factory of manufacturer’s works upto the purchaser’s site is
done with dry Nitrogen gas filled condition, due to weight
limitation. Positive gas pressure say 0.25 kg/cm2 is normally
maintained during transportation as well as during storage. In
case positive pressure is not maintained then due to
hygroscopic properties of insulation used in transformer
possibility of absorption of moisture in insulation can not be
overruled. Therefore to check the dryness of insulation,
measurement of dew point at factory prior to despatch and on
receipt of unit at site is necessary and to be carried out. It
may be noted that dew point shall be measured at factory prior
to despatch. Temperature, pressure and dew point at the time

alternatives possible, on various taps and for different ratings
(ONAN/ONAF), of the transformer and shall recommend the
combination that results in highest temperature rise, for the test.
Gas chromatographic analysis of oil shall be conducted before and

after heat run test and the values shall be recorded in the test

the evaluation of the gas analysis in temperature rise test, a
method will be proposed which is based on the rate of increase of
particular gases and the permissible limits of minimum detectable
value of gases and the maximum limit will be mutually discussed
and agreed upon between the Purchaser and Supplier. This shall be
treated as reference during maintenance of transformer in future.
The calibration of OTI and WTI shall be done by Transformer
Manufacturer and these calibrated OTI,WTI shall be used during
testing of transformer. The Sr.No. of WTI,OTI shall be recorded
during testing of transformer and these indicators only shall be

selects suitable tap from CT based on gradient between the reading
of WTI & OTI . This tap position is to be clearly recorded on test
report so that selection of correct tap could be done at site to avoid
discrepancy in temperature gradient recorded during factory test and
the value recorded at site.

out on one transformer tank of each fabricator.
(a) Vacuum Test (Fabrication stage) : One transformer
