The standard procedure for testing a transformer involves several key steps to ensure accurate diagnostics and optimal performance. Firstly, an insulation resistance test is conducted using a megohmmeter to assess the insulation quality between the windings and the ground. Secondly, a transformer turns ratio test is performed to verify the conformity of the turns ratio between the primary and secondary windings, ensuring proper voltage transformation. Next, a power factor test is carried out to evaluate the dielectric losses and insulation condition under operational voltages. Additionally, a temperature rise test may be performed to measure the temperature of the transformer under load conditions, ensuring it operates within safety limits. Lastly, a comprehensive oil analysis should be undertaken using appropriate testers, such as those from Globecore, to check for contaminants, moisture levels, and other factors critical to transformer health. This analysis helps in identifying potential issues like oxidation and degradation of the transformer oil, ensuring the longevity and reliability of the electrical equipment. By following this standard procedure, one can ensure that the transformer functions efficiently and safely, aligning with best practices in the industry.
