 INTRODUCTION OF METER TESTING

Meters: Meters are the device used to measure the energy and it also
maintain record of the average and peak voltage used, it records for
every hour.

Types of the meters are as follows:

 Single phase meter
 Three phase meters
 Bidirectional meters
 Single phase meters are employed for the consumer who use single
phase like residential areas, where the meter has the rated value of 230v
50hz and power factor of 0.9pf.

Three phase meters are employed for the commercial consumers like
hotel and shop, where the meter has the rated value of 400v 50hz.

Bidirectional meters are employed for the consumer, who have their own
solar roof top on their own house and this meter read the energy used and
remained energy which is exported to the HESCOM or which is sold to
the HESCOM.
 METER TESTING
 Meter testing by automation process. Single and three phase
meter testing by automation is by the software, this software has
the ability to check meters faults and damage like failure to the
rated current and voltage and power factor and others.

 The procedure to conduct this test is by connecting the meters to

the board where it has the variable current, voltage and power
factor reading component as shown in below Figure.

 When the meters are varied and passed in all the test conducted
by the software and then sealed by the tag and a certificate of
correction and good working condition is issued and packed and
exported to required place.

Meter testing by manual process: This is similar
to automation process but here CT are used.

In this process CT are used to check meters rated current, this is done by
passing line through the CT which is connected to the meter and value is displayed in
megger kit which is shown above and every meter as the scanner in it, from where we
get the information of the meters.
TRANSFORMER REPAIR
CENTER
Transformer: we all know that transformer is static device which decrease and
increase the voltage and we have two types of transformer like step up and step-down
transformer.

Transformer testing and repair: All the

distribution transformer which are located near to
consumer come under this centre, the transformer
may fail to operate due to many reasons like faults
on the line and failure of insulation and due to some
of the climatic conditions etc.
When a transformer is failed a complaint is raised to
the section office, section officer estimate the place
and create a file and submitted to the division
office, where it send the file to the transformer
repair centre and transformer is replaced and failed
transformer under go for the testing process.
Types of test conducted are as follows:
 Open & Short circuit test
 Double voltage and double frequency
 High voltage test

OC & SC TEST:
Open circuit test primarily focuses on
identifying electrical faults and
abnormalities in a transformer winding and
electrical components.
Copper losses
Eddy current losses
Hysteresis losses
Dielectric losses Fig : OC & SC Test Bench
Efficiency losses
DOUBLE VOLTAGE AND DOUBLE FREQUENCY:
Double voltage: In this test the transformer is subjected to a voltage that
is twice its rated voltage. For example, if transformer is rated for
480volts, it would be subjected to 960volts during this test.

The transformers insulation and winding materials are checked to ensure

they can withstand this increased voltage without breakdown or damage.

Double frequency test: In this test, the transformer is subjected to a

frequency that is twice its rated frequency. For example, if a transformer is
designed for 60 Hz, it would be tested at 120Hz.

This test checks the transformers core and winding for any issues related
to the increased frequency.
 TRANSFORMER OIL TEST
Oil quality tests: These tests assess the oils
physical and chemical properties, including
moisture content, acidity, dielectric strength, and
color.
Interfacial tension test: It measures the oils
ability to separate from water, indicating its ability
to insulate.
Dielectric response analysis: This test evaluates
the dielectric properties of the oil to detect
insulation issues.
Flash point test: It determines the oils ability to
resist ignition when exposed to open flame.
