SUBSTATION MAINTENANCE
Turn Ratio Test
•This test is used to make sure that the Turns Ratio
between the transformer is correct
•Turns determines the output voltage of the
transformer with respect to the input voltage
• This test detects shorts between turns of the
same coil, which indicates insulation failure
between the turns
•Turn Ratio Tester / Transformer Turn Ratio is
being used
SUBSTATION
MAINTENANCE
Winding Resistance Test
• This test is used to determine the following:
1. Calculation of I2R component of conductor
losses
2. Possible loose connections, broken strands,
and high contact resistance in tap changers
• Micro ohmmeter or Kelvin Bridge is being
used
SUBSTATION
MAINTENANCE
Insulation Resistance Test
• This test is used to determine the quality of
insulation within the transformer
• Also known as Megger Test
• Insulation resistance tester is being used
SUBSTATION
MAINTENANCE
Dielectric Breakdown Voltage (DBV) Test
• This test is performed to measure an insulating
liquid’s ability to withstand electric stress
• Dielectric Breakdown voltage tester is being
used
SUBSTATION
MAINTENANCE
Insulation Power Factor
• This test indicates the dielectric loss (leakage
current) of the oil
• High power factor indicates deterioration and/or
contamination by products such as water,
carbon or other conducting particles; metal
soaps caused by acids; attacking transformer
metals and products of oxidation
SUBSTATION
MAINTENANCE
Dissolve Gas Analysis (DGA)
• This test provides the dissolved gases in the oil
• Close observation of dissolved gases in the oil
and other oil properties provides the most
valuable information about the health of the
transformer
SUBSTATION
MAINTENANCE
Water/Moisture Content
• Measurement of how much water present in the
oil
• Water accelerates the deterioration of both the
insulating oil and paper insulation
SUBSTATION
MAINTENANCE
Oil Chemical Analysis
• Interfacial Tension (IFT)
• Measures the tension at the interface between two liquids
(oil & water) which do not mix
• This test is sensitive to the presence of oil decay products
and soluble polar contaminants from solid insulating
materials
• Acidity / Neutralization number
• Amount of potassium hydroxide (KOH) in milligrams (mg)
that it takes to neutralize the acid in 1 gram (gm) of
transformer oil
• Acid attacks cellulose and accelerates insulation
degradation
SUBSTATION
MAINTENANCE
Relay Testing
• Check and verify the operations & accuracy of
protective relays

Gas Circuit Breaker
• Insulation Resistance
• Contact Resistance
• SF6 Gas Test
