-weight design, only 26 kg (TRAX 220), allows
shipment in its transportation case within the limits of check-in luggage (32 kg)

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

USER INTERFACE

„„One

TRAX user interface architecture is based on a number of individual
instruments/apps where only the necessary functionality is displayed
by default. For manual testing a generic instrument is available
where the user selects output, measurement inputs and how the
data should be processed.

Derating at lower mains voltage
TRAX specification is valid at 230-240 V mains voltage. Output
power is decreased at lower mains voltages.
Derating at high ambient temperature
TRAX specification is valid at 23 ±5°C. Max output current times
will be reduced when using TRAX in high ambient temperature.
Derating at lower frequencies
TRAX voltage output specification is at 50 Hz. Maximum voltage
output at lower frequencies is limited by the transformer. Derating
is linear with frequency and max voltage output at 5 Hz is 10% of
rated output.
