TheADTR-2K is only the measuring instrument to test insulatingliquids, it should be used with a three-terminal oil test cell.A heater is required if the oil is to be tested at temperaturesspecified in international or national standards. A suitablesolid dielectric test cell is required for testing insulation insheet form.When excited with an AC source, the ADTR-2K measuresthe Voltage, Capacitance, Dielectric Loss and Frequency.Dissipation Factor (Tan Delta) or Power Factor iscalculated from the above measurements. To determinethe Dielectric Constant (∈), the measurements are carriedon an empty and a full test cell. The parameters of the testcell can also be entered manually, using the keypad.The operating procedure is menu driven & simple. The AC &DC test voltages are set using the front panel keypad. Testscan be programmed for the AC test between 200 to 2400volts and 100 to 1,000 volts for the DC test.After initial set-up, the oil test cell is filled with the oiltest sample & the test procedure is initiated. The test setperforms all the selected measurements automatically &the results are displayed on the front panel. The testresults can be transferred to a PC using the RS232 interface,printed using the Centronics parallel port, or stored in anon-volatile memory. The tests can also be repeated.S P E C I F I C A T I O N SDielectric Constant & Tan DeltaTest Voltage : 0 - 2400 VAC in 1 volt stepsat line frequency.Accuracy : ± 1% of outputCapacitance : 0 - 200 …. 1600 pFAccuracy : ± 0.1% of reading ± 0.1pFBest Resolution : 0.01 pFDielectric Constant : 1 to 20 when using a typicaloil testcell (C = ~70pF)Accuracy : ± 0.1%Resolution : 0.001Dissipation Factor (DF) : 0 - 1.000Accuracy : ± 1% of reading ± 0.0001Best Resolution : 0.00001 (10 -5 )Dielectric Loss : 0 - 10.00 wattsAccuracy : ± 1% of reading ±(10 -5 )Best Resolution : 0.001 milli watts (10 -6 watts)Cell Constant : Any cell acceptable; oil test cellwith 50 - 70 pF are ideal forOptimum performance.Resistance - ResistivityTest voltage : 100 - 1000 VDC in 1 volt stepsAccuracy : ±1% of settingResistance Range : 10 6 to 10 12 OhmsResolution : 3 digitsAccuracy : ±2% of reading upto 1GΩ,increasing to ±10% at high end.Resistivity : 10 9 to 10 15 Ω - cm with atypical test cell of 1000 cm.Resolution : 3 digits.Accuracy : ±2% of reading at 10 9 – 10 13 Ω-cm±5% of reading at 10 13 – 10 14 Ω-cm±10% of reading above 10 14 Ω-cm2
