Ensure high quality and efficiency during the whole life cycle of your

Acting as the link between the primary and secondary system, instrument
transformers (IT) are essential for a reliable and safe energy supply.
IT testing is of great importance as it helps to; ensure high quality in the
production process, accurately install and commission the devices, and operate
them within the specifications.
In order to make the production process more efficient and to ensure good IT
quality and performance, measurements should be performed during the whole
life cycle of the devices.

Typical IT failure sources


> Design faults
Related to ratio, magnetic core, insulation

> Manufacturing faults


Open/short circuits, insulation faults
Capacitive voltage transformer

> Operation outside of specifications


Over/underburden, wrong currents/voltages
Voltage transformer
Current transformer

> Electrical influences


Switching surges, lightning, overvoltages,
short circuit currents

> Aging/corrosion
Moisture, acids, oxygen, contamination,
leakages
