Introduction
1.1 Product description
TRAX™ is a unique testing instrument designed to
accomplish routine and advances diagnostics on
power, distribution and instrument transformers as
well as on many other substation components.
A wide range of AC DC current and voltage sources
together with high precision metering instrumen-
tation allow TRAX to be used in a wide range of
applications such as resistance, ratio, excitation,
impedance and primary measurements of power
system components.
TRAX is a unique test system for testing power
transformers, CTs, VTs, and a variety of other power
components. TRAX is capable of providing up to
800 A and 2200 V (up to 2000 A and 12000 V with
optional accessories) with a frequency range of
5-505 Hz (1-505 for insulation testing) and can be
controlled via integrated touch-screen or an external
computer device with a web browser. The compact
design weighs in at only 26 kg (TRAX220) and can be
shipped in its transportation case within the limits of
check-in luggage (< 32 kg).
1.2 Features and benefits
▪ Multi-function system for transformer/substation
testing
▪ Flexible AC / DC current and voltage sources for a
variety of tests.
▪ State of the art measurement methods for advanced
diagnostic testing
▪ Variable output frequency for accurate
measurements in high interference environments
▪ Compact and lightweight
User interface
TRAX user interface architecture is based on a number
of individual test setups/”instruments”, in this manual
called “Apps”, where only the necessary functionality
is displayed by default. All Apps are “ready to go” in
manual test mode without doing any specific settings.
Just select the amplitude of the test signal and press
start/play. If you prefer guidance from TRAX on how
to perform the measurement, enter the configuration
and TRAX will provide connection diagrams and
a table with the order of measurements. And if a
specific non-standardized measurement is needed, the
“Manual Control” instrument can be used to gener-
ate any voltage or current test signal and measure the
necessary parameters.
All results can be stored and reported as a specific
report containing test object information and all tests
or as data to be imported in e.g. Excel. When testing
a certain substation component, e.g. a power trans-
former, all measurements from different Apps can be
collected in one report/file. It is also possible to use
a former measurement as a template for a new test
session.
