Vector Group Test

Testing procedure for Dyn11 vector group

Connect neutral point of star winding with earth.

Join 1U of HV and 2U of LV together.
Apply 415 V, three phase supply to HV terminals.
Measure voltages between terminals
1. 1V2W=1V2V
2. 1W2V>1W2W
3. 1U1V=1V2N+1U2N

What if vector group is Dyn1 ?

Testing procedure and connections will remain same.
Measure Voltage on secondary
1) 1W2W = 1W2V
2) 1V2W > 1V2V
3) 1U1W = (1U2N)+(1W2N)

Winding Resistance Test

Methods for WR test
V-I method
Kelvins bridge method

Test equipment-Prestige micro-ohm meter 17R

Furan Analysis &

DP..
Furan is hetero cyclic compounds having 4 carbon and one oxygen atom.
Dp=Degree of polymerization
Gives measure of length of cellulose
Paper insulation degrades due to high temp.,moisture and oxygen.

Degradation by-products are:

Water and Carbon oxides
Furans

5-hydroxy-methyl-2-furfuraldehyde
2-furfural
2-Acetyl furan
5-methyl-2-furaldehyde
2-furfuryl alcohol

SFRA
Test

It is frequency response of individual winding.

LV sinusoidal wave of variable frequency injected at
winding to be tested and measure signal attenuation in
dB.
Freq.range-10 Hz to 2 MHz
dB=20 log (Vo/Vin)

Purpose
To asses mechanical condition of transformer.

Methods :-

Time-based comparison with

previous results of the same unit.
Type-based comparison with
previous results of the sister
transformer.
Phase comparison comparison
with previous results of the other
phases of the same transformer.

Name plate
KPH 100P

K=Alkaline battery
P= Pocket type plate ( Other types are sintered,foam,fiber plate )
H=100Ah capacity
P=Polypropelene container

Nominal voltage -1.2 V

Battery bank details
Bank 1-87 batteries,100Ah
Bank 2-87 batteries,70Ah

 Nominal voltage of Battery: The voltage from which the battery starts discharging
when loaded.
Ni-Cd battery = 1.20 VPC
Lead acid = 2.20 VPC
Float voltage : The voltage which is slightly higher than the nominal voltage and will
not damage the cell if applied continuously.
Ni-Cd battery = 1.41 VPC
Lead acid = 2.30 VPC
Boost voltage: The voltage which is much higher then the float voltage to regain the
battery original capacity.
Ni-Cd battery = 1.7 VPC
Lead acid = 2.4 VPC
End cell voltage: The voltage at which battery discharging should stop. Battery
should not be kept in this state for longer time to avoid permanent failure.
Ni cd battery = 1.00 VPC
Lead acid = 1.75 VPC

Advantages of Ni-Cd over Lead-Acid

Long lifetime and long storage life.
the electrolyte in nickel-cadmium is less corrosive to
battery parts than in a lead-acid battery.
Nickel-cadmium batteries have lower overall
efficiencies, between 60% to 75%.
Can be fully discharged without any damage.
Reduced sensitivity to temperature.
Low maintenance requirements

Disadvantages of Ni-Cd over LeadAcid

Twice Expensive then Lead acid
Lower all over efficiency
Memory Effect

Battery
Charger
..
Purpose

To supply dc power in emergency equipment.

Types
Float charger
Float cum boost charger

Operation
Normally both chargers are in FLOAT mode and supply
load and trickle charging current to battery banks.
D1-D8 diodes are in circuit to reduce voltage from 121 V
to 115 V.
In case of supply failure, batteries will feed the load and
diodes will be bypassed by contactor.
Boost mode is required when batteries are needed to
charge fast. Charger will not feed any load in this mode.
