7.1.10. Compare results with the full-load-current indicated on the motor nameplate. If the motor is
reversed, the current will be much less than the nameplate full-load-current
7.1.11. Check oil pumps with a if they develop unusual noises. Mention in report if any.
7.1.12. Inspect the bearings for any wear and tear.
(c) Fans and Radiators
7.1.13. Inspect all isolation valves at the tops and bottoms of radiators to ensure they are open.
7.1.14. Inspect cooling fans and radiators for cleanliness and fans for proper rotation.
7.1.15. Check for dirty or damaged fan blades or partially blocked radiators.
7.1.16. Check to see if fans are reversed electrically (i.e., pulling air first through the radiators and then
through the fan blades). This means that the blades are rotating in warm air after it passes
through the radiator, which is much less efficient.
7.1.17. Place a hand on the radiator opposite the fans; air should be coming out of the radiator against
your hand. Watch the blades as they rotate slowly when they are starting or stopping to determine
which way they should be rotating and correct the rotation if necessary

7.3.1.8. Check the top oil transformers temperature. If temperature, pressure, or oil level gauges never
change, even with seasonal temperature and loading changes, something is wrong, Note the
comments for replacement.
7.3.1.9. For the gauges, make sure that the gauge is not stuck, or data sheets may have been filled in
incorrectly
7.3.1.10. Check the extra pointer, which normally red, indicates maximum temperature since the last
time the indicator was reset. This red pointer rises with the main pointer but will not decrease
unless manually reset; thus, it always indicates the highest
7.3.1.11. Now record the temperature of the windings through the thermometer dedicated for it on
the transformer.
7.3.1.12. If either dial indicator is more than 5 ºC different than the mercury thermometer, it should
be replaced with a spare.
7.3.1.13. Now carefully inspect the temperature and oil level data sheets.
7.3.1.14. Examine the DGA (Dissolve Gas Analysis) Report for evidence of leaks or other problems.
7.3.1.15. Check for excessive corrosion and oil leaks. Pay special attention to flanges and gaskets
(bushings, valves, and radiators) and the lower section of the main tank
7.3.1.16. Report oil leaks to maintenance, and pay special attention to the oil level indicator if leaks
are found
7.3.1.17. Severely corroded spots should be wire brushed and painted with a rust inhibitor

7.3.2.11. An extra pointer, normally red, indicates maximum temperature since the last time the
indicator was reset. This red pointer rises with the main pointer but will not decrease unless
manually reset; thus, it always indicates the highest. Check this extra pointer functionality.
7.3.2.12. Now record the temperature of the windings through the thermometer dedicated for it on the
transformer on the inspection sheet and time for check.
7.3.2.13. If either dial indicator is more than 5 ºC different than the mercury thermometer, it should
be replaced with a spare.
7.3.2.14. Inspect pressure devices to see if they have been operating properly.
7.3.2.15. This must be done from a high-lift bucket if the transformer is energized.
7.3.2.16. Look at each pressure relief device to see if the yellow (or blue) button is visible. If the device
has operated, about 2 inches of the colored rod will be visible. Make sure to re-set the device as
per the instructions of plant operator.
7.3.2.17. Test the alarm circuits by operating the switch by hand and making sure the correct
annunciator point is activated.
7.3.2.18. If the relief device operates during operation, do not re-energize the transformer; Frequency
Measurement Equipment and other testing may be required before re-energizing, and an oil
sample should be sent for analysis.
7.3.2.19. While the transformer is de-energized, functionally test the Buchhholz relay by pumping
a small amount of air into the top chamber with a squeeze-bulb hand pump
7.3.2.20. Check to make sure the correct alarm point has been activated. Open the bleed valve and
vent air from the chamber.
7.3.2.21. On some relays, a rod is provided so that you can test both bottom and top sections by pushing
the floats down until the trip points are activated.
7.3.2.22. If possible, verify that the breaker will trip with this operation.
7.3.2.23. Use DMM to check the switches. If these contacts activate during operation, it means that the
oil level is very low, a pressure wave has activated (bottom contacts), or the transformer is
gassing (top contacts).
7.3.2.24. If this relay operates, do not re-energize the transformer until you have determined the
exact cause.
7.3.2.25. If a small amount of gas is found in this relay when the transformer is new (a few months
after startup), it is probably just air that has been trapped in the transformer structure and is
now escaping; there is little cause for concern.
7.3.2.26. If the transformer has been online for some time (service aged), and gas is found in the
Buchholz, oil samples must be sent to the lab for DGA and extensive testing.
7.3.2.27. Consult with the Plant Electrical Team and definite cause of the gas bubbles must be
determined and corrected before re-energization of the transformer.
7.3.2.28. Careful measurement of winding resistance can detect broken conductor strands, loose
connections, and bad contacts in the tap changer (de-energized tap changer [DETC] or LTC).
7.3.2.29. Results from these measurements may indicate the need for an internal inspection

7.3.2.30. A bypass device is sometimes used across tap changers to ensure power flow in case of
contact failure. This prevents failure of the transformer in case excessive voltage appears
across faulty contacts. Check the bypass device.

7.3.3.28. Consult with the Plant Electrical Team. A definite cause of the gas bubbles must be determined
and corrected before re-energization of the transformer.
7.3.3.29. Do Careful measurement of winding resistance which can detect broken conductor strands,
loose connections, and bad contacts in the tap changer (de-energized tap changer [DETC] or
LTC).
7.3.3.30. Results from these measurements may indicate the need for an internal inspection if needed.
7.3.3.31. A bypass device is sometimes used across tap changers to ensure power flow in case of
contact failure. This prevents failure of the transformer in case excessive voltage appears
across faulty contacts. Check the Bypass device functionality.
7.3.3.32. Do core insulation resistance and core ground test if an unintentional core ground is suspected;
this may be indicated by the DGA. Refer to next section for testing & commissioning. This test
is only necessary if the winding resistance test shows all connections and tap changer contacts
in good condition. Some oil may have to be drained to accomplish this and bring core grounds
outside through insulated bushings and are easily accessed.
7.3.3.33. Attach DC Megger® (1,000-volt Megger® is recommended) between the core ground lead (or
the top of the core itself and the tank [ground]) and check the resoatnce.
7.3.3.34. Apply a DC voltage between these points, and measure the resistance. A new transformer
should read greater than 1,000 mega-ohms. A service-aged transformer should read greater than
100 mega-ohms. Ten to one-hundred mega-ohms is indicative of deteriorating insulation
between the core and ground. Less than 10 mega-ohms is sufficient to cause destructive
circulating currents and must be further investigated [20]. A solid, unintentional core ground
may read zero ohms; this, of course, causes destructive circulating currents and must be
corrected before energization.

7.3.3.35. Frequency Measurement Equipment test set is used along with accompanying software. The
software automatically performs analysis of test results and responds with a four letter code:
G
= Good, I = Investigate, D = Deteriorated, and B = Bad.
7.3.3.36. If a “D” or “B” code is encountered, the insulation should be re-tested, carefully investigated,
and the problem explained before re-energizing
7.3.3.37. internal inspection should be considered before the unit is re-energized
7.3.3.38. If the problem is severe, the unit may have to be taken out of service.
7.3.3.39. The purpose of this test is to determine the state of dryness of the windings and insulation
system and to determine a power factor for the overall insulation, including bushings, oil,
and windings
7.3.3.40. The power factor should not exceed 0.5% at 20 EC. Temperature correction of test results can
be performed automatically on the Frequency Measurement Equipment test set.
7.3.3.41. The power factor should not exceed 0.5% at 20 EC. Temperature correction of test results
can be performed automatically on the Frequency Measurement Equipment test set.
7.3.3.42. Measures and records the capacitance (including bushings) between the high and low-voltage
windings, between the high-voltage winding and the tank (ground), and between the low-
voltage winding
and the tank (ground)
7.3.3.43. Perform the excitation test before any dc tests. Excitation current tests should never be
conducted after a dc test has been performed on the transformer
7.3.3.44. Detect short-circuited turns, poor electrical connections, core de-laminations, core lamination
shorts, tap changer problems, and other possible core and winding problems.
7.3.3.45. On three-phase transformers, results are also compared between phases. This test measures
current needed to magnetize the core and generate the magnetic field in the windings.
7.3.3.46. Frequency Measurement Equipment software only gives two indications on this test: “G” for
good and “Q” for questionable. On a three-phase, wye/delta or delta/wye transformer test, the
excitation current pattern will be two phases higher than the remaining phase
7.3.3.47. Compare the two higher currents only. If the excitation current is less than 50 milliamps
(mA), the difference between the two higher currents should be less than 10%
7.3.3.48. If the excitation current is more than 50 mA, the difference should be less than 5%. In general,
if there is an internal problem, these differences will be greater
7.3.3.49. For bushings that have a potential tap, both the capacitance between the top of the bushing and
the bottom tap (normally called C1), and the capacitance between the tap and ground (normally
called C2) are measured.
7.3.3.50. To determine bushing losses, power factor tests are also performed. C2 capacitance is
much greater than C1. Bushings without a potential tap are normally tested from the
bushing top conductor to ground.

WORK METHOD STATEMENT
7.3.3.51. Compare test results with factory tests and/or prior tests to determine deterioration. About 90%
of bushing failures may be attributed to moisture ingress, evidenced by an increasing power
factor from Frequency Measurement Equipment testing on a scheduled basis.
7.3.3.52. For a delta/wye transformer, a test voltage of variable frequency (normally 20 hertz [Hz] to
2 megahertz [MHz]) is placed across each phase of the high-voltage winding. With this set
of tests, low-voltage windings are isolated with no connections on any of the bushings.
7.3.3.53. An additional set of tests is performed by short circuiting all the low voltage windings and
again placing the test voltage on each phase of the high-voltage winding.
7.3.3.54. A third set of tests is made by isolating the high-voltage winding and placing the test voltage
across each low voltage winding.
7.3.3.55. Although other tests could have revealed this problem, SFRA showed the problem was with
“A” phase and, therefore, where to concentrate the internal inspection.

7.5.1.1. Check the condition of the soil & ground. Make sure the ground is not too moist which will
affect the testing of Grounding and select parameters as per that. Refer to Table: 01
7.5.1.2. Clear the area from the persons for effecting testing & safety.
7.5.1.3. Wear the necessary PPEs and Gloves.
7.5.1.4. First, the earth electrode of interest must be disconnected from its connection to the site.
Caution should be taken while disconnecting and make sure the system from which this
grounding is coming is not energized.
7.5.1.5. Second, connect the tester to the earth electrode.
7.5.1.6. For the 3-pole Fall-of-Potential test, two earth stakes are placed in the soil
in a direct line—away from the earth electrode.
7.5.1.7. Make sure the spacing of 20 meters (65 feet) is there. Refer to Table:02 below for further
spacing requirements.

WORK METHOD STATEMENT
7.5.1.12. If you do not get outside the sphere of influence, the effective areas of resistance will
overlap and invalidate any measurements that you are taking.
7.5.1.13. The Table:01 is a guide for appropriately setting the probe (inner stake) and auxiliary
ground (outer stake).
7.5.1.14. To test the accuracy of the results and to ensure that the ground stakes are outside the spheres of
influence, reposition the inner stake (probe) 1 meter (3 feet) in either direction and take a fresh
measurement. If there is a significant change in the reading (30 %), you need to increase the
distance between the ground rod under test, the inner stake (probe) and the outer stake
(auxiliary ground) until the measured values remain fairly constant when repositioning the inner
stake (probe)
7.5.1.15. Record all the readings on the Test Data Sheets and Mark as tested.
7.5.2.1. Check the condition of the soil & ground. Make sure the ground is not too moist which will
affect the testing of Grounding. Refer to Table:01
7.5.2.2. Clear the area from the persons for effecting testing & safety.
7.5.2.3. Wear the necessary PPEs and Gloves.
7.5.2.4. Testing Engineer to make sure that selective testing is feasible; the earth electrode of interest
does not need to be disconnected from its connection to the site. The technician does not have
to endanger himself by disconnecting ground, nor endanger other personnel or electrical
equipment inside a non-grounded structure
7.5.2.5. The tester is then connected to the earth electrode of interest, with the advantage that the
connection to the site doesn’t need to be disconnected.
