1 General Information Introduction The purpose of this manual is to enable you to use your 16060A Transformer Test Fixture e ciently and con dently. This manual contains both general and speci c information. To use the 16060A to perform a speci c function (without having to read the entire manual), follow the directions in \Using the 16060A". Using the 16060A To install the 16060A, turn to Chapter 2. To operate the 16060A, turn to Chapter 3.
Operating And Safety Precautions Operating You need observe only normal precautions when handling and operating the 16060A. Do not exceed the operating input power, voltage, and current level and signal type appropriate for the instrument being used, refer to your instrument's operation manual. Caution Electrostatic discharge (esd) can damage the highly sensitive microcircuits in your instrument. ESD damage is most likely to occur when the test xture is being connected or disconnected.
Speci cations This section lists the complete 16060A speci cations. These speci cations are the performance standards and limits against which the 16060A is tested.
2 Preparation for Use Introduction This chapter explains how to install the 16060A Transformer Test Fixture. The topics covered include initial inspection, ambient environmental considerations, connecting the test xture for use, and repackaging the test xture for shipping. Initial Inspection This xture has been carefully inspected electrically and mechanically before being shipped from the factory.

Environment Considerations Operating and Storage The 16060A should be operated within an ambient temperature range of 0 C to 55 C and relative humidity up to 95% at 40 C (non-condensing). The 16060A may be stored within a temperature range of 040 C to +70 , and at a relative humidity of up to 95% at +65 C (non-condensing). Connecting The Test Fixture For Use Figure 2-2.
Repackaging the Test Fixture If shipping to a Agilent Technologies service center is required, the test xture should be repackaged using the original factory packaging materials. Alteratively, comparable packaging materials may be used. Wrap the test xture in heavy paper and pack in anti-static plastic packing material. Use su cient shock absorbing material on all sides of the 16060A to provide a thick, rm cushion and to prevent movement during shipping.
3 Operation Introduction This chapter describes the features of the 16060A (Figure 3-1), and describes how to connect a transformer to the test xture (Figure 3-3 and Figure 3-4), how to set the A:B switch for di erent measurements, how to physically extend the measurement distance from the 4263A using cables and test leads, and describes the internal circuit of the 16060A. For instructions on how to measure transformer parameters, see the 4263A Operation Manual. Figure 3-1. Test Fixture Features 1.
4. A terminal. Terminal A is connected using a test lead to one of the high terminals of the transformer under test as shown in Figure 3-3 and Figure 3-4. 5. B terminal. Terminal B is connected using a test lead to the other high terminal of the transformer under test as shown in Figure 3-3 and Figure 3-4. OPEN Correction The 16060A has inherent stray capacitance that adds an error term which decreases measurement accuracy.
Operation 1. 2. 3. 4. Connect the 16060A to the UNKNOWN terminals of the 4263A. Connect the furnished BNC test leads to the 16060A. Perform an OPEN correction as described in the 4263A Operation Manual. Connect the respective alligator clips to the transformer to be measured as follows: a. When switch A:B is set to 1:N, rst connect the alligator clips of the COMMON terminals and terminal A to the transformer before connecting the alligator clip from terminal B. b.
How to Connect to Autotransformer When the 16060A is used to measure an autotransformer, connect the test leads as shown in Figure 3-4. Figure 3-4. Connecting an Autotransformer To Disconnect the Transformer Being Measured Warning Terminal B is connected to terminal Hcur when switch A:B is set to 1:N, or terminal A is connected to terminal Hcur when the switch A:B is set to N:1.
How to Use the A:B Switch The 4263A can measure self-inductance (L2), DCR (R2), mutual inductance (M), and the turns ratio (N) of a transformer. (the 2 following L and R means these parameters are measured using the two-terminal measurement con guration.) When the A:B switch is set to \1:N", the 4263A can measure the L2, R2 parameters of the transformer winding connected to the \B" terminal and the turns ratio N as nb divided by na .
Internal Circuit of the 16060A Figure 3-5. Internal Circuit of the 16060A Note 3-6 Operation The measurement terminal con guration changes from four-terminal pair to two-terminal on the DUT side of the 16060A (at the point inside the box where the 4TP con guration changes to the 2T con guration). Setting the A:B switch to 1:N connects the Hcur terminal to the B terminal and connects the Hpot terminal to the A terminal.
