1 Introduction
Applications
The MTO106 is mainly intended for field
measurements of smaller transmission and distribution
transformers:
▪▪To verify factory test readings
▪▪As part of a regular maintenance program.
▪▪To help locate the presence of defects in transformers
such as increased contact resistance in terminal
connections and tap changers.
The instrument can also be used for general resistance
measurements of for instance control wiring, voltage
regulators, motors, generators and all types of
connections.
Warranty repair
▪▪Equipment returned to the factory for repair must be
shipped prepaid and insured.
▪▪Contact your Megger representative for instructions and a
return authorization (RA) number.
▪▪Indicate all pertinent information, including problem
symptoms.
▪▪Specify the serial number and the catalog number of the
unit.
▪▪If you need to return the instrument, please use either the
original crate or one of equivalent strength.
2 Safety
Maintenance
1. DISCONNECT the MAINS plug before any
cleaning or maintenance.
2. Refer all servicing to Megger authorized
personnel.
Do not attempt to service the instrument
yourself. If you attempt to service the instrument
the warranty is no longer valid.
3. Read and understand Safety in the User
Manual before performing any service.
4. Routine maintenance is all that is required
for these test sets. The cables and connector
panel should be inspected frequently to be
sure all connections are tight and all ground
connections intact.
5. Cleaning - Use a damp cloth for cleaning. Do
not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.

5.3 Manual
demagnetization of a
transformer
The MTO106 does not include and automated
demagnetization feature and demagnetization, if
deemed necessary, must be performed manually
according to the method below.
1] Run a normal winding resistance test accord-
ing to the instructions in section "4.2 Testing
Single and Dual windings" on page 12.
2] Swap the terminals, preferably by swapping
the Kelvin clamps, select the next lower test
current and inject current until the current
reading has reached at least 50% of the set
value.
3] Repeat step 2 for each test current range
down to the lowest selectable test current
value.
