Measurement principle
The hot line winding resistance measuring instrument mainly is composed of a measur ement
current output part and a voltage detecting part like other resist ance measuring instrument s.
However, it is designed so that it can measure r esistances, even if AC voltage is impressed
unlike other resist ance measuring in struments. Therefore, the filter from w hich AC current is
removed is inserted in the m

easurement current output circuit. Moreove r, in the vol tage

detecting part, a low pass filter to remove AC voltage so that DC voltage is detected.
Although measuring currents (DC) changes in accordance a range or models, it passes 50mA
- 0.05mA (superposition). This measurement current is fixed and flows only into a specimen. In
addition, since measurement cu rrent shunts toward the pow er supply side if DC blocking
capacitors are not inserted as in

the following figure, the right

measurement cannot be

performed.
Moreover, in a hot line winding

resistance measuring instrument, since 4 terminals

measurement is introduced, a resistance of the measurement cable does not arise.

The alternating voltage currently impressed to the measurement sample is displayed with the
actual value (RMS). The input impedance of AC voltmeter is approximately 10Mohm, and a
blocking capacitor for DC testing current is connected in series with the meter.

Cautions
While the voltmeter is pointing to a value, the corresponding voltage is generated at the tip of the measurement

probe. Do not touch a part for the metal department of the measurement probe with a hand. There is a possibility
of receiving an electric shock.

Since AC voltmeter has high input impedance, when a cable is long, it may cause error on measurement.

Electric shock cautions


Since the main part of a measuring instrument measures a measurement sample under energized (where
voltage is applied), please be sure to take grounding.
In case you measure using this measuring instrument, be careful of handling enough about the measurement
main set and measurement samples.
Please use it after surely reading notes about a measurement probe before measuring.
Please read the instruction manual about connection with a measurement sample.
In performing connection with a measurement sample, be careful of an electric shock enough.

The connection method of a test sample


The set performs direct-current-resistance measurement for a t est sample under ener gized with AC
voltage. In order to prevent that direct-current current flow into the AC supply, a direct-current blocking
capacitor is necessary to between the AC supply and t he sample under test. In order t o connect the
blocking capacitor, it is conv enient to use C-BOX (DAC-CHR-1B) of an option. The d irect-current
blocking capacitor is built in the selection control box (DAC-SCB). The connection method at the time of
selection control box use should follow an attached instructions manual.
As shown in a figure, a measurement power supply is connected to the terminal of AC IN of C-BOX, and
a sample is connected to the terminal of AC OUT. Then, please connect the 4 terminal measurement
probe of exclusive use to the terminal which wants to measure a sample on it.

Electric shock cautions
In case you carry out connection of the measurement sample, please be sure to turn off AC power source of the
test sample.
In case you impress and measure voltage in a sample, please fully check connection.

Please measure by

fixing firmly so that the measurement probe does not separate.


since the voltage (AC) indicated in the voltmeter is impressed to the both ends of a measurement probe
irrespective of t he measurement state (the lamp of a MEAS. button is lighting or putting out lights) of this
measuring instrument while impressing voltage to a sample -- be careful.

Please use it after checking connection, when the blocking capacitor (DAC-CHR-1B) is
used. Moreover, when voltage is applied, please do not touch the terminal by any means.

Measuring method
1. The warm up the measuring set
Turning on t he set, please perform a w arm up about 30 minutes. When measurement starts
immediately after turning on the set, a value may shift, or an error may become large.

2. The calibration check of the measuring set (CAL)


Push the CAL button, check if 400.0 ohms is indicated.

3. Initial measurement
A sample is measured in the state where voltage is not applied. NO HOT of the FILTER button of a
measuring instrument is chosen, and the MEAS button is turned ON to measure..

4. Acquisition of initial measured value

(Ro)

If measured value is stabilized and it will push in order of Ro of the SETTING DATA button, and ENT,
initial resistance (Ro) will be taken into the measuring instrument. At this time, a resistance display
switches automatically, and is chosen, and DISPLAY SELECT (resistance display change button)
changes from R to LED of Ro. If R of DISPLAY SELECT is pushed after that, as for a display, the
value under measurement will be displayed. (In use of DAC-Pt100 of an option, ambient
temperature is simultaneously taken in as an initial temperature (To) of a sample.)
initial resistance can be checked by pushing Ro of DISPLAY SELECT.

Function
DAC-HRT-1

Function
There are various functions in this set, like the hold of the measured value at the time of sample
disconnection, the test of LINE condition, automatic initial setting at the time of selection box
use, or F change, a setup of a temperature coefficient, a set up of an interface, etc. can
be performed.

F0 Data hold
Function

During measurement, when a sample is disconnected (LED of OPEN lights up),

resistance and temperature value indicated are held, and measurement is stopped.
Operation

A key is pressed in order of F, 0, and ENT (also after a setup of initial resistance and

initial temperature, this operation can go int o this function), and ON of MEAS. is pushed an d
measured in t he state where LED of zero button is bl inking. Measurement is ended w hile
resistance (R) just before LED of zero button lights up and a sa mple is disconnected, and the
display of temperature (Tc) had held, when the sample was disconnected during measurement.
The measured value display at the time of a hold will be Hxxxxomega. Please press the key of
ESC, when you cancel a hold. in addition -- even if it pushes ESC -- the function of a function 0
-- -- since it remains as it is, it can ex amine succeedingly. The m ethod of terminating a
function function should press a key in order of F, 0, and ENT, and should change it into the
state where LED of zero button has gone out.

F1 Initial resistance, initial temperature automatic taking in


Function

Only while using the selection control box (DAC-SCB -2) of an option, the initial

resistance and initial temperature (ambient temperature) of all channels, which SCB
uses it, this function is effective and the values are taken in automatically.
Operation

SCB is connected to a sample in the state where voltage is not impressed, and a

key is pressed in order of F, 1, and ENT (LED of one button blinks). A range is chosen
automatically, all channels are switched and initial resistance is taken in. At this time, a
filter serves as NO HOT. After the above operation is completed, LED of F puts out the
light, it ends and LED of ON also switches off MEAS. SCB will be in a heat state.

Cautions
A function function cannot be set up while performing the time of measurement, and CAL (except a part
function).

seeing the quality of the condition of a power supply in the state where the power
supply was turned on electricity to load, and is for choosing a filter and DC cut
capacitor so that a display may be stabilized.
Operation

If a k ey is p ressed in order of F, 2, and E NT, LED of two buttons will blink, and only a

detector is co nnected without passing the direct-current constant current for measurement.
A display is displayed without a unit and a decimal point in the state of R lighting.

A push on

an ESC key cancels this function.

F6 Temperature coefficient setup


Function

Since temperature conversion is carried out, the temperature coefficient of the

conductor of a sample can be set up. It can set up the copper temperature
coefficient 234.5 (at the time of Centigrade: at the time of degrees C [234.5] and
Fahrenheit 454.1 degrees F) and others.
Operation

This apparatus can register the temperature coefficient for carrying out the

temperature conversion of the resistance, chooses one other than copper (fixed value
234.5), and performs temperature conversion.

The selection method of a temperature coefficient


If a key is pressed in order of F and 6, "F6no0" (meaning of F6 and temperature coefficient
registration NO.0) will be displayed on a resistance display part, and, as for a temperature
display part, the temperature coefficient of 234.5 will be displayed at the time of 454.1 and
Centigrade at the time of Fahrenheit.

The registration method of a temperature coefficient


The temperature coefficient registered into temperature coefficient registration as NO.1
now is displayed on a temperature display part as a key pressed in order of F, and 6 and 1.
Then, it will be registered, if the CRL button is pushed, a temperature coefficient is inputted
with a ten key and ENT is pushed. The ranges of the temperature coefficient which can be
registered are 0.1-999.9.

Interface
DAC-HRT-1

Interface
This set is equipped as standard with GP-IB (IEEE488) and a serial (RS-232C) interface, and
remote control is possible by a personal computer etc.
Moreover, it is also possible to print a measurement result by a thermal printer kit (option).

The kind and operating condition of an interface


The interface (it abbreviates to I/F hereafter) with which this set is equipped as standard is as
follows.
GP-IB I/F (IEEE488-1987)
Serial I I/F (RS-232C conformity)
(1) and (2) cannot be used simultaneously. Moreover, since the thermal printer of an option
uses serial I/F, and a concurrent use with GP-IB I/F cannot be performed. The thermal printer of
an option does not operate in the state of remote mode, and controlled by a key operation
(manual operation) of the front panel.

24

Interface GP-IB
DAC-HRT-1

GP-IB (IEEE488)
This interface is connectable with the measurement bus (GP-IB) of the IEEE standard 488-1987.
Thereby, remote control is possible by external controllers (computer etc.).
Character sample: 1234567890 ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

The outline of GP-IB


GP-IB is the interface system which can connect a controller and two or more peripheral
equipment with one bus cable. The GP-IB interface of each set (also including this apparatus)
must set up an address for every set. Although each of these interfaces can take charge of one
of three kinds of a controller, a talker, and a listener, or two or more, the controller function can
await only one kind of the three functions. During operation of a system, only one talker can
send out to a bus line. The controller function specifies the address of the talker and the listener,
and data is transmitted to the listener from the talker, or it specifies the controller itself as the
talker or the listener.

Delimiter
At the time of ATN = 0, the data sent out is called device message. The sign which shows the
end of a message is called delimiter, and the delimiter is chosen as either CR (0DH) or CR-LF
(0DH, 0AH) according to the controller which a user uses.
Moreover, an EOI signal is also effective.

When this equipment is specified as the talker, EOI is

also sent out simultaneously with the delimiter specified above. It can also supply
simultaneously [the above-mentioned delimiter] with EOI and a delimiter at the time of listener
specification. It is also possible to set up only EOI with a delimiter.

Cautions
Although many interface functions of the standard, GP-IB, are defined, since it is impossible to take all
into consideration, the five above-mentioned commands is made the function to correspond by this
set.

Remote local function


Remote does not show the state where the external computer (controller) is controlling the set,
and manual operation cannot be performed. A local means the state where the set can be
operated by manual operation.

Local state
When a power switch is turned on or a REN signal become "H", it will be in this state. In
addition, when a GTL (GO TO LOCLA) message is received, or when equipment's own local
switch is pushed, it will be in this state.

Remote state
In the state of remote one, it is locked except the local switch. If a local switch is pushed at
this time, it will return to a local state and will cancel.

A REN signal will be in a remote state,

if the set receives a listener address by "L."

Local lockout state


It is more powerful than a remote state and is in the remote state which locks all operation
switches including a local switch. Except the instructions from a controller, it does not return
to a local state in this state. If a LLO (LOCAL LOCK OUT) message is received in a remote
state, it will be in this state.

Control code
A control code is restricted to the character string data based on the ASCII code shown in
the following table. Moreover, the multi-state command form of less than 255 characters is
also possible including a delimiter. In this form, when a delimiter is interpreted, a command
is executed. A command and commands is divided and input with

Interface RS-232C
DAC-HRT-1

Serial (RS-232C) Interface


This set has equipped the serial (RS-232C) interface as standard.
It is connectable with the EIA RS-232C serial interface, and this interface is setting this set as a
remote mode state, and can perform the remote control by controllers (computer etc.), and
the output of various data.
Moreover, serial connection of the thermal printer of an option can be made, and
measurement data can be made to print manually by key operation from this set. Please refer
to a thermal printer kit (option) for details.

Outline
RS-232C is one of the serial interfaces standardized.

It is the interface standard as which EIA

(U.S. Electronic Industries Association) in the U.S. determined DTE (Data Terminal Equipment)
and DCE (digital circuit access and terminating equipment) in 1969 based on CCITT advice
(Consulting Committee of International Telegraph & Telephone) V.24 and V28.
An electrical property, the kind of signal line, mechanical specification (connector
specification), etc. are specified, and it is widely used as an interface for input and output of a
modem and a personal computer peripheral device.
Then, although standards, such as addition of a signal line, are revised and the official name
has become "ANSI/EIA-232-E", generally it is called "RS-232C" present still more.

Term
Full-duplex system
Two pairs of communication lines are formed and it is the communication system which
can transmit and receive simultaneously so that the data transmission of both directions may
be possible.

Asynchronous system
It is the transmission system which loads a start bit to the head and a stop bit to the the end,
and takes a bit synchronization for each character.

Start bit
1 bit as in the space state, "0", which transmit first is the signal called a start bit. It is
prepared in order to tell a receiving set about the communication start of data.

Data length
Data length is the number of data bits, and is usually 7 bits or 8 bits.

Parity bit
Parity is for inspecting whether data was sent correctly, when transmitting the data set to
communication.

Stop bit
After finishing sending the number of data bits, it is return to a mark state "1." Furthermore,
the bit showing the time which holds the mark state while data is continuing, and is for
obtaining the time when a receiving set performs data processing.

rate
It shows the maximum of the transmission speed of an interface, and is related to the
performance of both equipment to connect, and the characteristics of a communication
line. It is prescribed by the number of bits which can be transmitted and received in 1
second, and a unit is expressed with bits per second (bps).

Delimiter
The data sent out to a communication line is called data bit, and a character showing the
pause of a transmitting end or a code is called delimiter.
There are CR LF, CR, etc. in a delimiter.

Control code
About a control code, it is the same as that of GP-IB. Please refer to the GP-IB control code
table herein.
44

Interface RS-232C
DAC-HRT-1

The serial interface of this set is communicating with the software handshake system. In case you create a
transceiver program, please be sure to perform reception processing after transmitting processing of the
control code from a computer. On a program, even when unnecessary, after transmission, receiving data
should perform reception processing and should surely process canceling receiving data etc.

The hot line measuring instrument was developed for the purpose of measuring winding
resistance of a motor, a transformer, etc. in the state where it was supplied by voltage.
However, it may be used for the purpose other than this.

Management of the cable with induced voltage itself, and shielding


layer
Resistance of a cable and a shielding layer may be measured as a parameter for managing
the state of the laid cable.
There may be big induced voltages in the cable and the layer which were laid at this time. For
the reason, it will damage with the usual ohm-meter. Even when such induced voltages
appear, provided that the rated voltage should not exceed a voltage, 450V, measurement of
resistance is possible.
In the case of the main cable especially laid by the large-sized factory etc, even the cable
having such big induced energy and comparatively high induced voltage, this hot line
measuring instrument can obtain stable measurements. This measurement is not possible with
normal resistance measuring instrument as well as

the combination of the resistance

measuring instrument and induced voltage removal equipment, which is dealt with at our
company,

About safety study


In the short circuit examination of the transformer in safety test, it examines by short-circuiting
the secondary winding. However, It aims at checking whether as main purposes, the outbreak
of a fire and the failure of apparatus itself by heat has other influence.
Over current protecting instruments such as temperature fuses are inserted in a transformer
which is built into home electronics etc. as safety measures. In case that When the transformer
is to be measured by using the hot line measuring instrument, In order to short-circuit the
secondary side, such protecting instruments may work momentarily and the measurement may
be impossible. Moreover, since the breaker of a power supply etc. works according to
incoming current, it may be unable to measure a comparatively big transformer.
Therefore, a rise-in-heat point may be unable to be checked in the short circuit examination in
such safety test. However, not a short circuit examination but an overload examination can
perform the check of the operating point of temperature fuses.

By controlling a flow of

currents as much as the momentary protection by a short circuit does not work and flowing an
un-usual much current to promote a rise in heat. Thus , the point that temperature fuses may
operate can be checked.

In the case of a controlled specimen


When using the hot line measuring instrument, as described in the testing power supply, a
stable power supply is needed. Therefore, for the motor which is being controlled, the same
phenomenon as the case where an unstable power supply is used may appear. In particular
when feedback keeps working continuously, measured values are fluctuating and not being
stabilized.

Cautions

Control with a personal computer


Since the interface, GP-IB and RS-232C, for

Note:1

the hot line measuring instrument, it can perform
automatic measurement.
However, cautions are required on measuring
many specimens automatically by using an option,

fixed

interval

during

As mentioned before in this

manual, it is s the case where the hot line


measuring instrument being controlled while the
power supply is unsteady and the time constant of
a filter of the measuring set is not considered
properly.

Note:2

However, this is the estimate at the


time of measuring only resistance, and
a value changes with L component,
DC cut capacitors, measurement
ranges (measurement current) of a
coil, etc. in fact.
Moreover, AC
voltage is not applied in this case.
Therefore, when winding resistance of
the transformer by which AC voltage is
applied is measured, data may be
taken in different.
Please refer to the table of "the
influence of measured value and a
temperature equivalent." The table
shows the relation of the temperature
equivalent
and
resolution
when
considering
10
ohms
as
initial
resistance.

For example, when data is immediately taken in after sending a command of a measurement
start Even if the instrument can take in data, this measurement data is not effective.
This is because there is a time constant of the filter which the measuring instrument itself has.
Usually, the time when the true value of measured value can stay in a measuring error of 1%
with a filter 1 takes about 1 sec.

In order for the last digit can stay in a fluctuation even within 1

digit, it takes about 5 sec (notes 1).

The hot line measuring instrument can not give a right

measured data, if such time is disregarded.


Moreover, measured value may not be stabilized even if an increased larger filter on the hot
line measuring instrument is selected, when a power supply is large. In such a case,
if measurement data is taken only once, a proper value which is carrying out up-and-down
change may not be acquired. For the reason, in such case, it is recommended to obtain data
two or more times at a fixed interval after the time of the time constant of a filter, and to
observe which measured data should be taken for expected data. However, when initial
resistance is measured by 5 or more digits, a temperature equivalent (T) is almost the same in
result. Note 2

About Testing power supply 1

MAX 450V(AC)

used for testing. This measuring instrument


passes DC current in a specimen like usual
ohm-meters, and detects the drops voltage of

MAX 1V(DC)

DAC-HRT-1

0V

the specimen. Although DC current passed in


the specimen changes in accordance with
ranges or models, DC current of 1/tens to 1/hundreds is superimposed to the current for the
drive of the specimen.
The drops voltage of DC becomes about 1 V (it changes with models) in the full-scale around.
On the other hand, 450V in AC are impressed at the maximum. AC component is removed with
a low pass filter, and this voltage detects only DC component, and shows it as resistance.
At this time, AC component may be unable to be removed in part, although removed mostly.
As the cause, the stability of an examination power supply and the low pass filter of the hot line
measuring instrument are related. The passage region of the low pass filter of the hot line
measuring instrument line is 0~several Hz, and 50/60Hz of the frequency usually used for
operation can be removed. However, when the testing power supply is unstable, it becomes
impossible to remove in the low pass filter of the hot line instrument.
It may pass a filter, when a power supply variation component is several Hz or less and is a
momentary change like serge, and it may affect the measured resistance. Therefore, it is

Influence of a power supply


When changing the power supply carried out
slowly as shown in the right figure, resistance may

0 V

be unsteady up and down slowly. Although it must


stop such fluctuation completely, when impossible
to stop, the filtering function of hot line is

0 V

strengthened.

0 V

be unsteady up and down slowly. Although it must


stop such fluctuation completely, when impossible
to stop, the filtering function of hot line is

strengthened.
In case of a serge noise as shown in the right
figure, the indicated value of resistance goes up

suddenly, or it falls. After a noise is settled in the


case of such a sudden thing, it returns to the
original numerical value. In addition, the cause by
which the indicated value of hot line is suddenly
unsteady when turning on the power supply is also
the same phenomenon (in order that a power
supply wave may enter suddenly).

supply
About a fundamental inverter power supply
An inverter power supply is equipment which carries out inverse transformation (invert) of
the direct current to exchange further, after changing exchange into a direct current
(convert). Generally, in the inverter power supply, such equipment or a circuit may be used
inside.
Moreover, the kind of inverter power supply is divided roughly by a use, the drive system
(PWM and Pulse Amplitude Modulation), etc.

wave or Inverter power source.

They are specified and divided in accordance


with the wave of an output.
The output wave of the inverter power supply of PWM is a stairs-like output. This is because
the transistor of an output is switched and controlled so that a current wave form becomes
a sine wave. Moreover, an inverter power supply generates many noises by this switching
operation. The frequency component of a noise changes in accordance with the carrier
frequency (About 1 k-15 kHz; investigation of our company) of an inverter power supply.
The merit of an inverter power supply is that a miniaturization is possible in energy saving.
Moreover, it is easy to control by changing frequency to control rotation etc. However, as
stated also like the point, since there are many noises, other apparatus may be affected if
neither installation nor wiring is taken care of.

Hot line corresponding to an inverter output


Although weve checked that DAC-HRI -2 is corresponding to the inverter output with PWM
system, in other inverter system -- when there being many those kinds differently in
installation and control, there are many elements which have affected measurement and
they are not offering the guarantee that measurement is possible in all these inverter
systems for the moment.

Although checking currently on delivery with only PWM system,

we think that measurement can be performed, if only the false sine wave is a stable state
theoretically.

The inverter power supply of a sine wave output


As stated first, there some specimen outputting voltage in a sine wave is called an inverter
power supply. They are used for the power supply for an examination etc., and the many
are efficient in featuring energy saving compared with the conventional ones. Moreover,
although the circuit is also compactly and cheap compared with the conventional ones,
the noise by such inverter may have occurred increasingly on the contrary.
The above inverter power source can be fundamentally measured also with DAC-HRT -1
and DAC-HRE -1 other than DAC-HRI-2 corresponding to such inverter for a sine wave
output. However, since many noises are generated in these power sources, when
measures by DAC-HRT -1 or DAC-HRE -1, measured data may be unsteady or malfunction
may occur.

In order to improve such case, there are methods, such as using a noise filter

and a noise cut transformer for the power source output.

Connection with DAC-SCB -2


Each connection with CH
This shows an example of the connection between an exclusive changing box,
DAC-SCB-2(called as SCB hereunder) and DAC-HRT-1.
The following figure shows a measurement when the primary side (PRI) of a single-phase
transformer is connected to CH0 and the secondary side (SEC) to CH1.
This figure is the case where it is measuring at CH0.

Connection relay RY-0A inside SCB is

turned ON, and is connected with the 4 terminal measurement line of the measuring
instrument.
Moreover, when RY-0B is turned ON, DC cut capacitor is inserted between a specimen and
a power supply.

In addition, at the channel which is not measuring, the position which

inserts DC cut capacitor short-circuits like RY-1B.

of measuring 10-ohm resistance. The last two digits in measured
values give the difference on the equivalent values as
hereunder. Also when testing power source could be unstable,

and the resistance measured may be not stabilized, the equivalent of temperature brings the
following different results in the equivalent of temperature values. This table should also show
that, when two digits are valid on measurement, even the instrument has a measuring error
within only one digit, the temperature equivalent had risen by as much as 23.5 degrees C to the
initial resistance of 10 ohms. In this case, it does not have a meaning in the measurement itself.
Moreover, even when three digits are valid on measurement, it will become as much as 2.3
degrees C even in a change of 1digit to the initial resistance of 10.0 ohms. If initial resistance is
20.0ohms even when three digits are valid on measurement, change of 1dig will become 1.2
degrees C of a half about.
