OMICRON FRANEO 800

With OMICRON FRANEO 800 to perform sweep frequency response analysis (SFRA), you can detect defects as well as faults in the magnetic core, the winding assembly and the clamping structures of power transformers.

Measuring principle OMICRON FRANEO 800 injects a sinusoidal excitation voltage with a continuously increasing frequency into one end of the transformer winding and measures the signal returning from the other end. Due to a direct measurement in the frequency domain, no additional data processing is required. The comparison of input and output signals generates a unique frequency response, which can be compared with reference data. Thereby, deviations can indicate changes of internal components. These deviations can be directly related to different sections of the frequency range and they can be discerned from each other.

The SFRA measurement technique is the most sensitive diagnostic method for the detection of mechanical deformations. As the SFRA covers a wide frequency range, electrical defects and faults can also be indicated. Based on the SFRA results, you can reliably assess the integrity of your power transformer and, if required, derive further diagnostic measurement techniques, such as leakage reactance, exciting current or winding resistance measurements. These measurements can be performed with our multifunctional CPC 100 + CP TD12/15.
