Step 1.
Isolate the equipment, apply working grounds to all incoming and outgoing cables and disconnect all incoming
and outgoing cables from the transformer bushing terminals. Disconnected cables should have sufficient
clearance from the switchgear terminals greater that the phase spacing distance.
Use nylon rope to hold cable away from incoming and outgoing terminals as required.
Step 2.
Step 3.
Short-circuit all high voltage bushing terminals together.
Step 4.
Short-circuit all low voltage bushing terminals and the neutral
bushing terminal together.
Step 5.
Connect the capacitance and dissipation factor test set. Refer to Figure 1 above.
Step 6.
Record the capacitance and dissipation factor values once the null meter is balance for both phasing position.
Record values for the five test-variable selector switch position.
Power Transformer Testing Measuring capacitance and power factor or dissipation factor
The condition of the bushings and the overall insulation of power transformers can be investigated by measuring
the capacitance and dissipation factor, also known as the tangent delta, or power factor. Aging and decomposition
of the insulation, or the ingress of water, increases the losses and thus more energy is turned into heat in the
insulation.
The level of this dissipation is expressed by the dissipation factor or power factor.
