    What test set or method you are using for testing turns ratio on CCVTs?

    Can any of you tell me what test set or method you are using for testing turns ratio on CCVTs? Are you guys applying a high voltage to the high voltage terminal, and measuring the secondary, or are you using a test set? My understanding is a standard TTR test set will record too high of an error due to the voltage decay in the capacitor stack. Vanguard's CTV-765 seems like a simple and fast test set. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks!

    Most simple method I think is using a power factor test set as a power supply to the HV terminal and measure the secondary voltage.

    totally agree with Sanjayo, just did some a few months back, 80kv-120v I believe. we put 10kv on the high side with our omicron cpc100/td1 and measured 15v on the low side

    Could you use an AC hipot if you don't have a power factor set?

    Never tried that... not sure honestly. I don't see why not.

    Hipots usually trip out on very low levels of current.

    Very true. Yep, not likely you would be able to use a hipot. Good call. Depending on the ratio, I've used just a small power source.

    CCVT Ratio Test

    I personally use an M4100 to apply 10kV to the top and measuring at the bottom with a voltmeter. However, this will either be at 57 or 63 Hz, which I've recently been concerned about effecting the accuracy.
