In this paper, a study was made of the test device for voltage stabilizers Teplocom ST-222/500, ST-555, ST-888. The DUT provides the verification algorithm outlined in the setup, verification, and process run instructions. This test involves changing the phasing of the conductors at the input of the device under test; control of voltage sources supplied to the tested stabilizer; measurement of voltage values ​​at the input and output of the stabilizer; their registration. The aim of the work is to design a device for testing voltage stabilizers, with an error of the measuring unit of not more than 2.5% and a test speed of at least 1.3 s. To confirm the achievement of the specified parameters, simulation was carried out in the MicroCap 11 software package.

This article discusses the development of a control and measuring system for reading barcodes from printed circuit boards in the production process. A functional diagram of the device was designed. A full-scale experiment was carried out to determine the working distance and angles for reading barcodes. It was revealed that the developed system has competitive advantages over analogues in a higher barcode reading speed and work with different barcode inclination angles.

For the long-term operation of a power oil transformer, it is necessary to comply with all regulated checks of its technical condition, prescribed in the instructions. The current regulations provide for daily routine inspection and technical examination at least once a week. Famously, the heating of a power transformer during its operation is linked to the presence of active losses in the windings and core. High power transformers have impressive heat losses. Oil cooling systems are used to prevent that overheating of the transformer and damage to the insulation of the coil windings. The deterioration of the quality of the transformer oil causes an increase in active losses, due to which the efficiency of the power device decreases. This negatively affects the process of converting electrical en-ergy. The conclusion is that the quality of the oil directly affects the longevity of the power transformer. Thus, the most important functional elements from a control point of view are the transformer oil and the coil of the power device. Based on the foregoing, the urgent problem of technical control of electrical substations’ transformers is the development of methods and devices for express monitoring of the functional state of power oil transformers, which allow quick diagnostic information receiving, sufficient for a timely decision on the need for unscheduled repairs or maintenance.
