Baker WinTATS

The Baker WinTATS is a cutting-edge traction armature testing system designed for motor manufacturers and rebuilders who demand precision. Delivering exceptional accuracy and reliability, it integrates AC hipot, DC hipot, resistance, and surge testing into one comprehensive automated solution. With its ruggedised design, Baker WinTATS excels in demanding shop environments whilst reducing testing time to less than 18 minutes for up to 200 armature bars.

Streamlined Testing Operations

In operation, an armature to be tested is loaded onto the RST indexing stand, a rugged, custom-built armature test fixture that enables quick and safe connection to the system. Since many armatures are heavy and cumbersome, this fixture provides secure connection whilst ensuring operator safety throughout the testing process.

Comprehensive Testing Capabilities

The Baker WinTATS performs four critical test types to ensure complete armature validation:

AC Hipot Testing

Measures AC leakage current with precision, detecting arcs and breakdowns that may escape detection during DC hipot testing alone. This test simulates real-world operational stresses on insulation systems.

DC Hipot Testing

Verifies insulation integrity by measuring leakage current between windings and ground, providing quantitative assessment of bulk resistivity and contamination levels in insulation systems.

Resistance Testing

Identifies connection faults, incorrect wire gauge, and turn count errors through precise four-wire Kelvin measurements. Temperature compensation ensures consistent, repeatable results across varying environmental conditions.

Surge Testing

Detects turn-to-turn, layer-to-layer, and phase-to-phase insulation weaknesses that no other test can identify. Uses Megger's patented Error-Area Ratio (EAR) method for reliable fault detection with exceptional noise immunity.

Advanced Data Management

The system features intuitive Windows-based software with pass/fail settings and comprehensive data logging. Results are automatically stored in XML format, enabling seamless integration with quality management systems. The ergonomic indexing stand and user-friendly interface streamline daily operations, reducing operator training time whilst maintaining testing consistency.

Whether assessing new builds or refurbishing motor components, Baker WinTATS delivers comprehensive testing results with unmatched efficiency, ensuring every armature meets exacting quality standards before leaving your facility.
