VOLTAGE TRANSFORMERS ROUTINE TEST PROCEDURE

VOLTAGE TRANSFORMERS ROUTINE TEST PROCEDURE
C57.13.5 Test procedures for voltage transformers.

Applied voltage test on the neutral terminal
With the ground link temporarily removed from the neutral terminal of the transformer, a voltage of 19 kV (r.m.s.) shall be applied between the neutral terminal and the ground for 60 s.

The gas pressure of the gas-filled transformer may be at any setting equal to or less than the pressure given in Clause 5 for the test.

The transformer shall be considered as having met the requirements if no external and internal disruptive discharge or collapse of voltage is observed.

Accuracy test
The test shall be performed in accordance with 8.1 of IEEE Std C57.13-1993.
The calibration of the test system given in 4.3 shall apply.

The gas pressure of the gas-filled transformer may be at any setting for the test.
The transformer shall be considered as having met the requirements if the performance is within the limits of
the accuracy class.

Excitation characteristics with respect to rated voltage factor
The excitation current of the voltage transformer shall be measured in accordance with 8.3.2 of IEEE Std C57.13-1993, with the voltage corresponding to the rated voltage factor applied to one of the windings and
with the other windings open-circuited.

The impressed voltage shall be measured with both the r.m.s.-voltmeter and the average-voltmeter (but r.m.s. calibrated). The form factor, defined as:

where
Vrms = voltage measured with the r.m.s.-voltmeter, and
Vavg = voltage measured with the average-voltmeter.

The exciting current and the form factor shall be included in the routine test report.

The gas pressure of the gas-filled transformer may be at any setting equal to or less than the pressure given in Clause 5 for the test.

The measured excitation current shall be compared with the design value to ensure proper construction.

Resistance measurement of windings
The resistance of all the windings including tapped portions of the windings shall be measured in accordance with 8.5 of IEEE Std C57.13-1993. The measured values shall be corrected to 75 °C.

The gas pressure of the gas-filled transformer may be at any setting for the test.

The resistance data obtained shall be compared with the design values to ensure proper construction.

PARTS OF A POWER TRANSFORMER

What are the name of the basic parts of a Power Transformer? We can not deny the fact that only a handful of electrical engineering students are presently familiar with power transformers especially on what it looks like. Unlike a transformer we found in our homes, a power transformer’s appearance and construction is somewhat more complicated. It is not just a simple winding with a primary and secondary terminal although basically any transformer has one. The function that a power transformer plays in an electrical system is very important that an electric utility can not afford to loss it during its operation. Our discussion here will focus more on the basic parts and functions of a power transformer that are usually tangible whenever you go to a substation . Although not all power transformers are identical, nonetheless they all have the following listed parts in which the way of construction may differ.

ELECTRIC MOTOR FRAME SIZE STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS

ELECTRIC MOTOR FRAME SIZE STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS How is electric motor frame size being specified? Motor frame dimensions have been standardized with a uniform frame size numbering system. This system was developed by NEMA and specific frame sizes have been assigned to standard motor ratings based on enclosure, horsepower and speed. The current standardized frames for integral horsepower induction motors ranges from 143T to 445T. These standards cover most motors in the range of one through two hundred horsepower. Typical example of where you can locate the frame is shown in Fig 1.2.D – Frame No. The numbers used to designate frame sizes have specific meanings based on the physical size of the motor. Some digits are related to the motor shaft height and the remaining digit or digits relate to the length of the motor. The rerate, or frame size reduction programs were brought about by advancements in motor technology relating mainly to higher temperature ratings of insulating mate

ELECTRIC MOTOR NAMEPLATE SPECIFICATIONS

How do we interpret an electric motor nameplate? Motor standards are established on a country by country basis.Fortunately though, the standards can be grouped into two major categories: NEMA and IEC (and its derivatives). In North America, the National Electric Manufacturers Association (NEMA) sets motor standards, including what should go on the nameplate (NEMA Standard MG 1-10.40 "Nameplate Marking for Medium Single-Phase and Polyphase Induction Motors").
