Tunable Resonating Inductors

TRI-12-1 / TRI-15-3 / TRI-30-1

The tunable resonating inductor is an essential accessory used in conjunction with Capacitance and Tan-Delta test sets to expand the capacitance range of the test sets. The tunable resonating inductor is connected in parallel with the internal power supply of the test set and the test object. Tuning the resonating inductor varies the inductance to tune the parallel circuit for minimum resistive load current to be taken from the source, while a majority of inductive current negates the capacitive current requirement of the test object.

The tunable resonating inductor is epoxy molded to avoid effect of atmospheric conditions on the insulation capacity of the coil. The body comprises of a welded steel frame with thick Aluminum panels designed to keep the weight low but withstand the rigors off field operation. TRI series can also be connected to HIPOT HV units, in similar configurations, with necessary changes in a few connections so as to be able to reflect correctly on the current measuring modules and overcurrent protection on the main units.
