2. Transformer Stability and Sensitivity Test Procedure

2.1. Objective:
The objective of this test is confirm that the differential relay or REF relay
doesn't operate at normal conditions even though load currents are high, where
It should operate when a fault occurs in its zone.
2.2. Source:
Suitable 3 phase generator (Separate) 380 volt 60 Hz or Suitable
Voltage.
SEC supply.

3. Precautions:

3.1. Good earth of:

3.1.1. The Generator.
3.1.2. The Transformer.
3.1.3. The shield of the cables.
3.2. The correct size of connected testing cables.
3.3. Determine working zones and places and preventing any person to be in these
zones.
3.4. Suitable MCB for 3-phase supply.
3.5. CT terminal blocks must be checked and tightness well.
3.6. All REF (Restricted Earth Fault) relays must be removed or its CT terminal
shorted.
3.7. Check the Phase Sequence of the 3-Phase Supply.
3.8. Test equipments and tools:
Calibrated multi-meters.
Calibrated testers for measure current and phase angle.

4. Calculation:

The following calculation is as a general example.

Technical Data of Power Transformer:

- Two winding - three phase - Ynyn0d1 transformer.
- 132/13.8 KV.
- 60 MVA.
- Rated current 262.43 / 2510.22 A.
- HV CTR = 300/1.
- LV CTR = 3000/1.
- Percentage impedance:
At Tap 7L = 25.137 %
At Tap N = 23.594 %
At Tap 11R = 21.847 %
