1.6 Grounding
Operating the device without PE and ground connection is life-threatening and not permitted.
► Only operate the TESTRANO 600 with a mains power supply connected to protective earth (PE).
► Make sure that both the PE connection of the power supply and the ground connector of the
TESTRANO 600 have a solid and low-impedance connection to the grounding system on site.
This also applies to all other test devices and accessories in the test setup.
► Make sure that the grounding clamp has a good electrical contact to the grounding system on site
and avoid connecting it to corroded or painted surfaces.
► Make sure that the grounding terminal connections of all grounded devices in use remain intact
during the whole measurement procedure, and are not accidentally disconnected.
► Only use ground and supply cables provided by OMICRON.

Safety instructions
Additional information
Instead of supplying the TESTRANO 600 from phase-neutral (L1-N, A-N), it may also be supplied from
phase-phase (for example, L1-L2; A-B).
► Make sure that the voltage does not exceed 240V AC.
► Make sure that the power supply is fuse-protected (16 A automatic circuit breaker).
► Do not use an extension cable on a cable reel to prevent an overheating of the cord; run out the
extension cord.
► Keep extension cables as short as possible to prevent power loss.
External Booster
► Handle the Ext. Booster connector with extreme caution.
► Only use booster cables supplied by OMICRON.
► Do not use booster cables that are frayed or damaged in any way.

Warning lights
► Always observe the warning and status lights while working with TESTRANO 600.
► Do not cover the warning and status lights during operation.
If no or both status lights on the front panel are on, the unit is defective or not supplied by mains.
Beeper
The beeper is an additional indicator for the main device status but does not compensate for the lights
on the TESTRANO 600 front and side panel.
If the beeper has been disabled, no acoustical signal will be emitted while the TESTRANO 600 outputs
are active.
► Refer to section "Beeper" on page 40 of this manual on how to disable and activate the beeper.
If the beeper is activated but does not emit a signal for the scenarios listed above in Table 3-1,
TESTRANO 600 might be defective.
► If TESTRANO 600 appears to be defective, do not use it anymore. Contact OMICRON support
(see "Support" on page 276).

5.1 Safety precautions in the substation
Before setting TESTRANO 600 into operation and carrying out a test, it is essential that you have read
and understood chapter 1 "Safety instructions" on page 8.
► Be aware that all output sockets of TESTRANO 600 can carry life-hazardous voltage and current.
► Only use TESTRANO 600 with a solid connection to ground. Refer to 1.6 "Grounding" on page 12 for
more information on grounding TESTRANO 600.
► Separate your working area – see Figure 1-1: "Illustration of work area and high-voltage area
established for working with TESTRANO 600 and CP TD" on page 10.
► Tests with high voltages and currents must only be carried out by authorized and qualified personnel.
► Personnel receiving training, instructions, directions, or education on high- voltage/current tests
should remain under the constant supervision of an experienced operator while working with the
equipment.
► The instructions have to be renewed at least once per year.
► The instructions must be available in written form and signed by each person assigned to do high-
voltage/current tests.
Prior to connecting a test object to TESTRANO 600, the following steps need to be carried out by an
authorized employee of the utility:
► Protect yourself and your working environment against an accidental re-connection of high voltage
by other persons and circumstances.
► Verify that the test object is safely isolated.
► Earth-connect and shorten out the test object’s terminals using a grounding set.
► Protect yourself and your working environment with a suitable protection against other (possibly live)
circuits.
► Protect others from accessing the high-voltage area and accidentally touching live parts by setting up
a suitable barrier and, if applicable, warning lights.
► If there is a longer distance between the location of TESTRANO 600 and the area of danger, a
second person with an additional Emergency Stop button is required.

8.1 Demagnetization
Whenever a power transformer is isolated from the power system, residual magnetism remains in its
core due to a phase shift. Due to residual magnetism in the core, high inrush currents, up to the
maximum short-circuit current can occur. This puts undesired stress on the transformer when it is
switched back into service. In addition, many diagnostic measurements can be affected by residual
magnetism, making a reliable assessment very difficult.
Therefore, it is recommended to demagnetize the core before switching the transformer back into service
and after DC voltages have been applied during diagnostic testing.

The turns ratio is determined during factory acceptance tests and needs to be checked routinely once
the transformer is in service. By measuring the ratio and phase angle from one winding to the other, open
circuits and shorted turns can be detected.
A low-voltage turns ratio test may not detect a voltage sensitive failure within the transformer. Therefore,
for fault investigations, it is recommended that a high-voltage turns ratio test is performed to apply a
higher electrical stress to the insulation system.

PTM Transformer tests
The turns ratio is determined during factory acceptance tests and needs to be checked routinely once
the transformer is in service. By measuring the ratio and phase angle from one winding to the other, open
circuits and shorted turns can be detected.
A low-voltage turns ratio test may not detect a voltage sensitive failure within the transformer. Therefore,
for fault investigations, it is recommended that a high-voltage TTR test is performed to apply a higher
electrical stress to the insulation system.

Technical data
15 Technical data
At the time of factory adjustment all units are within the typical accuracy values specified in this
document.
Typical accuracy means that 98 % of all units meet the specified values at 23 °C ± 5 °C/73 ºF ± 10 ºF,
after a warm-up time of more than 25 min., and in a frequency range of 45 Hz to 65 Hz or DC.
The typical accuracy values multiplied by 3 are guaranteed at an ambient temperature of
23 ºC ± 5 ºC/73 ºF ± 10 ºF, after a warm-up time more than 25 min., and in a frequency range of
45 Hz to 65 Hz or DC.
Accuracy values indicate that the error is smaller than:
± (value read × reading error [rd] + full scale of range × range error [rg]).
For mains voltages below 190 V AC the system is subject to power restrictions.
OMICRON suggests that you send in your unit for calibration at least once a year.
Technical data are subject to change without notice.
CAT level
The CAT level required depends on the TESTRANO 600 application. All CAT ratings are defined for sea
levels below 2000 m. There are some limitations between 2000 m and 5000 m from sea level (see
section 15.8 "Environmental conditions" on page 274).
CAT I is required when the measured voltage is generated by the test set itself. No voltages from other
sources are measured.
CAT II is required when measuring within electrical devices or between mains supply and devices.
CAT III is required when measuring in electrical installations such as control cubicles that are still
connected to the station battery or mains. The electrical installations are protected by a fuse.
