If Tan Delta of bushing/winding/CVT/CT is measured at oil temperature T Deg. C. Then Tan Delta at 20 Deg. C shall
be as given below:
Tan Delta at 20 Deg. C = Tan Delta at Temp T Deg. C / Factor K.
Dew Point Limits for SF6 Gas in EHV Circuit Breakers
-5 -27 Critical
Note: Dew point of SF6 gas varies with pressure at which measurement is carried out. So it is to
be ensured that if measurement is done at pressure other than atmospheric pressure, it needs
to be converted to the atmospheric pressure.
