CURRENT TRANSFORMER TESTING
Instrument Transformers (CTs and PTs) have wide application in metering and protecting the power system. Indigenously manufactured transformers have a wide range of ratings.
Test Facilities
- Determination of errors according to the appropriate accuracy class
- Verification of terminal marking and polarity
- Temperature rise test
- Measurement of winding resistance
- Instrument Security current test
- Composite error test
- Knee point voltage and excitation current test
- Power frequency dry withstand test on primary winding
- Power frequency dry withstand test on secondary winding
- Power frequency voltage withstand test between sections
- Over voltage inter-turn test
- Turns ratio test
- Determination of secondary loop time constant
- Short time current test
- Lightning impulse test
- Measurement of Capacitance and loss factor (Tan delta) of current transformer
- Partial Discharge test
