Clause 7.2.2. Temperature Rise Test
Clause 7.2.2. Temperature Rise Test
NOTE 1 Manufacturers whose production systems have been certified for compliance with ISO 9001 do satisfy
the previously mentioned requirements.
The testing laboratory shall check that drawings and data schedules adequately represent the
essential details and parts of the equipment to be tested, but shall not be responsible for the
accuracy of the detailed information.
Particular drawings or data required to be submitted by the manufacturer to the test laboratory
for identification of essential parts of equipment have to be specified by the relevant
standards.
NOTE 2 An individual type test need not be repeated for a change of construction detail, if the manufacturer can
demonstrate that this change does not influence the result of that individual type test.
The results of all type tests shall be recorded in type-test reports containing:
For this test, the transformer shall be mounted in a manner representative of the mounting in
service.
The temperature rise of windings shall, when practicable, be measured by the increase in
resistance method, but for windings of very low resistance, thermocouples may be employed.
The temperature rise of parts other than windings may be measured by thermometers or
thermocouples.
For identification of any key components on which temperature measurements are to be made
and for further information regarding test arrangements and procedures, refer to product
specific standards.
