2.1 Designated use
The CP TD12/15 works as an add-on device to the CPC 100, CPC 80, or the TESTRANO 600, which
are used to control the measurement. In this manual, these devices are collectively named Control
device if no specific device is referred to. Do not connect the CP TD12/15 to any other Control device
than the CPC 100, CPC 80, or the TESTRANO 600.
The CP TD12/15 is a high-precision test system for on-site insulation tests of high-voltage assets such
as power transformers, bushings, capacitors and rotating machines.
The internal switched mode power amplifier enables measuring at different frequencies without
interference at the mains frequency. Automatic test procedures reduce the testing time to the minimum.
Test reports are generated automatically.
When used with the CPC 100, CPC 80, or the TESTRANO 600, the CP TD12/15 comes with its own
CPC test card named TanDelta, which provides highly accurate measurements of the capacitance Cx
and the dissipation factor tanδ (DF) or power factor cosϕ (PF), respectively.
Additionally, the CP TD12/15 can measure the following quantities:
• Actual, apparent and reactive power
• Quality factor QF
• Inductance
• Impedance, phase angle
• Test voltage & current
The CP TD12/15 can also be used as high-voltage source.
Any other use of the CP TD12/15 not mentioned above is considered improper use and will invalidate
all customer warranty claims and exempt the manufacturer from liability.
