Power Transformer Testing

Tests consider all transformer no-load tap positions. Tests consider all load taps on load, tap changer (LTC) transformers if connected for voltage ratio control. On LTC transformers connected for phase angle control, ratio and polarity are completed only in neutral positions. If checked on load taps, measurements may be taken for reference for future comparison, but will deviate

Coupling Capacitor Voltage Transformers (CCVTs)

The tip-up test looks at how the PF value changes as the test voltage increases. If the PF value increases as the voltage increases, this may indicate a mechanical problem in the capacitance stack. Tip-up tests can be performed on the overall stack or, as an aid to localising problems, on the individual capacitors that make up the stack. Ratio

6 FAQs about [Transformer capacitor test]

Can a TTR capacitor be used to test a power transformer?

With the installation of the TTR capacitor the turns ratio of power transformers at potentials up to 10 kV can be measured. Installation of the capacitor in place of the common TTR test set, allows a greater test voltage, up to 10 kV that can be applied to the primary winding.

How do you test a transformer?

Apply power to the circuitry. Use the DMM in AC mode to measure the transformer primary. If the measurement is less than 80 percent of the expected voltage, the fault could lie in either the transformer or the circuitry providing the primary with power. In that case: Separate the transformer from the input circuit. Test the input with your DMM.

What is a capacitance and dissipation factor test?

The capacitance and dissipation factor test is an AC low voltage maintenance test and is very similar to the power factor test. The test as it is termed, measures the capacitance and dissipation factor (or loss factor) of the transformer insulation system.

Which voltage is preferable to DC voltage for transformer testing?

AC voltage is preferable to DC voltage for transformer testing because AC voltage simulates the internal stress that the transformers face during operating conditions. The following tests are routinely conducted in the field on the transformer: The AC hi-pot test is used to assess transformer windings condition.

Can a transformer be tested using AC or DC voltage?

Transformers may be tested using AC or DC voltage. AC voltage is preferable to DC voltage for transformer testing because AC voltage simulates the internal stress that the transformers face during operating conditions. The following tests are routinely conducted in the field on the transformer:

What is a transformer insulation test?

The test as it is termed, measures the capacitance and dissipation factor (or loss factor) of the transformer insulation system. This test may be required to be performed during the acceptance testing stage to establish a baseline reading for future test comparison.
