Primary Test Manager™ (PTM)

Testing and management software for primary assets

2

The ideal tool for diagnostic testing and condition assessment

The Primary Test ManagerTM (PTM) is the ideal software tool for

diagnostic testing of power transformers, current transformers,

and circuit breakers.

PTM assists you, e.g. test engineers and asset managers, in

testing and assessing your equipment according to applicable

international IEEE and IEC standards and guidelines* while keeping

your testing time to a minimum. All test and assessment results are

automatically stored in a structured and easily accessible database.

Available tests with PTM

PTM provides a uniform and user-friendly PC interface using

OMICRON’s multi-functional CPC test systems.

Thereby, you can perform a wide range of tests on power

transformers, current transformers and circuit breakers as

well as associated assets such as bushings, surge arresters

and tap changers.

Execution of diagnostic tests

Customized test plans

Based on the nameplate values, PTM

generates a customized test plan

according to current standards and

guidelines for each asset. Thereby,

PTM provides you a comprehensive

test plan to thoroughly assess the

condition of your asset.

By selecting or de-selecting

individual tests, you can tailor the

test procedure to your specific needs

with minimum effort. At the same

time, test plans can be configured in

advance to enable fast and effective

measurements onsite.

The Primary Test ManagerTM

(PTM) supports you in

performing measurements and

guides you step by step through

the entire test procedure.

Detailed nameplate data

In order to assist you during testing,

PTM helps you in defining your

asset with specific nameplate

views. It indicates mandatory and

recommended parameters, making

data entry fast and easy.

You can enter information about

the location as well as nameplate

parameters, such as serial number,

vector group, or voltage and current

ratings.

Once the data is entered, it can be

re-used for all tests in the future.

Easy connection due to wiring diagrams

Pre-configured wiring diagrams,

depending on the selected asset

and connected test set, assist you

with setting up the test equipment

in the correct way.

In doing so, you minimize the

likelihood of measurement errors,

speed up your testing process and

obtain accurate test results even

faster.

3 Fully PC operated

PTM enables you to control and

operate the connected test set

directly from a computer.

Results are automatically stored and

organized in the database on your

PC and are available for analysis and

reporting. Therefore, there is no

need to retrieve test results or files

from the test equipment after

performing measurements.

4 Automatic assessment of measurement results

Limit values can be set according to

current international standards and

guidelines. They are based on many

years of OMICRON expertise.

An automatic assessment of the test

results is displayed based on the

specified limit values. This allows a

fast, first assessment of your asset’s

condition.

Software-guided workflow with PTMSoftware-guided workflow with PTMSoftware-guided workflow with PTMSoftware-guided workflow with PTMSoftware-guided workflow with PTMSoftware-guided workflow with PTM

Automatic assessment

Limit values can be selected according to applicable

guidelines or defined based on your individual customized

limit profiles.

A real-time overview of the test results is given during

the measurement, including a progress update with an

indication of any open tasks.

An instant “pass/fail” assessment of the test results is

displayed based on specified limit values. In addition,

a tooltip informs you which test parameters should be

investigated.

Result analysis and reporting

6

Graphical comparison of test results

The graphical comparison function is an additional option

for assessing the test results. It provides further indication

regarding the quality of the measured values.

You can easily compare measurement results of a previous

test by loading them into the same diagram, for example

using previous test results of the same or similar asset.

Visualization of test results

Test results and their “pass/fail” assessment are visualized

within the table view and can hint towards further

investigation, if necessary.

The graphical display helps you to get detailed information

regarding the measured value and its assessment. Thereby,

test results and their reference values, e.g. nameplate

values, can be compared side-by-side in one diagram.

7

Customized, individual reports

PTM supports you in adapting your reports to your

needs. Therefore, you can choose to generate your

report in Microsoft Word™ and as a PDF file.

You can decide which parts are included in the test

report and provide comments on every test.

Depending on the test you can choose from different

types of result tables and diagrams contained in your

test report.

Furthermore, you can incorporate your company logo,

photos and other test results in your individualized test

report.

All-in-one reports

PTM automatically generates reports including all

asset-related information and performed tests. This

gives you an comprehensive overview of the test

object, test results and assessment.

The all-in-one reports per asset include:

> Information on location

> Nameplate information/values

> Overview on performed tests, obtained test results

and the assessment of the test results

Management of location, asset and test data

Well-structured data management

The well-structured PTM database allows you to define

and manage locations, assets, jobs and reports in an

easy and fast way.

Once your asset data is entered, you can re-use it to

generate new jobs or to add similar assets. The

user-friendly design helps you in finding all asset-related

data needed for the execution and assessment of tests.

Well-prepared and with lots of saved time you can

start the guided workflow for performing your

measurements.

For ensuring the all-in-one approach of PTM,

all kinds of files can be attached to the performed tests

or compiled as asset or location data.

Thus, you can also store test results from measurements

which are not supported by PTM in the database,

e.g. oil quality data.

Access your database in the Manage view of PTM

Open data exchange

PTM supports data exchange between different test

systems:

> You can export raw data of test results to

Microsoft Excel™ and in XML format

> You can generate reports in Microsoft Word™

or save as a PDF file

> You can import and export asset and location

data via Microsoft Excel™

Frequency Response of Stray Losses (FRSL)

The short circuit impedance / leakage reactance test

allows you to detect short circuits between parallel

strands over the frequency.

These short circuits cannot be detected by means

of line frequency testing or via other tests such as

transformer ratio or DC winding resistance.

Power factor / dissipation factor with variable frequency

This measurement provides you with values that

cannot be determined with individual measurements

at line frequency. It enables you to determine whether

or not moisture has penetrated the cellulose or oil

has been contaminated. Furthermore, measuring at

variable frequency helps you to decide whether more

intensive analysis or immediate corrective measures

are necessary.
