Depending on the object type MIKO-group instruments

propose special test modes. For example, there are 3
modes for the resistive object:

This mode involves measuring of instantaneous current
The instrument can be used for demagnetization of both drops. Test current firstly passes through the transformer
single-phase and three-phase transformers. Magnetic winding and then through OLTC contacts at changing
core demagnetization requires alternating current from one tap to another. The DRM graph is built on the
applied to the corresponding winding bidirectionally. basis of the measurement results and shows current
change during tap changing. This graph enables to check
tap changing time and general object state.

Analysis of the acquired graphs enables not only to sort

out OLTC by fault-free/faulty criteria, but also to define
the nature of the defect eliminating opening of fault-free
OLTCs. Milliohmmeter mode and DRM test complement
each other and provide the User comprehensive informa-
tion about the transformer state.

Demagnetization result panel

Demagnetization is performed automatically. Current

decreases with each direction change. Each rod of a
three-phase transformer is subjected to demagnetizntion.

Current change is displayed at the same time in

a graph form to control demagnetization accuracy.
Demagnetization stops automatically when the current
reaches threshold value or upon the User’s command.

The test is performed by continuous measurement

the measurement start. Heat run test stops automatically
on expiry of preset test duration or manually by the User.
