INTRODUCTION 4-0 Raytech Digital Winding Resistance meter WR50-12 is the successor of the very successful type WR50-2. It is the improved type with the world unique demagnetizing circuit. It is designed for high degree of accuracy for the measurement of very low resistance of inductive loads. This technology was then packed into a portable test system for use by apparatus manufacturers, rebuild shops, and electrical maintenance crews. Ease of use: This intelligent system has an easy to use operation screen, which allows quick selection of the current level to be measured. Just point with your finger on the item you want to change or activate. Impressive Accuracy: The WR50-12 is a high precision, fully automatic, multi-microprocessor based system. This system is designed for highly accurate readings on-site with laboratory precision. Unique Measuring Technique: This newly designed technique of measurement incorporates a high precision measurement circuit, a unique power source and the fastest discharge unit on market. Extensive filtering and high precision standards are used within the test system. The system is capable of precision measurements to 50 A. Operation: The WR50-12 applies a preset current level, selected by the User. The 50V power source quickly charges the load and the results of the test are displayed within a few seconds automatically. The results are reported on the easy to read color LC display and can be stored or printed. Compact Design: The WR50-12 is one of the most lightweight systems available that comes complete with its own rugged waterproof Fieldcase. Simple Maintenance: There is No maintenance required. There is No calibration procedure (No potentiometers to turn). This is due to the utilization of high precision components in the design. Advanced Protection: Upon powering on the system initializes itself with a self-calibrating, circuit checking sequence. If any problems are detected during this initialization period, or during operation, the operator is immediately notified. The system constantly monitors the condition when turned on. The WR50-12 has extensive protection built in to the circuitry. This is one of the many reasons we can extend our warranty to 2 years. Advantages & Features: Highest accuracy and Precision of any high current test system. Automatic measurements of Low Resistance from 0.1µΩ...10kΩ. Demagnetising Circuit (world unique) Microprocessor based system with internal storage for over 10000 test results. Printing and Storage of test results while the test system is measuring.

SYSTEM DETAILS: 5-0 System Check: The instrument is Line operated. The system is designed to be used with voltage power sources (mains power) between 100-250 Vac 50/60Hz. The system performs a self-check each time that it is powered on. The User should always visually inspect all connectors, cables and devices to be measured to avoid any safety issues. Limitations of Winding Resistance Testing: In general, there are no limitations on testing low or high inductive windings of transformers. The test system is specially designed to test all transformer windings. Discharging the Transformer windings: The WR50 systems are specialized systems designed to measure Transformer windings. These systems are equipped with heavy-duty discharge circuits that are very unique in the market! The internal discharge circuit dissipates the stored energy in the transformer windings with Constant Power Discharge Circuit that is unique to all transformer winding test systems. That is the reason why Raytech systems can discharge transformers more then 10 times faster then any other system on the market. If a cable happens to fall off during test, the system will STILL discharge the test object safely with the automatic Constant Power Discharge Circuit. The Potential Test Leads are part of the safety circuit and require the ability to discharge a transformer in the case where a current lead may become detached. DO NOT USE A SMALLER GAUGE POTENTIAL CABLES THEN THE ORIGINAL RAYTECH CABLES SUPPLIED! Low Resistance Testing: The WR50-12 utilizes a 4 wire measuring technique on each Channel. The points where the potential leads are connected determine the resistance reading. The test set employs a very simple principle of Ohm s law: R=U/I R = Resistance, U = Voltage, I = Current RAYTECH Switzerland All rights reserved.

TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENTS: 9-0 The system allows up to Three (3) temperature probes to be used with the system for the purpose of recording temperatures. Optional Part Number: TP 01, can be purchased for this purpose. Recording the temperature of the device under test is highly recommended due to the characteristics of the increase of resistance of a metallic object as its temperature increases. There are temperature compensation tables for Copper and Aluminum available to calculate the conversion factor to a known reference temperature. The WR50-12 is a very accurate and precise test system. To take full advantage of this high accuracy, the temperature of the device under test should be recorded. The TP 01 temperature probe is mounted to a flexible extension cable that plugs into the front panel of the WR50-12. This option enables the User to record the ambient temperature and/or the actual temperature of the device under test. The WR50-12 will automatically sense when the optional temperature probes, TP 01, are connected to it. The temperature will be displayed on the instrument screen during a test and will appear when a printed report is requested. The temperature, as well as the test results, can be saved into memory. TEMPERATURE CORRECTION: 10-0 The WR50-12 can, fully automatic, correct the measured values regarding the temperature. To activate this feature press Setup and then Temp. Correction In this example, the measured object is copper and will be corrected to 25Degrees Celsius based on the temperature on Temperature channel 1. If you do not have a Raytech Temperature probe, activate the Ext box and fill in the temperature you measure with your other temperature probe. The correction follows the formula: Rs=Rm[(Ts+Tk)/(Tm+Tk)] where Rs is resistance at desired temperature, Ts Rm is measured resistance Ts is desired reference temperature Tm is the temperature at which resistance was/is measured Tk is 234.5 for copper, 225 for aluminum (aluminum may be as high as 240) If you are used to a correction with alpha25 you can calculate the Tk by the formula: Tk=(1/alpha25)-25 RAYTECH Switzerland All rights reserved. No portion may be reproduced without written consent 15
TEMPERATURE CORRECTION: (cont.) 10-0 If you are using another Tk then the standards for cooper or aluminum, activate the box User defined and input the Tk in the box below. When Temperature correction is activated, the main screen looks as follows: The T in the box at each measuring channel shows that the displayed resistance value is corrected (in this example to 25Degrees using Tk of cooper and referring to Temperature probe 1). In case the T in the box is red, ther is no temperature probe connected. If you want to see the real (not corrected) value, just hit the T and it looks like follows: The crossed T shows that the displayed resistance value is NOT corrected. No matter if you activate the correction in the display or not, the corrected AND the uncorrected values are stored. RAYTECH Switzerland All rights reserved.
