Safety Work GuidelinesBefore using the transformer winding tester, please read this chapter carefully to familiarize yourself with important safety points and warnings.
Follow the instructions in this manual to use the tester; otherwise, the protection provided by the tester may be impaired.
In this manual:
[Warning] refers to situations or operations that pose a danger to the user or the acquisition instrument.
[Caution] refers to situations or operations that may cause damage to the tester or the transformer under test.
[Note] refers to situations or operations that may cause errors in test results.
To avoid personal injury and damage to the tester or transformer under test, follow these guidelines:
[Warning] The transformer core must be reliably grounded to the shell. The tester shell and measurement impedance shell must be reliably grounded to the transformer shell.
[Warning] Do not start the winding deformation test until the tester's "ground" connection is correctly made.
[Warning] Before testing, fully discharge the transformer terminals.
[Note] Before use, check the appearance of the tester, ensure the power switch is in the "Off" position, and all terminals are normal.
[Note] Winding deformation testing should be performed after disconnecting all transformer leads (including overhead lines, enclosed busbars, and cables), and keep these leads as far away from the transformer bushings as possible (surrounding grounded bodies and metal floating objects should be at least 20 cm away from the transformer bushings), especially for transformers connected to enclosed busbars.
[Note] During testing, correctly record the tap changer position. Place the tap changer of the transformer under test at the first tap if possible, especially for on-load tap-changing transformers, to obtain comprehensive winding information. For off-load tap-changing transformers, ensure each measurement is at the same tap position for comparison.
[Note] Ensure the wiring clamp of the measurement impedance is in tight contact with the bushing terminal. If there is conductive grease or rust on the bushing terminal, wipe it clean with sandpaper or a dry cotton cloth.
System IntroductionThe Transformer Winding Deformation Tester (Frequency Response Method) is used for testing power transformers of 6kV and above and other special-purpose transformers. Power transformers inevitably suffer various fault short-circuit currents or physical impacts during operation or transportation. Under the strong electromagnetic forces generated by short-circuit currents, transformer windings may lose stability, leading to local distortion, bulging, or displacement deformation, which seriously affects the safe operation of the transformer. According to the national power industry standard DL/T911-2004, the frequency response analysis method is used to measure transformer winding deformation. It detects the amplitude-frequency response characteristics of each transformer winding and performs longitudinal or horizontal comparison of the test results. Based on the degree of change in the amplitude-frequency response characteristics, it determines possible winding deformation.
The Transformer Winding Deformation Tester (Frequency Response Method) consists of a measurement part and analysis software. The measurement part is a black box that generates and measures signals, while the analysis part is completed by a laptop. The measurement part connects to the laptop via USB or network.

Acquisition Instrument USB Driver Installation
Driver Installation
After connecting the hardware circuit to the computer, if it is the first connection, the computer will prompt that new hardware is found. Insert the driver CD into the computer to install the driver. When the hardware circuit is first connected to the computer, the microcontroller on the board has no program yet; its default ID is: VID:0x04B4; PID:0x8613. Through this ID, the computer finds the wdgtldr.sys file, which contains the microcontroller program. It transfers the microcontroller program to the microcontroller on the acquisition card in a certain way and runs it. After that, the microcontroller has a new ID. Through this ID, the computer finds the ezusb.sys file, provided by Cypress, which supports USB data transfer. In the application software, data transfer and control are performed through it. Due to the use of online loading technology in the system design, new hardware may be found twice; follow the prompts to proceed.
