3 The phrase in accordance with industry requirements is implicit in all outcomes and
evidence requirements in this unit standard.
5 The range of this unit standard is limited to carrying out tests on single unit and 3
phase unit distribution oil filled power transformers 33kV and below 10 MVA capacity.
Testing is normally applied at electricity supply substations.
Outcome 1
Prepare for testing on distribution oil filled power transformers of 33kV and below 10 MVA.
Evidence requirements
1.1 The relevant equipment technical specification and performance standards are
selected and interpreted.
Range may include but are not limited to – insulation class, rating, type of
transformer, manufacturer or client standards for oil type
transformers.
Range may include but are not limited to – ANSI-C57, IEC-76, IEC-726
1982.

relief valve signal test, winding resistance tests, insulation
resistance, oil electric strength, ratio tests, cooling control and
indication test, tap changer position tests, impedance tests,
polarity tests, phasing.
1.4 The extent of main equipment to be released from service is identified and
equipment release requested for work access.
Range may include but is not limited to all release requests being
completed in the required time in accordance with enterprise
requirements.
1.5 The inspection and test plan are developed to meet all testing requirements.
Range may include but is not limited to – personnel doing tests, test
equipment to be used, programme, required outcome from
inspection and tests.
Outcome 2
Set up test facilities on distribution oil filled power transformers of 33kV and below 10
MVA.

Please note
Providers must be granted consent to assess against standards (accredited) by NZQA, or
an inter-institutional body with delegated authority for quality assurance, before they can
report credits from assessment against unit standards or deliver courses of study leading
to that assessment.
Providers and Industry Training Organisations, which have been granted consent and
which are assessing against unit standards must engage with the moderation system that
applies to those standards.
