Power transformer is widely used in electric power system, the manufacturing process of the quality of the solder joints, wire assembly should be effective supervision over the quality. Measuring winding dc resistance is simple and effective means, is also inspection, found the transformer faults and the important method and basis. In power transformer factory, after the handover, overhaul, changing tap-changer preventive test, the winding dc resistance measurement is indispensable in the pilot project. In the transformer winding dc resistance measurement, with the traditional method (bridge method and pressure drop method) measurement of transformer winding dc resistance and high power induction equipment often because of power transformer winding has a large inductance, resistance and cause work is a time-consuming work. In order to change this situation, to shorten the measuring time and reduce the working burden of testers. Paper combined with the actual situation, in the analysis and comparison of the existing, on the basis of various measurement methods, starting from the basic circuit, deduces a kind of can in the transient process of transformer winding is rapid, simple and accurate new method to measure the dc resistance and combining the existing products on the basis of through a large number of direct circuit experiment and debugging, to complete the fast measurement method based on the new hardware and software of intelligent instrument with the single chip processor as the core, and designs. This paper is divided into five chapters: the first chapter mainly introduces the course of practical significance, dc resistance tester, development, and the main content of the paper; Second chapter in the analysis and comparison of the existing, on the basis of various measurement methods, starting from the basic circuit, deduces a kind of can in the transient process of transformer winding is rapid, simple and accurate new method to measure the dc resistance; Third chapter elaborated in view of the measuring instrument hardware circuit design; The fourth chapter in view of the measuring instrument software part design. The fifth chapter in view of the actual prototype test, record test data and detailed analysis, summary of graduation design.
