Introduction to Transformer Testing Theory

Dielectric Strength test

The insulation oil of voltage- and current-transformers fulfills the purpose of

insulating as well as cooling. Thus, the dielectric quality of transformer oil is a
matter of secure operation of a transformer.

As transformer oil deteriorates through aging and moisture ingress, transformer

oil should, depending on economics, transformer duty and other factors, be
tested periodically.

Voltage breakdown during oil test

Transformer oil testing sequences and procedures are defined by various

international standards. Power utility companies have a vested interest in

periodic oil testing since transformers represent a large proportion of their total

assets.Through such testing, transformers' life can be substantially increased,

thus delaying new investment of replacement transformer assets. To assess

the insulating property of dielectric transformer oil, a sample of the transformer

oil is taken and its breakdown voltage is measured.

The transformer oil is filled in the vessel of the testing device. Two
standard-compliant test electrodes with a typical clearance of 2.5 mm
are surrounded by the dielectric oil.
A test voltage is applied to the electrodes and is continuously increased
up to the breakdown voltage with a constant, standard-compliant slew
rate of e.g. 2 kV/s.
At a certain voltage level breakdown occurs in an electric arc, leading to a
collapse of the test voltage.
An instant after ignition of the arc, the test voltage is switched off
automatically by the testing device. Ultra-fast switch off is highly desirable, as
PRESCON CONFIDENTIAL Page 4 of 15
REF#20740005720716 Transformer Oil Testing Report
the carbonization due to the electric arc must be limited to keep the additional
pollution as low as possible.
The transformer oil testing device measures and reports the root mean
square value of the breakdown voltage.

After the transformer oil test is completed, the insulation oil is stirred
automatically and the test sequence is performed repeatedly. (Typically 6
Repetitions, depending on the standard)
As a result the breakdown voltage is calculated as mean value of the individual
measurements.
