Method No 1 (separate source voltage withstand test)

All the
terminals of the winding under test should be connected together and the
voltage should be applied.
The secondary windings of bushing type current transformers should be
connected together and earthed. The current should be stable during test and
no surges should occur.
A single phase power frequency voltage of shape approximately sinusoidal is
applied for 60 seconds to the terminals of the winding under test.
The test shall be performed on all the windings one by one.
The test is successful if no breakdown in the dielectric of the insulation occurs
during test.
During the Separate source AC withstand voltage test, the frequency of the test
voltage should be equal to the transformers rated frequency or should be not
less than 80% of this frequency. In this way, 60 Hz transformers can also be
tested at 50 Hz. The shape of the voltage should be single phase and sinusoidal
as far as possible.
This test is applied to the star point (neutral point) of uniform insulated
windings and gradual (non-uniform) insulation windings. Every point of the
winding which test voltage has been applied is accepted to be tested with this
voltage.
The test voltage is measured with the help of a voltage divider. The test
voltage should be read from voltmeter as peak value divided by2. Test period
is 1 minute.
