The Nova 1218 Tangent Delta (TgD) Tester is a Low Cost Basic TgD tester of good quality and reliability.
The Nova 1218 is a mid-entry level TgD tester as compared to the high accuracy full featured Nova 1200 TgD tester.
It uses graphite (conductor) over magnet wire insulation and measures TgD value of film insulated magnet wire.
The innovative design with direct heating of the test specimen and accurate dynamic temperature measurement and control
produce accurate TgD curve. The test data from the curve indicate the degree of cure and residual solvent in the magnet wire
insulation. This information is the essential properties of the TgD test that can help optimize magnet wire quality, production
output, and product documentation.
The Nova 1218 averaged TgD result matches that of the Nova 1200 results.
The data files are interchangeable between the Nova 1218 and Nova 1200.
The Nova 1218 software is designed to work with the Microsoft Windows
Operating System. Microsoft Windows Language Translation is available
to translate the text in the displayed screen programs.

1. The Nova 1218 has been designed with the following criteria:

A. Low Cost with Excellent “Return On Investment”

B. Low operating and maintenance cost

C. Quality, Reliability, and Repeatability

D. User Friendly


2. Fast measuring time:

1.5to 3 minutes for wire sizes 0.05 to 2 mm (depending on enamel type)


3. Easy to Operate

Three simple operations and the test are under way.

A. Place the sample holder in the test compartment.

B. Close the heater block onto the wire sample.

C. Start the test. From here on, the Nova 1218 has a fully automatic test sequence, curve presentation, and data storage.


4. Data Storage: Test data are saved in an XML file format.


5.Application location

The Nova 1218 sturdy construction with the test oven outside of the
chassis and isolated from the electronic components allows it to be
used in the test laboratory and production line.
