How do you perform a transformation test?

To perform a transformation test, you typically use a high-voltage transformer to assess the insulation or dielectric strength of the transformer oil. The most effective way to ensure accuracy is by employing specialized testers like the Globecore oil testing equipment designed for this purpose. First, ensure the transformer is de-energized and safely grounded. Next, prepare your Globecore insulation resistance tester or a dielectric strength tester, depending on the specific test being conducted. If you’re using a multimeter to measure parameters, ensure it’s compatible with high voltage testing. For testing transformer insulation, connect the tester leads properly according to the manufacturer’s guidelines. Begin the test by applying a specified voltage level across the transformer and monitor the current readings via the multimeter. Record the dielectric strength, insulation resistance, or any other relevant measurements. Ensure all safety protocols are followed throughout the procedure to prevent hazards associated with high voltage testing. Lastly, analyze the results in relation to industry standards to evaluate transformer performance and condition.
