• Quick and easy check for opens or shorts on transformers before energizing
• Provides clear indications of open circuits, short connections and confirmation that the test results are OK
• Tests overhead, pad-mount and other distribution transformers
• Tests the primary and secondary sides of de‑energized transformers without disconnecting
• Helps prevent line workers from installing a fuse on a shorted transformer
• Automatic self-test feature
• Magnet holds the tester in place while testing

The Greenlee TL-AST-M TILT II Transformer Tester provides quick and easy tests for opens and shorts on power distribution systems. It operates with a single push-button and provide clear indications of open circuits, short circuits and confirmation that the test results are OK.

The TILT II (Transformer Initial Livening Tester) Transformer Tester is a versatile tool for quick and easy checks of transformers and the connections made to them. In the field, the TILT II is used to test the primary and secondary sides of a new or reworked, single or three-phase transformer installation for short circuits prior to energizing. The TILT II can test the secondary sides of transformers and all the connections made to them, up to and including the meter, prior to energizing. Unlike a simple ohmmeter, the TILT II can differentiate a true short from the low instance of a transformer winding.

In the shop, the TILT II can be used for quick screening of incoming and outgoing transformers for both primary and secondary shorts or opens (including internal fuses and breakers).The TILT IItests both 1 and 3 diameter transformers, including potential transformers and other instrument transformers.
