« Reply #1 on: February 01, , 06:46:35 pm » Let’s put it this way: if you don’t thoroughly understand why and when you’d want an isolation transformer, and what it does and doesn’t protect you from, then you shouldn’t work on mains-powered stuff yet, specifically, things with a live chassis.If you get one, make sure you don’t let it lull you into a sense of false security, such that you actually let your guard down around mains voltages.
As for the specific question of using one to isolate all of your test equipment: an emphatic no!!!!
If you want to add safety to your bench, install a sensitive GFCI (more sensitive than the one your home may already have installed).

« Reply #2 on: February 01, , 06:52:54 pm »Just asking because I'm fitting out my workbench and wondered if I shouldn't isolate all of the equipment from the mains with the aid of an isolation transformer then do noise filtering on it.
Why no grounding on isolation transformers?
There's probably not a good reason to do so and most test equipment will isolate their innards from the mains anyway via the power supply transformer or whatever. Y-cap leakage can still be an issue in some cases though.
Isolation transformers typically pass through the ground connection but that is a separate issue. You typically would not want to break that ground, certainly not by default. A 3.5 digit 4.5 digit 5 digit 5.5 digit 6.5 digit 7.5 digit DMM is good enough for most people.

« Reply #5 on: February 01, , 07:11:27 pm »Not for this one apparently:
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/
You don't want that for powering your bench unless you plan on modifying it with a ground somewhere. It might be appropriate for powering a DUT in certain cases, but I don't like the fact that it has an earth socket that isn't connected to anything. If there was a device to measure the voltage at that isolated earth socket to actual earth and disconnect the power if that potential rises above SELV voltage, then it might be acceptable. A 3.5 digit 4.5 digit 5 digit 5.5 digit 6.5 digit 7.5 digit DMM is good enough for most people.

« Reply #8 on: February 01, , 10:26:20 pm » An electrostatic shield between windings greatly reduces capacitive coupling of high-frequency common-mode garbage (on line and neutral) to the secondary, and such a transformer usually connects the PE ground to the output.Topaz transformers used to be popular in critical laboratory applications, and can be found at surplus vendors and eBay, but seem to be hard to locate since Schneider bought SquareD.
They look nice and have very low primary-secondary capacitance.
Here are some at a large US surplus vendor: https://www.surplussales.com/class/inductor/isolation_1k-4k.html
I couldn't find anything Googling for Schneider Topaz. « Last Edit: February 01, , 10:28:09 pm by TimFox » The following users thanked this post: bigfoot22

« Reply #9 on: February 01, , 11:29:48 pm » I have a medical grade toroidal isolation transformer dual voltage windings primary and secondary and an electrostatic shield that I rewired the secondary so that I can easily disconnect the output receptacle from the input mains ground via a jumper link on the front where it is readily visible as to the ground status. This also allows connecting a jumper to an ammeter etc in the ground circuit or to connect to an isolated ground. The ground binding posts are connected to 4mm banana jacks on the side of the case.I also installed a switch type circuit breaker and 4mm banana jacks on the output.
It has come in handy in a few cases but it certainly doesn't reside on the bench top. The following users thanked this post: bigfoot22

Re: Do you guys use an isolation transformer for your lab/workbench?
« Reply #10 on: February 01, , 11:36:52 pm »Yeah I have no intentions of using it for my lab/workbench after reading your helpful replies. If it doesn't pass through earth then its dangerous anyway. I'll get an RCD/GFCI for my setup.And get CAT rated high voltage differential probes. These are very affordable (from MicSig for example) and will provide safety while measuring in mains powered circuits.
Also think long and hard if you even need to provide mains power to a mains powered device. Switching power supplies always have a low voltage supply in the primary side. If you use a bench power supply to power the primary side (and a different channel to apply some power to the secondary side) you can test 99.9% of a power supply without even connecting it to mains. There are small lies, big lies and then there is what is on the screen of your oscilloscope. The following users thanked this post: bigfoot22

Re: Do you guys use an isolation transformer for your lab/workbench?
« Reply #11 on: February 02, , 05:09:31 am » I have one that does about 100W, made by taking apart two halogen lamp transformers and reassembling one with two primary windings. I use it more for the current limiting although the isolation is definitely a plus.For more power, I run a W power inverter from a surplus W server PSU. It's rare that I have to do that, even working on fairly large PSUs the 100W isolation transformer is sufficient to see if it at least powers up correctly. Cryptocurrency has taught me to love math and at the same time be baffled by it.

Re: Do you guys use an isolation transformer for your lab/workbench?
« Reply #12 on: February 02, , 09:13:38 am » Study isolation transformers in detail till you understand what type for what task,how to test the actual level of input to output 'isolation', chassis relations,
and that it will do the task before using it,
but not before understanding the source of the incoming power from your mains switchboard first, the earth bond/grounding thing etc
It's actually SUPER SIMPLE even using generic isolation transformers once you have understood the above,
with the wiring option of various degrees of 'isolation' from the mains and or connected suspect equipment etc
My rig has the option of any type of isolation needed,
regulated, varied or limited AC,
and options to use GFCI or RCD,
and be able to externally test trip them also to ensure they actually do work
i.e. If risky business I simulate the snafu first, then hook up and power up
and there's a UPS rig too but that's another story as to how it's transformer works on backup disconnected from the mains
My intentions when learning about this stuff were really to be personally 'isolated' from hospital beds
and or a one time permanent earth/ground connection, after a few good overconfident idiot zaps and walkaways over the years.
'Isolation' has way too many variables for people unfamiliar with all the voodoo and confusion,
to either zap their equipment and themselves,
or cop spark shrapnel in the eyes,
or worse still, send panic'd kitty and fido packing down the street
into an oncoming beer swilling, bad hair day, 'friday tradie' ute, with cranked up mindless detuned metal mayhem trash.
Isolation: No research? = No Do !

« Reply #14 on: February 02, , 06:09:02 pm »If you want to add safety to your bench, install a sensitive GFCI (more sensitive than the one your home may already have installed).
In the US, UL standard 943 covers GFCI devices and they trip at 4 to 6 mA of ground current. I don't think you will find anything more sensitive. These are used for individual branch circuits, we do not trip the panel main breaker with a GFCI nor do we use something like the UK RCD device. Typical ratings are for 125/250V up to 50A
It is my understanding (from a quick read on Google) that UK RCD devices trip at 18..23 mA (30 mA max).

« Reply #15 on: February 02, , 06:54:31 pm »The US is a bit of an anomaly in this regard, in that it uses very low current GFCIs. Elsewhere in the world, 30mA is typical. At my previous job (vocational training center) here in Switzerland, they have 10mA GFCIs protecting each workbench, both so they trip sooner if there’s a fault, and so that it won’t take out the entire lab if there is.

Re: Do you guys use an isolation transformer for your lab/workbench?
« Reply #16 on: February 02, , 09:39:07 pm » I've heard they can be useful for some forms of high (mains) voltage work, haven't really looked in to the accuracy of such rumours or reasons behind them, but for lower voltage stuff I'd expect they could be a practical menace. Lets put it this way, the things you're designing are probably going to end up being battery powered or run from wall wart supplies, either being imperfect. If you get used to producing designs in a "perfected" environment where everything is isolated from the ground to avoid some particular sort of noise then things you design might then not work in the real world where that noise is present and the isolation isn't.That said, a lot of low voltage stuff will be isolated anyway, low voltage wall warts are floating and ungrounded relative to mains. And bench power supplies often have a phsyically grounded pin socket on them, but unless you use it the supplies will be floating relative to mains. The following users thanked this post: bigfoot22

Re: Do you guys use an isolation transformer for your lab/workbench?
« Reply #17 on: February 03, , 12:44:19 am » Hi bigfoot22,tooki's first post sincerely provides you with good advice.
When I have to probe into a device (DUT) with mains/live exposed parts (like boards with in situ SMPS), I do not use an isolation transformer (even if I've got one).
My DUT is powered via a 10mA RCD/GFCI (trips at about 6-8 mA) and the sole allowed TE are first tier (bench) multimeters with IEC compliant accessories, and a truly isolated oscilloscope (Scopemeter) with adequate fully isolated probes.
You may also check out these test leads with selectable safety category and double-insulated silicon wire. Same stuff but with banana connexion.
Another set from Pomona.
If the DUT has a metallic enclosure, I always use a strong alligator clip to make an additional link from chassis to earth.
Even if it's not practical, wearing class 00 or class 0 insulated gloves provides an additional level of safety. « Last Edit: February 03, , 01:27:25 am by timeandfrequency » The following users thanked this post: tooki, bigfoot22

Bob has you covered: www.bobthewelder.com.au/products/xt-left-handed-welding-gloves-green-long
---------------------
FWIW folks: 30ma RCDs rarely trip at 30ma
Anywhere from 15 to 28ma is what usually happens, and a good unit will have about 2 to 3ma repeatability
i.e. test the suckers properly before trusting your life and gear with them,
better still, use two RCDs piggy backed.
One of the two 'may' trip 'faster', or both will work if the trip current approaches zap city.
But they won't do you much good with an electrical fault or short in the chain, so..FUSE UP, just past the DUTs current rating,
and you won't need an imitation rabbits foot or garlic necklace

I already use Nitrile gloves. A highly coveted stockpile of exactly 1 box of them. Got no idea where I'm going to get the second box from but that is a problem for the future.
Once your hands get sweaty in those, you better think of possible conductivity consequences,
especially if there's a pinhole or paper cut slice you can't see, especially if salt is a favorite in your diet.
I usually have cheap thin cotton gloves on first, then work large nitrile or similar gloves over. You get a few good dry hours use from that.
Or if it has to be tight thin nitriles for finicky handling, then I swap them over for dry ones once I feel the hands getting sweaty
The sweaty gloves get 'flipped out' and put out to dry etc
= a bit hard to put on again, but the effort is great for the wallet

Transformer Comprehensive Test Bench Test Type
The transformer comprehensive test bench is a professional equipment that integrates multiple test functions and is suitable for the performance evaluation of power transformers and distribution transformers. The equipment not only supports no-load and load characteristic tests, but also can perform double-frequency induction withstand voltage tests and power frequency withstand voltage tests. It is widely used in transformer manufacturing, installation and commissioning, and operation and maintenance.
For more detailed information, please click RDTBT.
For the latest product quotes, please contact us.
1. Efficient and friendly operation interface
Equipped with a 320×240 high-brightness LCD screen with adjustable screen brightness to adapt to different ambient light. Supports full Chinese menus and operation prompts to simplify the use process and allow users to quickly get started.
2. Flexible parameter management
Up to 40 sets of test parameters can be pre-stored, which is convenient for users to quickly switch according to test requirements. Supports deletion and addition of parameters to achieve flexible experimental management.
3.Accurate measurement capability
It can accurately measure core parameters such as no-load current, no-load loss, short-circuit voltage, etc., providing a reliable basis for transformer performance analysis.
4.Safety design and reliability
Equipped with an emergency stop button and a multi-level protection mechanism to ensure safe operation.Wide temperature adaptability and high reliability design enable the equipment to operate stably in different seasons and complex environments.
1. No-load test
The no-load test is used to evaluate the electrical characteristics of the transformer under no-load conditions, such as no-load current and no-load loss, which mainly reflects the quality of the core material and design.
Operation steps:
1. Connect the main console of the test bench to the auxiliary console through the aviation plug line.
2. Ensure that the "three-phase four-wire" of the test bench is correctly connected to the main power supply.
3. Connect the "voltage regulator input" and "voltage regulator output" terminals to the voltage regulator, and connect the low-voltage side of the transformer at the same time.
4. Close the air switch, turn on the control power lock switch, and start the power supply of the no-load tester. The instrument interface displays the initialization status.
5. Set the test parameters, including the target voltage and current gear (operate according to the manual of the no-load tester).
6. Press the "three-phase closing" button to start closing and observe whether the three-phase closing indicator light is on.
7. Press the boost button to slowly increase the voltage to the target value while observing the voltage meter and ammeter readings.
8. After reaching the target value, record the test data, which can be directly printed or saved through the instrument.
9. Press the "three-phase opening" button, and the device automatically reduces the voltage to zero to complete the test.
2. Load test
The load test simulates the working conditions of the transformer under load, measures the short-circuit voltage and load loss, and provides important data for operating efficiency analysis.
Operation steps
1. Similar to the no-load test, but connect the high-voltage side of the transformer to the test bench and short-circuit the low-voltage side.
2. Follow the steps of the no-load test to complete power supply access, equipment initialization and parameter setting.
3. Increase the voltage until the load current reaches the target value, and record the current, voltage and loss data.
4. During the test, if any abnormal phenomenon occurs, press the emergency stop button immediately, the equipment automatically reduces the voltage and terminates the test.
If you want to learn more, please visit our website Haoshuo.
5. After the test, print the test report through the instrument.
3. High-voltage characteristic test
The high-voltage characteristic test is used to detect the reliability of the transformer insulation system and the change of short-circuit impedance, which is particularly suitable for precision testing needs on site or in factories.
Operation steps:
1. Connect the test bench, intermediate transformer, current transformer and transformer under test to ensure that the line is correct.
2. Set the test parameters, especially the high-voltage range and protection current value.
3. Press the "three-phase closing" button to gradually increase the voltage to the target voltage and closely observe the real-time data displayed by the device.
4. Record the voltage, current and power factor at the end of the test to determine whether the high-voltage performance of the transformer meets the expected standards.
5. Reduce the voltage according to the procedure and end the test after ensuring that the equipment is safely returned to its position.
4. Inductive withstand voltage test
The inductive withstand voltage test uses a double-frequency voltage to test the insulation performance of the transformer and verify its long-term operating reliability under high voltage.
Operation steps:
1. Connect the generator output to the test bench and ensure that the "inductive output" is connected to the transformer under test.
2. Set the time relay and preset the time required for withstand voltage.
3. After starting the generator, slowly increase the voltage to the target value and maintain a stable state.
4. Observe the reading of the withstand voltage output meter. If there is no abnormality, keep the test until the time is over.
5. After the test is completed, the equipment automatically reduces the voltage, and the test data is saved or printed at the end.
5. Power frequency withstand voltage test
The power frequency withstand voltage test is used to comprehensively evaluate the power frequency voltage tolerance of the transformer insulation system, and is often used as an important part of factory testing and routine testing.
Operation steps:
1. Connect the test bench to the transformer under test, including "power frequency output" and instrument connection.
2. Set the withstand voltage time and target voltage parameters, and confirm that safety measures are in place.
3. Press the "power frequency closing" button to gradually increase the voltage to the target value, while observing the withstand voltage meter reading.
4. While maintaining the withstand voltage, pay attention to the alarm indication and equipment status to ensure the safety of the test.
5. After the test is completed, the equipment automatically reduces the voltage, and the test report can be directly generated after completion.
1. Wiring standardization
Before each test, check in detail whether the wiring is firm, especially the grounding connection. Incorrect wiring may lead to deviation in test results or even damage to the equipment.
2. Emergency handling
3. Data storage and backup
The transformer comprehensive test bench is an important tool in the field of power equipment testing. Its comprehensive functions and high operational flexibility make it a core device in transformer performance evaluation. By optimizing the test process and strengthening the safety performance of the equipment, the test bench provides a solid guarantee for the stable operation of the power system while improving the test efficiency and data reliability.
