TRANSFORMER TESTING

Transformers are an important component of the power system and are expected to find increased demand with thrust on infrastructure development.

Testing Facilities

2. Temperature-rise test
3. Separate source ac withstand voltage test
4. Induced overvoltage test
5. Measurement of insulation resistance
6. Measurement of voltage ratio and Check of phase displacement/voltage vector relationship
7. Measurement of short-circuit impedance and Load loss
8. Measurement of no-load loss and current
9. Measurement of zero sequence impedance(s) on three-phase transformers
10. Measurement of neutral current
11. Pressure test (Type test)
