Primary the  application "Frequency Response Analysis" must be selected and project must be selected.

 

general

The now described software-package is not generally a part of the delivered (usual) WinTRAS-software. It can be ordered for demo-usuage or if needed at the manufacturer or one of its representatives.

With help of "frequency response analysis" you are able to determine the frequency-dependent conductance of test-object. This analysis should determine differences in electrical properties of the test-object before deliver, after transport or something else.


1          Frequency Response Analysis System

1.1        Analysis System TR-AS 25-12, portable PC with digital recorder

           

 

The portable PC housing includes a digital recorder with 2 measuring channels TR-AS 25-12 with up to 25 MS/s sampling rate at 12 Bit resolution and a maximum input voltage of 10 Volt. The measuring system is designed for low voltage impulse measurements, there is no special shielding for H.V. Test Applications.

1.1.1        Remark: Not applicable for High-Voltage Tests.

 

1.2        Connection Unit

        

The connection unit comprises

Ø       a STEP impulse generator RIG 1000 with inbuilt h.v. loading circuit for exciting the test object

Ø       a connection unit FRA-CON for easy 2-pole connection of the test object

Ø       an impulse measuring shunt of 1 Ohm for current measurements

Ø       an active voltage divider TEIL 160-A for measurement of the applied voltage

Ø       an external active voltage divider TEIL 160-A for measurement of the adtransmitted voltage

frequency response analysis (FRA) - menu bar

If application "frequency response analysis" is chosen, the menu-bar will occur automatically. This is the standard menu-bar with a additional button called "FRA.

 

 

TF = transfer function results of the source channels

Logo, Button

definition

start the FRA test sequence

copy the TF measure channel 15 and 17 to compare channel 11 and 19

copy the TF measure channel 15 and 17 to compare channel 12 and 20

copy the TF measure channel 15 and 17 to compare channel 13 and 21

compare 3 phases

calculate the 50 Hz (60Hz) admittance / impedance

 

 

setup frequency response analysis

If you want to change the settings of the frequency response analysis, 
you must “right-click” with mouse on the “FRA”-button from menubar.


The following tables describes all possible options to change

test - sequence

The frequency response analysis must be used with the connection unit ( rectangular impulse-generator RIG)  to analyze the test-object (in normal case a transformer).

As default test setup we have create:

 FRA2-5  => sampling rate 2,5MS/s

FRA6-25 => sampling rate 6,25MS/s

Typically the customer test the following bushings.  

 Pos. voltage impulse current answer test setup
high voltage
1 1W 1N FRA2-5 
2 1V 1N FRA2-5
3 1U 1N FRA2-5
low voltage
4 2W 2N FRA2-5
5 2V 2N FRA2-5
6 2U 2N FRA2-5

7 1W 2W FRA2-5
8 1V 2V FRA2-5
9 1U 2U FRA2-5

for a better result the system makes typically 16  (16=24 =>+4 Bit => the result signal has 16 Bits resolution) records and add each record. Wit this method we decrease the noise level of the signal. The average method delete the statistic noise. The result we copy to the virtual channels 5 and 6. Our experience shows that facto 16 is enough.

If you select now the OK button the TR-AS makes a first control record. Is this impulse ok the system makes automatically 16 records and generates the virtual channels 5 and 6. From this both channels we calculate the admittance  or the impedance depends on capture setup frequency analyze response parameters.
