7. GENERAL INSPECTION
7.1.

MECHANICAL CHECKS
- General visual inspection and compliance with drawings and manuals
- Check nameplate ratings and HV and LV terminal markings
- Check that all parts of the transformer are properly assembled and tight
- Check the HV connections for looseness, stressed terminals and poor grounding
- Check the cable connections on the LV side and the markings
- Check the oil levels and inspect for leakage (where applicable)
1/ Capacitor divider type
Check that all parts of the transformer are properly assembled and tight

Capacitors together

Capacitors and measuring set

2/ Electromagnetic type
Check the intermediate connections
7.2.

ELECTRICAL CHECKS
- Check the equipment grounding (continuity and connections)
- Check the fuse ratings
- Perform the operation described in the following pages

8. INSULATION RESISTANCE TEST

To obtain values as close as possible to the manufacturers specifications, the insulators must be
very clean.
Select the Megger range corresponding to the ratings of the equipment under test :
LV: 6 to 100 volts (direct current)
MV: 100 to 1000 volts (direct current)
HV: 1000 to 5000 volts (direct current)

9. POLARITY TEST
The polarity is checked using the kick method (application of direct current) and check of
deflection on a bidirectional milliammeter.
This test is also used to check primary and secondary circuit continuity.
- When switch K is closed, the milliammeter pointer deflects upscale.
- When the circuit is opened, the milliammeter pointer deflects in the negative direction.

10. TRANSFORMER TURNS RATIO TEST

A variable AC source is applied on the primary side. The primary and secondary voltages are
measured to determine the ratio V2 / V1.
