TESTS
Type tests -- For design validation Sample: Only on Proto type Routine tests -- Performed to ensure that a product is manufactured as per the design specification and is free from manufacturing defects. Sample: 100 %
TESTS
Special tests -- To check whether the product meets any special requirements of the customer specification and also to know the bench mark values for preventive maintenance and trouble free operation Sample: Some tests on sample quantity. Some tests on 100 % quantity. Acceptance test -- Performed during customer inspection on samples selected at random.

Special Tests Measurement of Capacitance and Tan Delta. Measurement of Zero Sequence Impedance Measurement of Acoustic Noise Level Measurement of Partial Discharge. Measurement of Unbalance Current.
Purpose: To ensure proper dry ness of the active parts. To ensure sufficient clearance between the windings and between winding and earth. Instruments Insulation Tester/Megger (Hand driven/Battery operated) Connecting Cables. Procedure
Check the IR Value between HV and LV. Check the IR Value between HV and earth. Check the IR Value between LV and earth.
To check the polarity of single phase transformers Instruments: Single phase Auto transformer Voltmeter / Multi meter. Connecting Cables Procedure: Short H1 of the HV winding to the adjacent terminal X1of the LV winding. Apply any convenient A.C Voltage say about 100 V on HV Winding H1 and H2 Measure Voltage between H2 & X2 Conditions: If H1 H2 < H2 X2 Additive Polarity. If H1 H2 > H2 X2 Subtractive Polarity.
ROUTINE TESTS
Measurement of Winding Resistance
Purpose: To calculate I2 R loss of the winding. Proper crimping, brazing and other connections can be ensured. Whether conductors used in winding are as per the designed cross section or not can be verified. Instruments: Transformer Winding Resistance meter / Ohm meter. Kelvin Bridge / Wheatstone Bridge Connecting Cables Procedure: Record the top oil temperature of the transformer. Connect current cable and potential cable of the instrument to the winding under test. Switch on the instrument and record the reading displayed by the instrument. Convert the Resistance value to the reference temperature Compare with the design value.
ROUTINE TESTS
DIELECTRIC TESTS
These tests are to be conducted only after all other tests are conducted successfully. High Voltage Power Frequency Withstand test. Purpose: To ensure sufficient clearance between the windings and between winding and earth. To check the adequacy of main insulation to earth and between winding Instruments:
High Voltage Test set
Procedure: Short all line terminals of winding under test. The line terminals of the other winding and the tank are connected together to earth.
Back to back method Two Transformers, one of which is the transformer under
Measure cold Resistance Make the connections as per the circuit diagram. Keep the LV winding short circuited The HV is excited such that the total losses are fed to the transformer Maintain hourly record of ambient temperature, top oil temperature, and readings of all ammeters, Voltmeters and Watt meters and observe increase in top oil temperature rise. Maintain this condition till the top oil temperature rise stabilizes. Once the stability is reached, reduce the supply to make the current equal to rated current and maintain for one hour. Switch off the power supply and measure the hot resistance. Extrapolate the hot resistance back to zero so as to get the resistance of the winding at the time of switch off. Calculate the temperature rise of the winding and compare with the guaranteed values.
