LMG600 Series Application: Transformers

Testing of Power Transformers with the LMG671 – Precision Measurement Technology for Type and Acceptance Tests

The efficiency of power transformers is a key factor in reducing energy losses within the power distribution network, not to mention the increasing regulatory pressure from energy-consuming facilities such as data centers. Inefficiencies in power transmission result in financial losses and elevated greenhouse gas emissions, both of which must be avoided. As part of type and acceptance testing, power transformers are both specified with respect to their essential electrical parameters and subsequently tested and certified for compliance with these and other regulatory requirements. High efficiency and full conformity are the ultimate objectives. To achieve this, all relevant electrical performance parameters must be measured and analyzed with the highest precision. In addition, manufacturers are increasingly required to perform special tests tailored to advanced and application-specific requirements.
