The AEMC Instruments 8510 is a digital transformer turns ratiometer (DTR) that is designed for on-site testing of power, potential, and current transformers. It is a lightweight, rugged, and portable instrument that is easy to use.
The 8510 is fully automatic and uses an ANSI/IEEE compliant test method. No user calibration, range selection, hand cranking, or tedious balancing is required. At each measurement, the 8510 automatically self-calibrates and checks for open windings/connections/circuit breakers, short circuits (excess excitation current), incorrect test lead placement, and reverse polarity. Measurements are displayed quickly and accurately.
The 8510 is a valuable tool for electrical engineers and technicians who need to ensure the accuracy and reliability of transformer turns ratios. It is used in a variety of industries, including power generation, transmission, and distribution; oil and gas; and manufacturing.
Here are some of the benefits of using the AEMC Instruments Model 8510:
- Increased safety: The 8510 uses a low-voltage, step-down measurement technique, which is safer than traditional methods.
- Improved efficiency: The 8510 is fully automatic and easy to use, which can save time and reduce the risk of human error.
- Enhanced accuracy: The 8510 uses an ANSI/IEEE compliant test method and automatically self-calibrates, which ensures accurate results.
- Reduced downtime: The 8510 can help to identify and resolve transformer problems early on, before they cause equipment failure.
Overall, the AEMC Instruments 8510 is a valuable tool for electrical engineers and technicians who need to ensure the accuracy and reliability of transformer turns ratios.
