Computer Interface
The ATRT-01 S2, ATRT-01B S2 and the ATRT-01D S2 can be used with a PC via
the RS-232C interface. Windows®XP/Vista-based software is provided with each
unit and can be used to test transformers and to store the test results on the computer. The test results can be retrieved later, in the office for example, for analysis
and for printing on an office printer. The test results can also be exported in text
or Microsoft
applications.
The included PC software can also be used to create test plans for specific transformers. A test plan is comprised of the transformer nameplate voltages for each
tap setting. Computed turns-ratio is based on the nameplate voltages which can be
compared to the measured ratio to derive percentage error.

Three Models Deliver Maximum Flexibility
The ATRT-01 S2 is Vanguard’s third-generation micro-processor-based, single-phase,
automatic, transformer-turns-ratio tester. This portable test equipment is offered in
three models: the ATRT-01 S2, ATRT-01B S2, and ATRT-01D S2. The ATRT-01 S2 is
ac-line powered; the ATRT-01B S2 is ac-line or rechargeable-battery powered, and
the ATRT-01D S2 is powered by six D-cells.
The ATRT-01 S2 determines the transformer turns-ratio using the IEEE C57.12.90
measurement method. The transformer turns-ratio is determined by precisely
measuring the voltages across the unloaded transformer windings. The ATRT-01
S2’s measuring circuitry self calibrates before each measurement to ensure turnsratio accuracy.
The ATRT-01 S2 measures turns-ratios ranging from 0.800 to 15,000 and can be
used to test voltage regulators, power transformers, current transformers (CT),
and Potential Transformers (PT). The ATRT-01 S2 also measures and displays
transformer-winding excitation current, and winding polarity. Test results are displayed on a back-lit LCD screen (4 lines by 20 characters).
In addition to measuring a transformer’s turns-ratio, nameplate voltages can also
be entered via the keypad, and the ATRT-01 S2 will then display the turns-ratio error
as a percentage. This convenient feature eliminates any user-calculation error when
testing transformers.
Battery Power for Exceptional Portability
The ATRT-01B S2 is powered by a 6-Volt, 7 Ampere-hour, lead-acid battery. The high
capacity battery, coupled with the ATRT-01B S2’s low power consuming circuitry,
allows the unit to be used continuously for up to 6 hours between re-charges. A
built-in charger lets the unit be used while the battery is being charged.
The ATRT-01D S2 uses 6 D-cell batteries. Up to 250 tests can be performed with one
set of D-cell batteries.

If a 3-phase transformer is being tested, the ATRT-01 S2 will also provide connection
information (H and X test probes to transformer bushings) for phases A, B, and C
tests. Three-phase test results (turns-ratio, excitation current, winding polarity, and
percentage error) are displayed on the LCD screen at the end of each test.

Reliability Through Instrumentation
RVFeb10
Vanguard Instruments Company, Inc.
Vanguard Instruments Co., (VIC), was founded in 1991. Currently,
our 28,000 square-foot facility houses Administration, Design &
Engineering, and Manufacturing operations. From its inception,
VIC’s vision was, and is to develop and manufacture innovative test
equipment for use in testing substation EHV circuit breakers and
other electrical apparatus.
The first VIC product was a computerized circuit-breaker analyzer,
which was a resounding success. It became the forerunner of an
entire series of circuit-breaker test equipment. Since its beginning,
VIC’s product line has expanded to include microcomputer-based,
precision micro-ohmmeters, single and three-phase transformer
winding turns-ratio testers, winding-resistance meters, transformer
tap-changing controllers, megaohm resistance meters, and a
variety of other electrical utility maintenance support products.
VIC’s performance-oriented products are well suited for the utility
industry. They are rugged, reliable, accurate, user friendly, and
most are computer controlled. Computer control, with innovative
programming, provides many automated testing functions. VIC’s
instruments eliminate tedious and time-consuming operations,
while providing fast, complex, test-result calculations. Errors are
reduced and the need to memorize long sequences of procedural
steps is eliminated. Every VIC instrument is competitively priced
and is covered by a liberal warranty.
