PKR-2 is intended for demountable diagnostics of OLTC of all types (both resistor and reactor type) being a part of and not included in a power transformer.

PKR-2 enables diagnostic of OLTC devices manufactured by: Huaming, MR, ABB, Hyundai Heavy Industries-Bulgaria.

The switchover oscillography enables to detect the actuation delay, non-simultaneity of in phase actuation and bouncing during switchover.

All characteristics are taken:

PKR-2 is completed with a special transducer for circular diagram recording. Its interface with shafts of different drives is provided with a set of axes and bushings, which are installed without any tools by simply putting on the shaft protrusion.

All characteristics are taken:

No additional elements (for example, resistors) or knowledge of resistances of current-limiting resistors of the checked OLTC device are required to measure the parameters. All adjustments to a specific OLTC are performed automatically in the instrument.

Reactor OLTCs can be checked in a static mode with the help of PKR-2 device. The user rotates the drive shaft with the handle from the standard complete set in slow motion. And at this time the moments of contacts closing / opening are displayed on the display of the device in degrees and in values of voltage and current.

For the convenience of direct connection to the contacts of the OLTC, when the tank is opened with partial or complete oil drain, PKR-2 is equipped with special long probes.

Without contact probes connection to the OLTC can be done by using a cable with crocodile clamps. In this case, partial or complete oil drain should be carried out from the contactor tank, or OLTC should be completely removed from the transformer tank.


The instrument is equipped with a large sensor color graphic display that enables to represent information in graphical or tabular form. High brightness and contrast make it easier to process the graphs.

Measurement results are stored in the non-volatile memory of the instrument, or they may be transferred to the PC.

Moreover, the instrument may be controlled by instrument keyboard, sensor display, or PC. The last mentioned function allows you to record diagrams while sitting with a PC in a car, which is important and comfortable during the cold season.

The instrument meets the electromagnetic compatibility requirements to Class A equipment according to GOST R 51522.1-2011.

The instrument meets the safety requirements to electric control and measuring instruments and laboratory equipment according to GOST R52319-2005.

    CAPITAL-STROY DIAGNOSTIKA, LLC

    PKR-2 analyzer for diagnosis of transformer OLTC was procured by our company in 2014. Measurements were started in 2015. Measurements were performed on 110kV transformers with OLTS of РНТ-13, РНТ-20, РС-3, РС-4, and РС-9 types.

    The instrument is easy to use, it has many useful functions. The  PKR-2 allowed identification of the following problems of the OLTC operation:

    • Wear of arch extinguishing contacts;
    • Resistors damage;
    • Unacceptable travels in the shaft fixing nodes;
    • Shaft shifts;
    • Incorrect connection of taps. 


    Measurements using PKR-2 were two or three times faster than those by conventional methods. The instrument is rather convenient in operation.

    The analyzer can be recommended to other companies for use.

    Engineering Center EnergoRazvitie, LLC

    EnergoRazvitie Engineering Center, LLC reports that the MIKO-9A, PKR-2M, MIKO-2.3, PKV/M7 instruments operated by our organization, manufactured and delivered by your enterprise, meet the requirements for them. The equipment and functionality of the devices are provided in accordance with the order.

    The MIKO-2.3 instrument and the control instrument for high-voltage circuit breakers PKV/M7 are actively used by our organization in measuring the contact resistance of contacts of high-voltage circuit breakersIn particular, gas-insulated core circuit breakers of the ELF type SP7-2 at 500 kV manufactured by ABB. MIKO-2.3 is convenient to use due to its small size. The current generated by the device allows you to burn through the contact and get stable readings of the transition resistance. The advantage of the device is also the combination of potential and current circuits in two terminals and taking into account the own resistance of the wires included in the kit. In general, MIKO-2.3 allows you to reduce the measurement time and get stable and reliable results. However, it is worth paying attention to the fast discharge of the battery when using a microohmmeter, which determines the dependence of the instrument on the availability of the mains. Test leads for 500 kV circuit breakers must be of a minimum length of 10 meters with reliable and convenient clamps for connection, and this requires additional specification of the order.

    Circuit breaker analyzer PKV/M7 is simple and convenient to operate, it allows you to control the main characteristics of high-voltage switching devices. The positive thing is that in one measurement cycle the device allows you to measure several parameters, which significantly reduces the processing time and assess the technical condition of the circuit breaker. A small number of contact cables and the use of different instrument connectors make it possible to reduce the likelihood of personnel errors when assembling the test circuit. PKV/M7 is a universal device that allows you to control the parameters of high-voltage circuit breakers, and can be safely recommended to organizations involved in the commissioning and operation of high-voltage equipment.

    The MIKO-9A instrument is used to test power transformers and autotransformers. In particular, in May 2020, the device was successfully tested on the ATDCTN-250000/220/110 autotransformer. MIKO-9A is equipped with a wide range of test leads, (it is possible to measure three-phase circuit), which makes it possible to quickly perform a large number of measurements, reducing connection operations, with a minimum of specialists.

    The presence of a built-in high-capacity battery allows measurements in the field, regardless of the availability of the mains. The device is very convenient to use (the presence of automatic mode, an important demagnetization option for the transformer, a convenient and intuitive interface), is small and lightweight.

    The PKR-2M instrument is used to check the technical condition of switching devices of transformers of all types, both resistor and reactor, using the collapsible method, as well as for diagnosing on-load tap-changers with current-limiting resistors without removing the contactor tank cap. The presence of a built-in battery increases its mobility and ease of use. Equipped with long probes (optional) and a cable with crocodile clamps, it makes it easy to connect to most on-load tap-changers.

    The use of these instruments allows our specialists to reduce the time of testing and measurement. These devices these devices are good to use, correspond to the declared characteristics and surpass in many aspects similar devices from other manufacturers.
