A practical guide to Earth Resistance Testing
Application Guides

Nothing is quite so common or abundantly available throughout the world as the earth’s soil. We are more apt to think of earth as something to be tilled for planting or to be excavated for a building foundation. Yet, it also has an electrical property -- conductivity (or low resistance) -- that is put to practical use every day in industrial plants and utilities.

A Guide To Diagnostic Insulation Testing Above 1 kV
Application Guides

Why a 10 kV Insulation Tester?

Megger invented insulation testing before the beginning of the 20th century and has continued to lead the market in innovation and technological advancement. So, why did we develop a 10 kV model when all other suppliers stopped at 5 kV? The answer is in the IEEE standards. Megger developed a 10 kV unit to meet the new testing recommendations outlined by the IEEE. Megger has offered a 10 kV insulation resistance tester since 2001.

A Guide to Transformer Winding Resistance Measurements
Transformers

Abstract:

Measuring a transformer's winding (DC) resistance from one external terminal to another can reveal a great deal of information about the transformer. In addition to the obvious faulted winding (i.e., an open winding), more subtle problems can be detected. The DC current, in addition to flowing through the winding, must also flow through the off-load ratio adjusting switch (De-Energized Tap Changer or DETC) and the on-load ratio adjusting switch (Load Tap Changer or LTC), as well as numerous welded and mechanical connections. Hence, the integrity of all these components can be verified.

Authors note: Specific aspects of safety are addressed herein; however comprehensive procedures are not detailed. It is assumed the operator has sufficient knowledge of electrical theory and safe working practices to use the test instrument in a safe and responsible manner.

Battery Impedance Testing . . .
Batteries

A Practical Technique FOR Battery Condition Assessment and Capacity Monitoring.

ABSTRACT:

The management of the condition assessment of standby lead acid battery systems using impedance methods is now a highly regarded and mature technology delivering an accepted compliment to load discharge methods. Offering the significant attributes of being a non-invasive diagnostic method implemented at modest per-cell costs to in-service battery systems, impedance testing may be applied both to absolute or trended ( CBM ) condition assessment philosophies. Given the often sudden nature of battery failure mechanisms, the success of failure prediction is proportional to sampling intervals. Studies have expanded the scope of impedance technology to the determination of deterioration in battery capacity.

Timely Detection and Emergency Management of Transformer Main Tank Issues
Transformers

Often just viewed as a form of ‘insurance’, an appropriate on-line monitor can not only provide a timely detection of main tank issues but also provide, arguably, an even more signifi cant contribution in the subsequent management of the event with the transformer remaining energised throughout.
