MIKO-9A milli-ohmmeter is developed to measure DC resistance in the range of 1 µΩ - 30 kΩ with test current up to 10 А, as well as to generate oscillograms of a switching contactor in the high-speed OLTC; it also provides for demagnetization and "Heat Run Test".
MIKO-9A diagnostic objects:
Windings of power and instrument transformers, windings of electric motors, generators, linear compensators and windings of other high-inductive equipment;
Contacts of circuit breakers, resistors, buses and other non-inductive circuit;
Compensatory, current limiting and other resistors of high-voltage circuit breakers;
Сables.
Test current range is specified both in automatic and manual modes; resistance measurement range is set automatically. The instrument ensures fully automated resistance measurement of highly inductive load and thermal EMF balancing in external circuit.
MIKO-9A implements specialized measurement modes for various configurations of 11 objects (resistive object, inductive object, voltage transformer, current transformer and power transformer, generator, motor, reactor, compensator, connection filter and magnet), taking into account their specific features. The user can select a standard object from the list, or create his own object.
The device automatically takes into account the configuration of the object for setting measurement modes.

Depending on the object type, special measurement modes can be selected. For a resistive object, the modes are completely similar to the MIKO-8М(А), and for an inductive object, in addition to the two modes MANUAL and AUTO 1Ph, you can select AUTO 3Ph and 2 WINDINGS.
AUTO 3Ph makes it possible to simultaneously connect to three phases of the transformer and take measurements with automatic switching between them. This mode reduces the amount of reconnecting to/from the object under test.
AUTO 1Ph and AUTO 3Ph modes have SKB EP patented automatic measurement method that guarantees results with the highest accuracy.
It is achieved by setting the max test current in the measurement circuit not on a staggered basis (depending on the value of the measured resistance), but continuously w/o fixed measurement ranges in a wide load range.
This measurement mode provides high signal level in a complex electromagnetic environment of industrial production or substation. Moreover, in AUTO modes of the measurement process the instrument produces the highest current that enables guaranteed saturation of the transformer magnetic system.
Depending on the object type, special measurement modes can be selected. For a resistive object, the modes are completely similar to the MIKO-8М(А) device, and for an inductive object, in addition to the three modes MANUAL, AUTO 1Ph and AUTO 3Ph, you can choose 2 WINDINGS mode.
This mode enables resistance measurement simultaneously on two windings, and guarantees a quick and reliable measurement of the electrical resistance of heavy power transformers, in particular, with secondary windings delta connected when using traditional methods does not give a stable result.
The device indicates which phases should be connected to accelerate the measurement process, taking into account the distribution of magnetic fluxes in the magnetic circuit. In addition, the simultaneous measurement of two windings reduces the total number of test cable reconnection from 6 to 3.
Demagnetization mode is designed to eliminate the remnant magnetism of the transformer magnetic core. It is compulsory to be made before open-circuit test, short-circuit loss measurement, transformation ratio measurement, etc.
The instrument can be used for demagnetization of both single-phase and three-phase transformers. Magnetic core demagnetization requires alternating current applied to the corresponding winding bidirectionally.
Demagnetization is performed automatically. Current decreases with each direction change. Each rod of a three-phase transformer is subjected to demagnetization.
Current change is at the same time displayed in a graph form to control demagnetization accuracy. Demagnetization stops automatically when the current reaches threshold value or upon the user’s command
OLTC non-demountable check mode allows the user to assess the state of the switching OLTC equipment with current limiting resistors without removing the contactor tank cover.
This mode involves measuring of instant test current values. Test current firstly passes through the transformer winding and then through OLTC contacts at switching from one tap to another. The DRM graph is built on the basis of the measurement results and shows current change during tap changing. This graph enables to check tap changing time and general object state.
Analysis of the acquired graphs enables not only to sort out OLTC by fault-free/faulty criteria but also to define the nature of the defect eliminating the opening of fault-free OLTCs. Milli-ohmmeter mode and DRM test complement each other and provide the user comprehensive information about the transformer state.
The test is performed by continuous measurement and periodic result saving of the transformer winding resistance (recalculated to t°) during the cooling process of the winding.
To receive the most reliable information about the max winding t° the user should connect the instrument to the winding and start the measurement immediately after the transformer heating is stopped.
Before the start of the measurement process the user has to specify winding, phase, max measurement duration, frequency of measurement results saving, winding resistance and temperature under normal conditions. Correlation between the winding temperature and the time can be represented in tabular or graphical form. The time is counted from the moment of the measurement start. Heat run test stops automatically on expiry of preset test duration or manually by the user.
MIKO-9A has a built-in archive of up to 1,000 measurements for viewing, copying or deleting data. And due to the possibility of choosing an object at the measurement stage, the results are presented more systematically. This facilitates interaction with the archive.
The group of MIKO-7M(A), MIKO-8M(A) and MIKO-9A instruments has a number of automatic recalculation functions:
Auto δ calculation of Rphasebetween one another.
Auto conversion of Rlinear to Rphase. Linear windings are Delta or Star without neutral connected.
Auto correction of R measured at t° to R at t°p taking into account the winding material.
Auto δ calculation between Rcorrected and Rp.
Auto calculation of t° by its R.
Measurement results are automatically saved to the non-volatile memory and can be later processed by special software on PC or transmitted via Bluetooth to a smartphone.
MIKO-9A has the safety certificate IEC 61010-1. The instrument also meets the requirements of electromagnetic compatibility that are applied to class A instruments according to IEC 61326-1.
The instrument has a high degree of protection against:
test cable or mains cable breakdown;
excess of test current;
EMF of self-induction;
overheat of the test block.
At disconnection of the test cable from transformer bushings or from the instrument as well as at disconnection of the mains cable from the mains in the course of measurement, EMF of self-induction of up to several kV is generated in the disconnected circuit and the electric arc appears in the break point.
MIKO-9A is characterized by the redundant protection against EMF of self-induction in case of involuntary disconnection of the test cable or mains cable protecting users from electric shock and the instrument from being damaged.
MIKO-9A instrument can be powered from the mains (AC 90-253 V, 47-63 Hz // DC 127-354 V) or from a built-in battery.
Color graphic display of high brightness ensures easy reading on a sunny day, whereas intuitively understandable interface with a sensor display facilitates the instrument use.
The instrument can be manipulated either from the film keyboard or from the sensor display, as suits.
The instrument can be built into the testing systems under control of software complexes of test laboratories and equipment manufacturers. It is supported by Modbus RTU Protocol.
