Tan Delta Test For Power Transformers

The document describes procedures for performing a tan delta test on power transformers to measure insulation dissipation factor. Key steps include short-circuiting windings, ensuring proper temperature and cleaning, applying voltage between combinations of HV, LV, and earth connections, and using an Omicron instrument to obtain tan delta results between 0.2616 and 0.4983 for the different winding combinations of a 100MVA, 33kV/220kV transformer.

TAN DELTA TEST FOR POWER TRANSFORMERS

TAN DELTA(INSULATION DISSIPATION FACTOR)


Tan delta is the insulation power factor & is equal to the ratio of power dissipated in the insulation in watts to the product of effective voltage & current in volt ampere when tested under sinusoidal voltage.

PROCEDURE
All windings immersed in insulating liquid. All windings shortcircuited using bare braided jumper such that jumper shall not be allowed to sag. All bushings in place. Temperature of winding & insulation liquid near to the reference temperature(27 degree). All bushings cleaned properly. Transformer earthed properly.

Neutral,star point of 3 phase winding connected to other bushing of that winding by means of short jumper. Tan delta is then tested between below combinations, a. HV to EARTH b. LV to EARTH c. HV to LV.
