INTRODUCTION

1.1 Receipt of product

Prior to operation, check for loosened hardware or
damage incurred during transit. If these conditions are
found, a safety hazard is likely, DO NOT attempt to operate
equipment. Please contact Megger as soon as possible.

1.2 Product overview

The TRS1® is a unit designed to be used with ratio meters
as a high accuracy reference ratio standard. This unique
standard is able to provide ratios in both step down
(traditional ratio test instruments) and step up (Biddle
Hand Crank TTR) test modes. The standard is designed for
use as a laboratory calibration standard, or as a portable
check standard for field ratio and phase verification of any
ratio instruments.

SAFETY

1.1 Responsible User

Only qualified and trained operators should operate the
TRS1. Operator must read and understand this entire
Instruction Manual prior to operating the equipment.
Operator must follow the instructions of this Instruction
Manual and attend the equipment while the equipment
is in use. In the event of equipment malfunction, the unit
should immediately be de-energized and returned to
Megger for repair. The Safety precautions herein are not
intended to replace your Company’s Safety Procedures.
Refer to IEEE 510 - 1983, IEEE Recommended Practices
for Safety in High- Voltage and High-Power Testing, for
additional information

1.2 Symbols

Caution, possibility of electric shock

1.3 General Precautions

The TRS1 and the ratio meter should both
be considered sources of instantaneously
lethal levels of electrical energy.

Observe the following safety precautions:

n Observe all safety warnings on the equipment.

They identify areas of immediate hazard that
could result in injury or death.

n Use this equipment only for the purposes

described in this manual. Observe strictly the
Warning and Caution information provided in
this manual

n Treat all terminals of the TRS1 and high-

voltage power equipment systems as potential
electric shock hazards. Use all practical safety
precautions to prevent contact with energized
parts of the equipment and related circuits.

n Use suitable barriers, barricades, or warnings to

keep persons not directly involved with the work
away from test activities.

n Never connect the test equipment to energized

equipment.

n Do not use in an explosive atmosphere.

n Use the grounding and connection procedures

recommended in the ratio meter manual. The
ground connection must be the first made
and the last removed. Any interruption of the
grounding connection can create an electrical
shock hazard.

n Personnel using heart pacemakers should obtain

expert advice on the possible risks before
operating this equipment or being close to the
equipment during operation

PREPARING
FOR TEST

4.1 Site Preparation

Choose a location that meets the following conditions:

N The location is as dry as possible

N There is no flammable material stored in the

vicinity

N The test area is adequately ventilated

N The test area is flat surface

N Be sure all equipment is de-energized. Erect

suitable safety barriers to protect the operator
from traffic hazards and to prevent intrusion by
unauthorized personnel. User provided Warning
lights are recommended

N Verify that the Local station ground is intact and

has impedance continuity to earth

4.2 Connecting to TRS1

See Appendix for instrument specific connections

Connections should be made in the order listed below:

1. Turn off the ratio meter intended to measure the TRS1

2. Disconnect leads from the ratio meter

3. Place the TRS1 in an upright position on a flat surface
and open the lid

4. Connect leads to TRS1

5. Connect H1 (or equivalent) to TRS1 H

6. Connect H2 (or equivalent) to TRS1 H

7. Connect X1 (or equivalent) to TRS1 X

8. Connect X2 (or equivalent) to TRS1 X

9. Connect the leads to the ratio meter

For Kelvin leads, connect potential to P and Current
to C. For non-Kelvin leads, connect clamp across both
terminals.

6.2 Maintenance

Maintenance should be performed only by qualified
persons familiar with the hazards involved with
highvoltage test equipment. Read and understand Sections
1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 before performing any service.

6.3 Calibration

A complete performance and calibration check should be
made at least once every year. This will ensure that the
TRS1 is functioning properly over the entire measurement
range. The TRS1 calibration is performed on each new or
repaired unit before sending it to a customer.

6.4 Repairs

Any service or repair of this equipment should be
performed only by qualified persons who are aware of
electrical hazards and the necessary precautions required
to prevent injury.
