1. IR Values
This is measured to measure the Insulation Resistance of the whole
transformer.
a) For 33/11 KV Power Transformer 2500 V megger is to be need.
b) Power Transformer neutral Earthing is to be disconnected.
c) Line terminal of the megger is to be connected to one of the HV Bushings of
Power transformer and Earth terminal of megger is to be connected to Power
transformer Body Earth Point.
IR Values are to be read on the megger by meggering the Power transformer
i) The above Value is to be noted as HV to Body or Earth.
ii) Then IR Value between LV terminal and body of Power transformer is to be
measured & noted.
ii) IR Values between HV & LV terminals are to be measured & noted.
iv) The temperature of transformer oil at which the IR Values are measured is
also to be noted.
v) Particulars of megger is also to be noted.
The maximum value shall be 60M at 600C temperature for transformer which
are in service. For new transformer the value obtained shall be tallied with
manufactures test results.
Example: - HV E ---- 5000 Mega Ohm OR INFINITE
LV E ---- 5000 Mega Ohm OR INFINITE
HV LV ---- 5000 Mega Ohm OR INFINITE
BR=1 to 2
br =30 to 100
bn =15 to 50
The values shall be compared with original test results which varies with the
transformer ratings.
5.Voltage Ratio Test :When Turns Ratio meter is not available, Voltage Ratio Test is done at Various tap
position by applying 3 phase LT (415V) supply on 33 KV side of Power transformer.
At Various taps applied voltage and Resultant voltages LV side between various
Phases and phases& neutral measured with precision voltmeter & noted.
Example :- For any 33/11 KV power trf.

1) High voltage test or source voltage test:This test is done to check the insulation level between HV to LV, HV
to Earth, LV to earth .This test is done through single phase high voltage testing
set.
(a)For distribution trf. HV winding testing:11/0.4 KV distribution trf. for 11 KV side 28 KV voltage is applied on HT side
for 1 minute by shorting all HV windings and then connect it to the LV winding of
testing set lead. Again short all LV windings with transformer tank then connect it
to the LV winding of testing set lead.
For a repair transformer 21 KV is applied on HV side i-e 75% of 28 KV.
(b)For a new trf. LV winding testing:Similarly same procedure is applied but 2.5 KV is applied on LV side for mew
trf. and 1.87 KV for repair trf. i-e 75% of 2.5 KV.
(c)For power trf. HV winding testing:33/ 11 KV power trf. for 33 KV side 68 KV voltage is applied on HT side to one
phase PT and shorting all three phases for 1 minute by shorting all LV windings
and then connect it to earth.
For a repair transformer 21 KV is applied on HV side i-e 75% of 51 KV.
(d)For power trf. LV winding testing:28 KV is applied on LV side for new trf. and KV for repair trf. i-e 75% of 21
KV keeping HT open.
12. Phase sequence test :This test is done to check the proper phase sequence of trf.
n with the help of phase sequence indicator.
