4.3. RLS OR RLP - EQUIVALENT SERIES OR
PARALLEL RESISTANCE
The equivalent series or parallel resistance is obtained from a measurement of the
complex impedance. An ac voltage is applied across the selected winding. The
voltage across and current through the winding are then measured using harmonic
analysis. The measured voltage is divided by the current to obtain a complex
impedance and the equivalent series or parallel resistance calculated.
Select either ‘RLS Equivalent Series Resistance’ or ‘RLP Equivalent Parallel
Resistance’ from the Available Tests window, to display:

To program the test :
1. Enter the signal and frequency required for the test.
Note that the signal is normally entered as a voltage by selecting the 'mV' or 'V'
button; but you may optionally enter it as a current by selecting the 'mA' button.
