Check for H <> X Cable Reversal
The DTR
®
may have detected a potentially hazardous step-up condition
while attempting to test the transformer as connected. Verify connections:
HRED & HBLACKshould beattachedtothe highvoltagewinding.XRED &
XBLACK should be attached to the low voltage winding.
High Excitation Current
Check test cable connections for inadvertent short circuits. Check for
shorted transformer windings.
Check Cables & Connections
Verify that all test cable connections have been made correctly and are
rmlyattachedtothetransformerterminals.Inspecttransformerterminals
for dielectric coatings, fungus and corrosion.
