Experiment 2 LabSheet

The document outlines an experiment using a Megger for insulation testing of a transformer, detailing the necessary apparatus and procedure. It includes observation tables showing resistance measurements for phase-ground and phase-phase connections. The conclusion indicates that the transformer passed the insulation test, with phase-to-ground resistance being lower than phase-to-phase resistance.

Experiment-II
Title: Use of Megger for Insulation testing of a transformer
Apparatus
S. No. Equipment Range Type Quantity
1 Megger 230V, 1-phase 1
2 Connecting wires 3/22, 15A Few
3 Transformer

Theory
Megger is used for insulation testing. The insulation should be high in MΩ for good equipment
and will lie in Ω range for damaged equipment.

Circuit diagram:

Figure 1 (a). Transformer (b) Transformer insulation testing using megger
Procedure:
1. Remove completely external supply to transformer.
2. Connect leads to megger and set the megger voltage to 1000V.
3. Measure the insulation resistance

Observation Table:
Table 1. Phase-ground insulation resistance check
S. No. Connection Resistance (MΩ)
1 1.2-Ground 28 MΩ
2 1.1-Ground 28 MΩ
3 1.1-Ground 27 MΩ
4 2.1-Ground 103 MΩ
5 2.2-Ground 85 MΩ
6 3.1-Ground 878 MΩ
7 3.2-Ground 999 MΩ

Table 2. Phase-phase insulation resistance check


S. No. Connection Resistance (MΩ)
1 1.2-2.1 263 MΩ
2 1.2-2.2 769 MΩ
3 1.2-3.1 190 MΩ
4 1.2-3.2 724 MΩ
5 1.1-2.1 898 MΩ
6 1.2-2.2 756 MΩ
7 1.2-3.1 256 MΩ
8 1.2-3.2 789 MΩ
9 1.3-2.1 986 MΩ
10 1.3-2.2 265 MΩ
11 1.3-3.1 758 MΩ
12 1.3-3.2 758 MΩ

Conclusion:
From the above experiment, the resistance for phase to ground is less than that for the phase-to-
phase connection. We can also observe that the resistance increases as the phase-to-phase voltage
increases. Since, the resistance is in mega ohms, the transformer passes the insulation test.
