• Quick and easy check for opens or shorts on transformers or capacitors before energizing
• Provides clear indications of open circuits, short connections and confirmation that the test results are OK
• Tests overhead, pad-mount and other distribution transformers as well as capacitors and capacitor banks
• Tests the primary and secondary sides of de-energized transformers and capacitors without disconnecting
• Helps prevent line workers from installing a fuse on a shorted transformer or capacitor

The TILT II Transformer Testers and the Quick-Check Transformer and Capacitor Testers provide quick and easy tests for opens and shorts on power distribution systems. They operate with a single push-button and provide clear indications of open circuits, short circuits and confirmation that the test results are OK.

The TILT II (Transformer Initial Livening Tester) Transformer Tester is a versatile tool for quick and easy checks of transformers and the connections made to them. In the field, the TILT II is used to test the primary and secondary sides of a new or reworked, single or three-phase transformer installation for short circuits prior to energizing. The TILT II can test the secondary sides of transformers and all the connections made to them, up to and including the meter, prior to energizing. Unlike a simple ohmmeter, the TILT II can differentiate a true short from the low instance of a transformer winding

In the shop, the TILT II can be used for quick screening of incoming and outgoing transformers for both primary and secondary shorts or opens (including internal fuses and breakers).The TILT II tests both 1Ø and 3Ø transformers, including potential transformers and other instrument transformers.

The Quick-Check performs all the same transformer tests as the TILT II, and also tests capacitors and capacitor banks. The Quick-Check uses the same single push-button operation as the TILT II and automatically distinguishes between transformers and capacitors. The Quick-Check tests capacitors individually or connected in capacitor banks. The Capacitor O.K. indication confirms that the capacitor is not internally shorted or open.

Both units are available with either manual self-test tabs on the side of the unit or automatic self-test. The units will automatically perform a complete self-test of the battery, lights, beeper and all electronics every time the TEST button is pushed. A magnet is also available for hands-free operation.
