Torkel 900 – Series
Battery Load Unit
The TORKEL™ 900 series is used to perform load/discharge testing which is the only way to determine battery systems actual capacity. Together with the optional cell voltage logger, BVM, connected directly to the TORKEL 900, it becomes a complete, stand-alone, discharge test system.TORKEL comes in three models, 910, 930 and 950, see table below.The high discharge capacity of TORKEL gives the opportunity to shorten the test time. Discharging can take place at up to 220 A, and if higher current is needed, two or more TORKEL units or extra load units, TXL, can be linked together. Tests can be conducted at constant current, constant power, constant resistance or in accordance with a pre-selected load profile. Testing can also be carried out without disconnecting the battery from the equipment it serves. Via a DC clamp-on probe, TORKEL measures the total battery current while regulating it at a constant level. Battery systems can be plus or minus grounded or free floating.The test results can be presented and edited on a PC using the included PC software “TORKEL Viewer.
- Discharge testing for full insight into battery capacity
- Enhanced safety features including spark free connection and emergency safety fuse
- Ability to test the battery without disconnecting it from the system
- High discharge capacity shortens the test time
- A complete stand-alone discharge test system
The TORKEL 900 is the fourth generation in the series of Megger’s trusted battery discharge test systems. Discharge testing is the only test method that provides a comprehensive insight into battery capacity, and is therefore an essential part of vigorous battery maintenance programmes.
Tests can be conducted at constant current, constant power, constant resistance or in accordance with a pre-selected load profile. Together with the cell voltage logger, BVM, now connected directly to the TORKEL 900, it becomes a complete stand-alone discharge test system.
The TORKEL is connected to the battery, the discharge current and the alarm levels (voltage, capacity, time) are set. After starting the discharge TORKEL keeps the current constant at the preset level. When the voltage drops to a level slightly above the final voltage, TORKEL issues an alarm. If the voltage drops so low that there is a risk for deep discharging the battery, TORKEL shuts down the test. All values are stored in TORKEL and can easily be transferred via an USB-stick to a PC for evaluation.
Testing can be carried out without disconnecting the battery from the equipment it serves. Via a DC clamp-on ammeter, TORKEL measures total battery current while regulating it at a constant level. Furthermore, the high discharge capacity of TORKEL gives the opportunity to shorten the test time. Discharging can take place at up to 220 A, and if higher current is needed, two or more TORKEL units or extra load units, TXL, can be linked together.

Other Products
TOR-1
Transformer Oil Express Test Kit TOR detects moisture in oil quickly and precisely – even in miniscule quantities.
Express test kits have been developed specifically to detect the amount of moisture in dielectric insulation oils, which is necessary for normal operation and timely maintenance of electric equipment. The high precision and excellent long-term stability make this testing device an ideal solution for continuous monitoring of moisture in transformer oils.
The test kit is compact, reliable, simple to operate and multifunctional; it is the best choice for moisture measurement. The device also measures such parameters as water activity (aw), temperature (t), and calculates absolute water content in ppm. The device combines everything necessary for simple and comfortable operation: two digital displays to indicate sample temperature moisture content in ppm, a detachable sample container and two buttons: power and measurement.
TOR-80
The TOR-80 unit is designed to determine the electric breakdown voltage of transformer oil and other liquid dielectrics in accordance with IEC 60156, ASTM D877, ASTM
D1816, GOST 6581. It is a fully automatic device that allows testing to be performed according to the procedures specifed in these standards, as well as user procedures specifed in the
appropriate section of the setup menu.
GUIDE PS400
The Guide PS Series high-performance thermal camera is designed to make the inspection, maintenance and troubleshooting work easier, faster and more accurate.
