  • Page 10: System Details

    The internal discharge circuit dissipates the stored energy in the transformer windings with a “Constant Power Discharge Circuit” that is unique to all transformer winding test systems. That is the reason why Raytech systems can discharge transformers more than 10 times faster than any other system on the market.
