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 all windings, ensuring proper temperature and cleaning of bushings, and properly grounding the transformer. Tan delta is then tested between the high voltage winding to earth, low voltage winding to earth, and between the high and low voltage windings. Test results for a 100MVA 33kV/220kV transformer are provided, showing tan delta values between 0.2616 and 0.4983 for the different winding combinations tested.

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.
