How capacitance & Tan Δ Power factor Meter Works

Raytech CAPO-12, Switzerland, is a high-performance capacitance and tan δ (power factor) test instrument, designed specifically for accurate measurement of insulation properties. It is widely used for diagnosing and preventive maintenance of various types of electrical insulation, including power transformers. The CAPO-12 operates with a test frequency range from 10 Hz to 400 Hz and includes a sweep function with an integrated plotting tool, making it ideal for narrowband frequency dielectric spectroscopy. This allows engineers to analyze insulation behavior over a range of frequencies for better diagnostics. The device features a complete automatic calibration system and advanced system diagnostics, ensuring highly reliable and precise test results every time. Engineered for ease of use, portability, and precision, the CAPO-12 is a trusted solution in the power industry for maintaining insulation health and extending the life of critical electrical assets. It fully supports international testing standards.

Accurately assessing the health of insulation is vital for maintaining the long-term performance and safety of electrical equipment. Modern test instruments like the CAPO-12 allow engineers to detect early signs of insulation degradation, helping to minimize the risk of unplanned failures and expensive downtime. By utilizing advanced measurement methods like narrowband frequency dielectric spectroscopy, the device provides comprehensive insights into how insulation behaves across different operating conditions. The CAPO-12 streamlines the testing process with automated testing functions, an intuitive interface, and precise data recording. These features ensure that even complex diagnostic tasks are completed quickly and reliably. Incorporating such sophisticated diagnostic tools into regular maintenance practices enhances asset management, increases operational reliability, and ensures the smooth functioning of critical power infrastructure.
