VOTANO 100
OMICRON
Sophisticated voltage transformer testing
> Mobile and accurate voltage transformer testing
> Inductive and capacitive coupled
voltage transformers (VTs)
> Testing in power system grids, production
facilities, and test/development labs
> Protection and metering applications
> Determination of all important
transformer parameters:
> VT ratio accuracy
> VT phase angle accuracy
> VT winding resistance of secondary windings
> Class verification of VTs with
up to 5 secondary windings

Page 2 OMICRON
Your benefits
> Mobile: compact size and low weight
(< 15 kg / 33 lbs)
> Accurate: field calibration of VTs up to
the 0.1 accuracy class
> Fast: software-guided test procedure ensures
short testing time (< 20 min)
> Convenient: automatic result assessment as per
IEEE and IEC standards directly after the test
> Efficient: simulation and re-assessment
with changed VT parameters
> Safe: 4 kV maximum test voltage and
local isolation between high voltage and
measuring equipment

Page 6 OMICRON
Step 1: measurement of parameters Step 2: modeling
Software-guided measurement of different
VT parameters such as winding resistance,
magnetization characteristics, etc.
Determination of VT model elements and
calculation of VT accuracy through
embedded mathematical functions

Page 7 OMICRON
Step 3: IEEE/IEC assessment Step 4: reporting
Automated comparison of test results with
the defined values in accordance with the
selected IEEE or IEC standard
All data can be saved in Excel and XML
format or can be printed as a test report.
Test procedure
Maximum safety during testing
> Supplied voltage booster VBO1: located in
high-voltage environment
> User and VOTANO 100: located in safe area
outside the high-voltage environment
> VBO1 provides 4 kV maximum test voltage
for ratio measurement
> Grounding and plausibility check
> Acoustic warnings
> Emergency stop button or
optional dead man switch
