Hello guys,
please give me ideas of how to make transformer turns ratio tester using null detector bridge.
the theme would be that i have to apply ac voltage to HV side of transformer suppose 11000V, and then maybe 415V will be induced on secondary side of transformer. So, turns ratio at this stage would 11000/415*1.732=45.908 .... so having 6 tapping transformer, turns ratio would be different for all taps... i want to feed these turns ratio values to my null detector bridge and as i energize the transformer, whatever value will be induced on secondary side should be shown on my bridge circuit, or null detection indication.... please guide me how to do that...

I would get a micrometer, measure the thickness of the wire, then measure the resistance of the coil and determine the length of the wire and work from there.

Where will you source a 11000VAC supply?
Is it current-limited for safety?
Why do you need such a high test voltage?
Where does the 1.732 factor come from?

11000V AC is just the rated voltage of the transformer winding. i mean to say if the rated voltage of HV side of transformer winding is 11000 and LV side rated voltage is 415 volts. then turns ratio would be calculated as i did in the above post. 1.732 is just root 3 which is understood when you are working with three phase AC circuits and Three Phase Transformers. there is a big derivation to prove this root 3 factor.

 

this way i will get the turns ratio that if i produce 11kv on HV side, 415 volts will be induced on LV side... so while testing turns ratio i will only give the fraction of a rated voltage say 250 V and will check what voltage will be induced on LV side.... the voltage induced will be same as the turns ratio we calculated above.... so in this way i want my turns ratio tester to provide readings as turns ratio
