Model ADTR-2k
Fully Automatic Dielectric Constant, Tan Delta & Resistivity Test Set
 
Description


The ADTR-2k is a versatile test set used for measuring the Dielectric Constant (ε), Tan Delta (Dissipation Factor), Power loss, Resistance & Resistivity of transformer oils, other electrical insulating liquids and solid insulating materials in sheet form. The ADTR-2k is only the measuring instrument – in order to test insulating liquids, it should be used with a three-terminal oil test cell. A heater is required when testing oil at temperatures specified in international or national standards. A suitable solid dielectric test cell is required for testing insulation in sheet form.

When excited with an AC source, the ADTR-2k measures the Voltage, Capacitance, Dielectric Loss and Frequency. To determine the Dielectric Constant (ε) , the measurements are carried on an empty and a full test cell. The parameters of the test cell can also be entered manually, using the keypad.

The operating procedure is menu driven & simple. The AC & DC test voltages are set using the front panel keypad. Tests can be programmed for the AC test, between 200 and 2,400 volts. The DC test can be programmed between 100 and 1,000 volts.

After initial set-up, the oil test cell has to be filled with the sample oil and the test procedure initiated. The ADTR-2k performs all the selected measurements automatically and the results are then displayed on the front panel. The test results can be transferred to a PC using the RS-232 interface, printed out using the Centronix parallel port, or stored in a non-volatile memory. The tests can also be repeated.
