TTC-1000

Transformer Temperature
Controller

DESCRIPTION
The Transformer Temperature Controller (TTC) is a full feature single or dual tem-
perature measurement and control device for the management of transformer
cooling and Load Tap Changer (LTC) conditioning monitoring applications. A signifi-
cant advantage of the TTC is it does not require calibration.
calibration Because the accuracy
is guaranteed over the entire temperature range, the temperature probes are inter-
changeable and can be installed up to 250 feet from the controller. There are no
maintenance items such as potentiometers or batteries. Just set it and go.

The TTC has four programmable output relays with Trip Duty rated form C con-
tacts. The built-in programmable scheme logic provides the ability to:
• Control Fans and Pumps

• Provide high temperature alarms

• Generate Trip signals

• Provide LTC Condition Alarm

• Periodic exercising of fan banks

The TTC also includes an RS-232 communications interface for settings and status
that uses the terminal emulation software installed on your PC and does not require
special software. Setting files can be either uploaded or downloaded. There are
many additional features available including analog outputs and time stamped min/
max temperature display all with a Life Time Warranty at an affordable price and
now with DNP3.0 communications .

FEATURES

The TTC-1000 is an advanced microprocessor based transformer temperature con-

troller that contains a full compliment of programmable features:

• Dual universal temperature probes measure temperature from 0 to 160 °C,

Without Calibratio n.

• Contains no maintenance items and does not require calibration.

• Four independent temperature set points per temperature probe with settable
pickup and drop out temperatures for hysteresis.

• Built-in LTC condition monitoring. Mag mount probe available.

• AUX CT input for winding hot spot temperature measurement based on top oil
temperature. Clip on CT provided.

• Dual load pickup set points for transformer pre-cooling.

• Built-in fan bank alternate feature.

• Three independent time set points for daily fan exercising.

• Programmable scheme logic with four programmable form C relay outputs.

• Dedicated form B Device Alarm Relay with built in self check.

• Minimum and maximum temperature display time stamped with date and
time.

• DNP3.0 Level 1 Communications, read all binary and analog outputs and com-
mand cooling remotely (optional).

• Dual analog outputs programmable to 0 to 1 or 4 to 20 mA (optional).

• Dual optically isolated inputs for remote cooling control or reporting liquid level
or sudden pressure alarms through DNP3.0 (optional).

• Operates over a wide voltage range of 38 to 160 VDC or 120 VAC.

• Mounting available in a NEMA 4X enclosure, heater option available.

• Substation hardened to ANSI Fast Transient and Surge Withstand of C37.90.1

and RFI/EMI requirements of C37.90.2.

• Lifetime Warranty
