    Power transformer energization

    We have commissioned and tested a power transformer 63MVA, 132/33kV, but because of the delay of executing the 132kV source cable we didn't energize the transformer, it's now about one year since our testing, what tests can be done before energize the transformer? Keeping in mind we have done...

    Power factor correction - over compensation

    Hello, A poor power factor can be improved by adding power factor correction capacitors to the plant’s distribution system. Correction capacitors provide needed reactive power (kVAr) to the load. If some thing happened by an Inadvertent mistake, and the compensated reactive (capacitive) power is...

    Power transformer insulation test

    We have old power transformer working since 1976. It is 33/11 kV, we change its oil, and treat all leaking in its body, but when we test its insulation using 5 kV Megger its insulation value was just 80 M ohm, but the temperature was 50 degree centigrade. According to the tables this value is...
