The PFRS-25 is a power transformer frequency sweep response analyzer designed to confirm the mechanical integrity of a power transformer by measuring the frequency response per the IEEE C57.149-2012 and IEC 60076-18 standards. The included test and analysis software can be used to perform tests automatically and to graphically compare test results and provide correlation analysis per the IEEE C57.149-2012 and DL/T 911-2004 standards. The software can be used to quickly assess the mechanical and electrical integrity of the transformer under test.
The PFRS-25 can confirm the mechanical integrity of a transformer by comparing the frequency response of the transformer with the previous known results. Every transformer has a unique frequency response system which changes if the mechanical geometry of the transformer is changed. These changes can occur due to physical movement or transportation. The physical geometry can also change if the transformer experiences high fault current due to internal or external fault. The fingerprint comparison of the frequency response system can be used to detect power transformer problems such as:
