TRAX Transformer and Substation Test System

Multi-functional like no other As a leading provider of measuring instruments for electrical power applications, Megger has selected the best from their range of power testing equipment, added unmatched functionality plus intelligent simplicity, and packed it all into an easy-to-transport box ready for your next test assignment. It is called TRAX. In today’s testing environment, there’s little that TRAX cannot measure. Thanks to a unique combination of high-performance hardware, modern software and intuitive interface, plus a series of outstanding apps, it easily exceeds the performance and...

TRAX – time-saver at your service One product. One software. One world. TRAX is not just another multi-functional test instrument, but rather many intelligent instruments built into one box. The software includes a number of apps, making it fast and easy to perform a large range of different tests. The hardware offers unmatched flexibility and the range of cables and accessories adds even more flexibility, making the TRAX an efficient and time saving system for any user in the world. One product TRAX is a multi-functional solution for transformer testing. It also adds several common...

One product. For a variety of different tests. Testing transformers and other substation assets takes time, especially if it involves learning, shipping, and using a lot of different test instruments. Having just one instrument for a variety of different tasks makes a lot of sense. What’s more, TRAX doesn’t compromise on the performance you normally expect when using individual test sets from one or several manufacturers. Add DC resistance measurements with dual-ground capability, a three-phase circuit-breaker analyzer, CT and VT testing, basic relay testing capabilities and you also have a...

Both TRAX 220 and TRAX 280 are delivered in rugged, highly mobile transport cases with wheels and recessed retractable handle.

One software. Many different apps! A dedicated app for each and every instrument plus easy-to-use interface architecture that displays only the necessary functionality and nothing else. TRAX transforms even the most complex measuring task into a simple, standard operation. Sophisticated simplicity Sophisticated technology requires simple solutions. The simplicity of TRAX translates into time-saving convenience when performing advanced measurements - getting complex things done quickly and efficiently. TRAX apps are the key to this simplicity, 'transforming' the unit into dedicated...

Minimize learning time + Minimize testing time = Maximize efficiency

One world. Any standard... TRAX Transformer and Substation Test System is designed for mobility – yet it still performs as well as or better than any dedicated field-test equipment on the market. TRAX supports transformer tests according to most of the applicable standards and guidelines (IEC, ANSI, CIGRE, etc). It’s probably the world’s most compatible ‘transformer and substation’ test system. Any destination… No part of the system weighs more than 32 kg, making TRAX the first truly mobile transformer and substation multi-functional test system. No need to send it by air cargo when flying...

“We need equipment with high performance for testing in the factory. It’s ideal if commissioning engineers can use it in the field as well.” Transformer manufacturer test-room manager “I don’t want to part with my test equipment for weeks when flying to work.” Service company test engineer “How to find value for money when equipping our testing crew with test gear? What about the cost for training the people that will perform the tests?” Power utility asset manager “We need a versatile testing toolbox that will fit all testing needs for our primary assets.” Industrial plant electrical en

…power transformer health assessments Power transformers are among the most expensive parts of the electrical network. Testing a power transformer is important in order to correctly assess the condition of the unit and to detect incipient faults at an early stage. The objective is to ensure safe operation and minimize the risk of outages. With a careful asset management program, it will be possible to extend the life of the power transformer while maintaining reliability. TRAX makes it possible to perform all the basic electrical tests* on a power transformer with one device. Winding...

Turns Ratio app in config mode The instrument provides an excitation test voltage (from 1.5 to 250 V) to the primary windings of the transformer and simultaneously measures the voltage at the corresponding secondary winding. Voltage ratio is displayed and compared with the expected target ratio. Recalculation of measured values with respect to the transformer configuration is automatically performed for various vector groups. TRAX measures turns ratio, phase deviation and excitation current at the same time. Testing can be done at power frequency, or preferred and default, at a frequency...

The need to implement an efficient maintenance plan and diagnostic methods increases as the overall transformer inventory ages. No single measurement can predict the service life of a transformer. It has been demonstrated, however, that combining test activities, data trending and continuous follow-up of maintenance records increases reliability and reduces the number of breakdowns and disruptions, thereby optimizing the utilization of the transformer inventory. TRANS General input for analog transducers and low-level analog signals, e.g. motion transducers, Rogowski output, etc. CONTROL...

TRIG IN External trig input. TIMING Three binary inputs are used for timing measurements in the circuit-breaker instrument (where they offer three-phase timing) as well as in the timer and relay instruments. The 10.4-inch touch-screen offers great visibility in all environments thanks to its high contrast ratio and strong backlight. Its size is equal to most standard tablets. All software instruments are big enough for large buttons, making TRAX easy to read and control. ANALOG A four-channel digital multimeter measuring voltage and current offers many user opportunities. R1 and R2 inputs,...
