Tan Delta of 22KV to 415V transformer

Tan Delta of 22KV to 415V transformer

Tan Delta of 22KV to 415V transformer

(OP)
Can anyone provide information on conducting PF/DF tests on lower rated transformers. Specifically in regards to voltages and frequencies to be applied and which tests are required for a two winding transformer. (GST,GST ga, UST etc) It appears that 10KV is a recognised acceptable voltage but obviously im not going to apply this to the LV terminals of a 415V Transformer.
Thanks in advance for your help

RE: Tan Delta of 22KV to 415V transformer

I dont think u need to apply 10kV. You can test the winding @ 1000V and then extrapolate it to 10kV.  

I do not think that the frequency of the test voltage can be changed. Your tester shall have test voltage @ 60Hz. Since P=V^2w.C.Tandelta, frequency will increase your insulation PF.

The normal tests would be GST (grounded speciment test- where  the ground current is measured (eg.HV to LV+Gnd)

GSTg (Guarded) - Guard the circuit that does not need to be measured (eg. HV to Gnd - LV guarded)

UST(ungrounded specimen test) - No ground current (eg. HV to LV only).

Tan Delta ( as u know) is temperature dependent.

You should be able to get more info from the test kit operation manual about specific connections etc.

May be you already know, but don't forget to test the HV
bushings also. They should have a nameplate indicating
a tandelta and capacitance (c1) values.
