MIKO-2.3 is a portable mini-laboratory allowing performing of all tasks connected with resistance measurement in electrical equipment as this instrument operates in four modes: micro-ohmmeter, milli-ohmmeter, kilo-ohmmeter and thermometer.

All types of electrical equipment (transformers, electrical machines and electrical switching devices) require different means for full-rate diagnostic. However, in case of direct-current resistance measurement the multipurpose instrument MIKO-2.3 can be used.

Resistance range for the above listed equipment is wide and resides within the values from 10-3 to 600А and more.

For monitoring of a transformer or a sole circuit-breaker, for instance, a micro-ohmmeter, milli-ohmmeter, thermometer and even kilo-ohmeter are needed. It means that you have to use three or even four instruments one at a time which is not usually convenient. Increasing of the number of instruments increases not only the total cost of a set, but also its weight which complicates transportation of equipment to remote facilities.

Micro-ohmmeter mode is designed for measuring contact resistances of any switching devices as well as collapsible and non-collapsible contact connections in the range within 1 µOhm - 105 µOhm.

In addition, this mode allows you to take into account the presence or abse­nce of a current transformer in the measured circuit:

  • sub-mode "CT-no";
  • sub-mode "CT-yes";
  • sub-mode "CT-yes, Tmax".

But the main requirements for micro-ohmmeters are to provide a rather large operating current, which is able to burn through oxidized films. They are formed on the contacts and give a significant inaccuracy in the measurement of resistance.

MIKO-2.3 surpasses all foreign and domestic micro-ohmmeters. The closest micro-ohmmeter in terms of characteristics at a current of up to 500 A has a mass of 7.5 kg and mains charge. MIKO-2.3 with a mass of only 2.7 kg gives a current of up to 1000 A, and also runs on a capacitor bank.

In the micro-ohmmeter mode, the device has an archive for saving 62 results with the values ​​of the measured resistance. Archive is designed to store, view, delete measurement results, as well as to transfer them to a PC.

To transfer data to a PC and maintain a measurement archive, an RS-232 cable, a special adapter (optional) and the MIKO measurement archive program are used.

Milli-ohmmeter mode is designed for measurement of direct-current resistance in circuits with high inductance (transformers, electromagnets etc.) within the range of 100 μΩ - 1 kΩ.

Two submodes are used here: measurement of one-phase and three-phase windings. Besides, MIKO-2.3 has a function of automatic recalculation of resistance measurement results for a three-phase winding:

  • calculation of relative deviations of resistance values of moving coils between each other;
  • recalculation of resistance values of moving coils connected according to the triangle scheme into resistance values of phase windings;
  • recalculation of resistance values of moving coils connected according to the star scheme into resistance values of phase windings;
  • recalculation of a winding resistance measured at current temperature T into resistance at base temperature Ɵ with due account for the winding material.

The appliance has an archive for storage of results of changing the "milli-ohmmeter" mode that allows for storing and reading 63 results for electrical resistance of one-phase windings and 21 result for three-phase windings.

A special program by the manufacturer is used for transmission of data to a computer and for keeping archive records of measurements on a PC.

Kilo-ohmmeter mode is designed for measurement of resistance of ballast, shunt, additional and other resistors with induced voltage up to 5 kV, as well as without induced voltage within the range of 0.1 kΩ - 300 kΩ.

Thermometer mode is designed to measure the temperature of oil, water, air and other non-aggressive environments within the range from -20°C to +120°C.

Identification of each of the four modes is automatic by connecting the corresponding test cable.

Due to a combination of functional and mass-dimensional parameters (200 x 151 x 68 mm; 2.7 kg) MIKO-2.3 achieves cutting edge innovation, while the above features and self-contained power supply  ensure full portability and high mobility of the instrument over the vast territory of substation or facility.

The ability of MIKO-2.3 to supply current up to 1000A is realized due to the operation of a condenser battery. The presence of such type of a battery provides full charging of the instrument from 0% to 100% in 5 minutes! Nevertheless, rapid discharge also occurs in some modes of the instrument operation, that determines the dependence of MIKO-2.3 on electrical network. In order to eliminate this nuance, SKB EP has developed an external battery of a modern lithium-ion type which has received the symbol – power bank. The main task of the power bank for MIKO-2.3 is to maintain the charge of its built–in condenser battery to increase the operating time of the instrument and raise the number of measurements without connecting to the network - more details at the link.

Versatility and weight of the appliance are especially critical for organizations responsible for facility commissioning that have to constantly carry heavy weights of instruments and equipment for significant distances.

MIKO-2.3 instrument is easy to use and maintain, reliable and resistant to electromagnetic field influence.

MIKO-2.3 input cables are equipped with crocodile clips with G-cramps of unique design that has no analogues by other manufacturers of instruments. This design ensures quick and faultless connection to an object that excludes errors of measurement of small resistance values, and ensures reliable contact even in case of oxygenated surfaces of an object.

Besides, there is an option of a four-clamp connection of the instrument cables to circuit-breaker bushings and to transformers through external potential contacts.

    • PKV/M7 circuit breaker analyzer (since 2012);
    • MIKO-1 microohmmeter (since 2014);
    • MIKO-2.3 micromillikiloohmmeter (since 2019).

    PKV/M7 circuit breaker analyzer proved to be reliable, there was not a single case of failure. The device allows to measure several parameters in one measurement cycle, which significantly reduces the total time spent on assessment of the circuit breaker technical condition. The ability to use local and remote start expands the application area of this instrument.

    MIKO-1 microohmmeter has established itself as a simple, unpretentious in use, but quite accurate device. It is compact, and its test cables are flexible, therefore the work might be done even at low temperatures.

    MIKO-2.3 device is easy to use due to its small size. The device is equipped with a convenient and useful carrying bag in that you can put all the accessories and test cables. Additionally, we purchased test cables of different lengths and different other accessories that made it easier to work with the device on various equipment. During the use of the device, no failures in its operation were detected.

    We express our gratitude to SKB EP, LLC for the production of high-quality and reliable devices and we recommend the use of these devices to companies of various activity types.

    Electrotechnical Laboratory of the Yaroslavl Power Supply Distance of the Northern Energy Supply Directorate

    To date, the following devices are in operation in the electrotechnical laboratory of the Yaroslavl Power Supply Distance of the Northern Energy Supply Directorate: MIKO-2.3, MIKO-7, PKR-1 and PKV/M7.

    These devices are used in conducting a comprehensive survey of electrical equipment of substations, such as power and converter transformers, high-voltage circuit breakers, and disconnectors. During the tests, SKB EP devices gave a good account of their reliability, stability of operation, and ease of use. When using the above-mentioned devices, total measurement time was reduced.

    The use of PKR-1 OLTC analyzer made it possible to more accurately determine the defects of the power transformer and tap changing device during a comprehensive check-up. The most frequently diagnosed damages are burning and adjustment of the contactor contacts of the tap changing device. The second most common defect is the burning of circuit breaker contacts. One of these defects was confirmed by the visual inspection.

    The use of MIKO-2.3 and MIKO-7 devices that are dedicated to the resistance measurement in inductive circuits gave the greatest reduce of measurement time. When using an AC bridge, one resistance measurement of the 110 kV transformer winding lasted about 1.5 minutes. When using MIKO-2.3 or MIKO-7 devices, the time spent on one measurement was reduced to 30 seconds.

    PKV/M7 circuit breaker analyzer is used for a comprehensive assessment of the state of high-voltage circuit breakers. As the main direction was chosen the assessment of SF6 circuit breakers of MKP-110 type. There is a big survey conducted of SF6 circuit breakers installed instead of oil circuit breakers. The use of PKV/M7 circuit breaker analyzer has reduced the time spent on the diagnostics of circuit breakers, and increased the accuracy of the data obtained. Previously, the measurements of the moving parts movement and compression were controlled by a ruler with oil drained from the circuit breaker tank. PKV/M7 circuit breaker analyzer is, first of all, more comfortable to use and has better accuracy comparing to the previously used methods.

    Having experience in the operation of SKB EP devices since 2016, we can definitely recommend the use of these devices for diagnostics of energy facilities.
