On-Load Tap Changer Tester|XHYZ1668
Introduction
The on-load tap changer is the only moving part connected to the transformer circuit, so its detection is increasingly important. According to the procedures for handover and preventive tests of electrical equipment, the action sequence and switching time of the on-load tap changer must be checked. The XHYZ1668 On-Load Tap Changer Tester measures the transition waveform, transition time, instantaneous transition resistance values and three-phase synchronization. It features high intelligence with full Chinese menu prompts, simple operation, compact size, light weight and strong anti-interference, greatly reducing field workload, and is an ideal instrument for power generation and supply units and the transformer manufacturing industry.

Product Details

FAQ
1. Who is this tap changer tester designed for?
It is built for transformer manufacturing plants performing production-line QC, power generation and supply units running preventive tests, and OLTC maintenance specialists who need fast, accurate waveform diagnosis.
2. Can it test transformers with different winding connections?
Yes. It directly tests YN, Y and delta transformers and displays transition resistance without manual conversion, ideal for QC engineers verifying multiple winding types.
3. Does it support testing without a winding?
Yes. It measures both with and without winding, giving service teams flexibility when a transformer cannot be fully energized.
4. How does the high sampling rate help fault diagnosis?
20kHz sampling captures detailed transition waveforms to reveal spring aging, broken transition resistors and loose connections, helping crews pinpoint OLTC defects quickly.
5. What range and accuracy does it provide?
Transition resistance 0.3Ω-100Ω across 0.2A/0.5A/1.0A current levels at ±(5% reading ±0.1Ω), and transition time 0-320ms at ±(0.1% reading ±0.2ms).
