The MTO3XX series delivers full eight-terminal/six- The MTO3XX series is the latest addition to Megger’s
winding resistance measurement capability. It is designed extensive line of products with a common digital platform,

* Historically, a common accident when working in a substation happens while the technician is going up and down a ladder.
The design of the MTO3xx series of products allows testing of all six windings, on a 3-phase transformer, with one lead set connection.
Traditional “one-at-a-time” six-winding testing required 7 to 8 separate trips up/down the ladder as compared to only one trip to connect
and one trip to disconnect with the MTO3xx series.

TTR3XX

The diagram shows the MTO3xx series and TTR300 series easily and conveniently using the same set of test leads. For example, the user can
leave the leads connected to the transformer and use the same lead set to run turns-ratio testing with the Megger TTR3xx series, eliminating
several up-and-down-the-ladder trips.
