Working principle:
After the offset-frequency dielectric loss tester starts measurement, the high voltage set value is sent to the variable frequency power supply. The variable frequency power supply uses a PID algorithm to slowly adjust the output to the set value. The measurement circuit sends the actual high voltage to the variable frequency power supply and fine-tunes the low voltage to achieve accurate high voltage output. According to the positive/reverse wiring settings, the measurement circuit automatically selects the input and switches the range based on the test current. The measurement circuit uses Fourier transform to filter out interference, separates the fundamental wave of the signal, performs vector operations on the standard current and the test object current, calculates capacitance from amplitude, and calculates tgδ from phase difference. Multiple measurements are repeated, and a middle result is selected after sorting. When the measurement is complete, the measurement circuit sends a voltage reduction command, and the variable frequency power supply slowly reduces the voltage to 0.
1. This instrument can only be used on equipment that is de-energized; the grounding terminal should be reliably connected to the grounding grid,
and the instrument should be used in a spacious, safe, and reliable location as much as possible.
2. The equipment under test should be disconnected from the high-voltage leads and switched to maintenance state, cleaned, and after preliminary insulation tests are satisfactory, the instrument can be used for testing to prevent damage to the instrument during voltage application due to poor insulation of the equipment under test.
3. Determine which wiring method to use based on the installation situation of the equipment, and select the corresponding wiring method in the menu options.
4. Correctly select the test voltage level according to different equipment, and select the required voltage in the corresponding menu options.
5. In case of special situations that endanger safety during the test, the main power can be turned off urgently.
6. Only after turning off the power switch on the panel and clearly disconnecting the 220V test power supply can wiring changes be made or work be concluded; when repeating tests on the same equipment, press reset and measure again, or choose to repeat after the previous test is completed.
7. To ensure measurement accuracy, especially when the loss of small capacitance test objects is small, it is necessary to ensure good insulation of the low-voltage end (or secondary end) of the equipment under test and measure in an environment with relatively low humidity.
8. When conducting tests on large capacitance test objects, the grounding of the instrument and the grounding of the test object should not be at the same grounding point to prevent counter-voltage or traveling waves from affecting the safety of the instrument during grounding discharge.
9. The instrument comes with a built-in voltage boosting device; attention should be paid to the insulation distance of the high-voltage lead and personnel safety; 10. The instrument should be reliably grounded; poor grounding may cause machine protection or danger.
10. After the instrument is started, except for special circumstances, it is not allowed to suddenly turn off the power to avoid overvoltage damage to the equipment;
11. Although the special high-voltage wire (HVx) provided with the instrument has been tested and qualified at the factory, it should still be kept away from the human body and the low-voltage test line (Cx) during measurement; neither the high-voltage core wire nor the high-voltage shield wire should be grounded or contact the low-potential part of the test circuit.
The core wire and shield wire of the CX input line must not contact the high-voltage parts of the test circuit.
12. The instrument should be protected from moisture and severe vibration.
13. When on-site interference is significant and power frequency cannot yield definite results, offset-frequency measurement should be used; in other cases, power frequency measurement should be used.
14. If after issuing a measurement command, the measurement result does not appear on the screen for a long time (1 minute), it may be due to excessive capacitance of the test object or a system crash; restart the instrument and reduce the measurement voltage before measuring again.
15. A short circuit in the test object will prevent measurement, and the instrument will automatically protect itself. When a section of paper extends from the paper outlet at the top of the machine, press the button to stop paper feeding. The printing paper is allowed to be pulled out.
