Description:

The bridge model TD50 works under the principle of a compensated inductive current divider system.

It is designed for capacity and dissipation factor measurements on the insulation of cables, transformers, bushings, or any sample that can be tested with high voltage.
It can be used for quality control in the laboratory or for field measurements.

The bridge has an external compensation that allows the use of standard capacitors of 100 pF or 1000 pF with different lengths of cable. No corrections on readings are needed.

With 1000 pF standard capacitor the capacity range is up to 10 mF. If needed, the capacity range can be extended x1000 using the optional Transformer Model TA100.

The set TD50 / FB15 is designed for measurements on grounded objects such as power or instruments transformers at a substation.

The power supply is double screened for measurement of grounded objects and has an interference suppressor that is useful near a high voltage transmission line.
