1. Equipment required
Following equipment is necessary to perform testings:
Megger 500-5000V
Ohmmeter
Multimeter
2. General inspection
Mechanical checks
General visual inspection and compliance with the drawings and manuals.
Check nameplate ratings and HV, LV terminal markings.
Check that all parts of the transformer are properly assembled and tight.
Check the HV connections are tight.
Check the cable connections on the LV side and the markings.
Check the oil levels and inspect for leakage. (Where applicable)
Electromagnetic type
Check the installation of different sections.

Polarity Test
The polarity is checked using the flick method (application of direct current ) and check of
deflection on a bi-directional milliammeter. The test is also used to check primary and secondary
circuit continuity.
When the circuit is opened, the milliammeter pointer deflects in the negative direction.

A variable AC source is applied on the primary side. The primary and secondary voltages are
measured to determine the ratio V2/V1

Oil pressure test on transformer to check against leakages past joints and
gaskets.
That means Routine tests of transformer include all the type tests except temperature
rise and vacuum tests. The oil pressure test on transformer to check against leakages
past joints and gaskets is included.
Special Tests of transformer include
1.
Dielectric tests.

Then apply single phase 230 V AC supply across one of the HV winding
terminals and neutral terminal.

In case of auto transformer, magnetic balance test of transformer should be repeated for
LV winding also.
There are three limbs side by side in a core of transformer. One phase winding is wound
in one limb. The voltage induced in different phases depends upon the respective
position of the limb in the core. The voltage induced in different phases of transformer in
respect to neutral terminals given in the table below.

First of all keep the tap changer in the lowest position and open all IV & LV
terminals.

Then apply three phase 415 V supply on the line terminals for three phase
transformers and single phase 230 V supply on single phase transformers.

And repeat the test with keeping the tap at highest position.
Generally there are two similar higher readings on two outer limb phases on transformer
core and one lower reading on the centre limb phase, in case of three phase
transformers. An agreement to within 30% of the measured exciting currentwith the
previous test is usually considered satisfactory. If the measured excitingcurrent value is
50 times higher than the value measured during factory test, there is likelihood of a fault
in the winding which needs further analysis.
Caution: This magnetizing current test of transformer is to be carried out before
DC resistance measurement.
Insulation resistance test of transformer is essential type test. This test is carried out
to ensure the healthiness of over all insulation system of an electrical power transformer.
First disconnect all the line and neutral terminals of the transformer.
