ATRT-03
The ATRT-03 can perform a specific test for each transformer type (such as single phase, delta to Y, Y to delta,
delta to delta, or Y to Y) without the need to switch test
hookup cables. Also, the units automatic transformer
phase detection feature can detect different transformer
vector diagrams. The ATRT-03 can automatically detect
and test 67 transformer types defined by ANSI, CEI/IEC
and Australian standards.
To prevent an accidental wrong test-lead hook-up (e.g.,
when the operator reverses H and X leads), the ATRT-03
outputs a low-level test voltage to verify the hook-up
condition before applying the full test voltage to the
transformer.
In addition to measuring a transformers turns-ratio, the
ATRT-03 can also measure a transformers excitation
current (in milli-amperes) and its winding phase angle.
Three test voltages (8 Vac, 40 Vac, 100 Vac) allow the
ATRT-03 to test CTs and PTs, as well as power transformers.
The ATRT-03 can also calculate the turns-ratio percentage error if the transformers nameplate voltages are
provided. The baseline turns-ratio is calculated using the
nameplate voltages, and the test results are compared
to the baseline turns-ratio. The percentage error is then
calculated from the difference between the baseline and
test turns-ratios.
User Interface
The ATRT-03 features a back-lit LCD screen (20
characters by 4 lines) that is viewable in both
bright sunlight and low-light levels. The test
results screen displays the transformer turnsratio, excitation current, and turns-ratio accuracy. The unit is controlled via a rugged, 16-key,

ATRT-03A S2
automatic, 3-phase transformer turns ratio tester
The ATRT-03A S2 is a battery-powered, microprocessor-based, automatic, threephase, transformer turns-ratio tester. The ATRT-03A S2 determines the transformer
turns-ratio using the IEEE C57.12.90 measurement method. The ATRT-03A S2 generates
and outputs an excitation test voltage to the transformers three primary windings. The
induced secondary voltage is sensed and the transformer turns ratio is calculated. The
ATRT-03A S2 can measure turns-ratios from 0.8 to 15,000. The transformer turns-ratio,
excitation current, and phase-angle readings are displayed on the units LCD screen.
The built-in transformer type detection feature allows the ATRT-03A S2 to detect and
test 130 transformer types defined by ANSI, CEI/IEC and Australian standards.
The ATRT-03A S2 generates excitation test voltages internally. Three test voltages (8 Vac, 40
Vac, 100 Vac) allow the ATRT-03A S2 to test
CTs and PTs, as well as power transformers.
The ATRT-03A S2 can store up to 128 transformer test-plans in its Flash EEPROM. A testplan is comprised of the transformer nameplate
voltages for each tap setting. The calculated
turns-ratio based on the nameplate voltages
is compared with the measured turns-ratio to
derive the percentage error and Pass/Fail results. By using a test plan, a transformer can be
quickly tested and turns-ratio Pass/Fail reports
can be reviewed. Test plans can be created with
the PC software and can be transferred to the
ATRT-03A S2 via the available interfaces (RS232C port, USB port, USB Flash drive port).

The EZCT-2000A is Vanguards third-generation microprocessor-based current
transformer test set. The EZCT-2000A can perform the current transformer
(CT) excitation test, measure the CT winding resistance and CT current-ratio
automatically. All of the EZCT-2000As test leads can be connected to the CT
output terminals (X1, X2, X3, X4 and X5), eliminating the need for lead switching
during testing. Test voltage output is automatically raised and lowered by the
EZCT-2000A without any operator intervention. With up to 2000 Vac excitation test voltage available, the EZCT-2000A can easily perform excitation tests
on very large CTs.
EZCT-2000A connections
Excitation Test
The CT excitation test is performed using the
ANSI/IEEE C57.13.1, IEC 60044-1 test method.
The test voltage range for the CT excitation
test (50 Vac, 300 Vac, 500 Vac, 1200 Vac or
2000 Vac) can be selected, and then the test
voltage is raised and lowered automatically by
the EZCT-2000A. The excitation test voltage
and current data is collected and stored in the
units internal memory. Any of the 10 possible
combinations of X1 to X5 can be tested since all
of the units test leads can be connected to all of
the CT output terminals at the same time. Up to
10 excitation tests can be stored in one record.
Once the test is completed, test results can be
printed and excitation curves can be plotted on
the built-in 4.5-inch wide thermal printer.

AUTO-OHM 200 S3
true DC micro-ohmmeter
With the Dual Ground option, the AutoOhm-200 S3 can also measure the circuit
breaker contact resistance with both sides of
the breaker bushing being grounded. When a
test current is applied to a circuit breaker with
both sides grounded, some of the test current
flows through the safety ground cables. Using
an external current sensor, the Auto-Ohm-200
S3 measures and eliminates this current from
the total test current. The Auto-Ohm then calculates the actual resistance value of the circuit
breaker.
User Interface
The Auto-Ohm-200 S3 features a back-lit (128
x 64 pixels) LCD screen that is viewable in both
direct sunlight and low-light levels. The resistance readings are displayed on the LCD screen
in micro-ohms or milliohms. The unit is operated
via a convenient 44-key QWERTY keypad on
the front panel.

TRM-20/TRM-40
transformer resistance meters
The TRM-20 and TRM-40 are Vanguard Instruments third generation transformer
winding resistance meters. The TRM line is designed specifically to measure DC
resistance values of transformer windings, rotating machine windings, or any dc
resistance of an inductive device.
The TRM line features dual resistance-reading input channels that can measure two
winding resistances simultaneously (primary and secondary windings of a transformer).
Both the TRM-20 and TRM-40 can provide a fast and stable reading of very large
transformers by utilizing a 60Vdc power supply. The TRM-20 is capable of outputting a selectable test current from 1A to 20A while the TRM-40s test current is
selectable from 1A to 40A.
Since the TRM-20 and TRM-40 can accurately measure
resistance values from 1 micro-ohm to 500 Ohms (up
to 2,000 Ohms for the TRM-20), they can be used as
micro-ohm meters to measure EHV circuit breaker contact resistance, or for any low resistance measuring application.
If the transformer winding resistance temperature is
available at the time of testing, the TRM can calculate
the equivalent resistance value at any temperature
value. This useful feature allows the user to compare the
field readings against the factory test resistance values.
A special test mode allows the TRM to collect data automatically for up to 90 minutes (at 60-second sampling
interval) or 45 minutes (at 30 second sampling interval).
Test data is recorded with a time stamp.
All test results can be printed on a 2.5 wide thermal
printer. Test record header information including the
company, substation name, transformer information can
also be entered using the 16-key key pad.
The TRM-20 and TRM-40 can automatically demagnetize the inductive device under test, eliminating the
manual task of demagnetizing the transformer core after
a resistance test.
The TRM can also be computer-controlled via the unit's
RS-232C, USB, or Bluetooth interface.

selectable from 1A to 40A.
Since both units can accurately measure resistance from 1 micro-ohm to 500 Ohms
(up to 2000 Ohms for the TRM-203), they can be used as micro-ohm meters to
measure EHV circuit breaker contact resistance, or for any low resistance measuring application.

bushing current breaker-make as detected by a AC clamp-on current sensing probes. Trip/Close current waveforms are also captured by an external clamp-on DC current probe.
The on-line timing mode can detect a breakers operating conditions with little or
no down time. In this mode, the first trip operation time of the breaker is captured.
If a breaker has been in service for a long period of time and sitting in close position,
the first trip time of the breaker may be slow possibly due to a sticky mechanism. The
on-line mode is very useful in such cases because traditional breaker timing may not
detect this condition since several operations may have occurred before the first timing test is conducted.
With the optional dual ground testing mode, the CT-7000 S3 can
measure a CB contact time with ground being applied to both sides
of the bushings. The clamp-on probe is connected to one side of
the CB safety ground straps, and an AC signal is coupled to this
strap. A sensor on the probe will detect a change in the induced AC
signal when the CB contact is opened or closed.

tests on circuit breaker contacts.
Three dedicated digital travel transducer channels are available on the CT-8000 S3 for measuring circuit-breaker contact stroke, velocity,
over-travel, and bounce back. With the use of
the Vanguard digital travel transducers, neither
calibration nor setting is required. Circuit breaker
contact velocity is calculated based on contacts
travel distance over a period of time. Special formulas to calculate velocity is also accommodated
by the CT-8000 S3. Special feature is also available to Slow-Close test the circuit breaker and
obtain a test result report.
A built-in solid-state initiate device is used to operate a breaker from the CT-8000 S3. Operational
modes include OPEN, CLOSE, OPEN-CLOSE,
CLOSE-OPEN, and OPEN-CLOSE-OPEN. Multiple
operation like OPEN-CLOSE, CLOSE-OPEN, and

UPS
S2
portable AC/DC power supply
The Vanguard Universal Power Supply S2 (UPS S2) is designed to meet a utility companys
substation needs for an independent AC/DC power source for operating circuit breakers. The
UPS S2s AC and DC voltage sources can each supply up to 10 amperes during circuit breaker coil
energization and circuit breaker charging motor operation.
The variable DC power supply (10 300 Vdc) is ideal for use as a substitute primary power
source when substation batteries are not available. The UPS S2 is best suited for operating
circuit-breakers, powering substation relays, or for un-regulated charging of substation batteries. The AC power supply is a variable isolated power source (10 240 Vac) that can be used to
power other equipment in the substation.
The Universal Power Supply S2 delivers several important features:
All output power sources are isolated from the primary power input by an isolation transformer.
Voltage outputs are variable (auto-transformer) via a front panel control knob.
The primary power input is selectable (120Vac or 240Vac).
For ease of operation, the power output path is clearly outlined on the control panel. This provides an intuitive visual guide for making the appropriate selections for a particular operating
configuration.
The Universal Power Supply S2 is housed in a heavy-duty, impact-resistant plastic enclosure
and is furnished with a power cord, grounding cable, and a pair of test leads with alligator clips.

AC Voltage Source
Ampere Meters
An AC voltage source is available for testing relays up to 250 Vac. The AC voltage source output can be programmed to synchronize with the
RFD 200 S3s timer.
The test current is displayed on the units backlit LCD screen that is viewable in both bright
sunlight and low-light levels. The current measuring range is from 0.00 to 250 A. A second
ampere meter is also available and can be used
to read an external current input. The external
current input is rated at 6 A max and is protected by a circuit-breaker.
DC Voltage Source
A 0 300 Vdc voltage source is also available.
The DC voltage source can also be programmed
to synchronize with the RFD-200 S3s timer.
Volt Meter
One volt meter input (0 to 600 V input range) is
available on the RFD-200 S3.

Built-in Timer
Current Source
The PCI-600s built-in timer can test the timedelay characteristics of protection relays and
molded-case circuit-breakers. Once the test
is initiated, the current source and the timer
are automatically turned on at the next zerocrossing point of the AC. The timer stops when
the PCI-600 input detects a change in the dry
contact or voltage input, or detects the removal
of the test current. The test results are then
displayed in milli-seconds and fractions of a
cycle(s) on the units back-lit LCD screen (20
characters by 4 lines).
