Dry Type Medium Voltage Transformer

1. Transformer Testing (ANSI C57.12.91)

Medium voltage dry-type transformers are tested to ensure compliance with quality and performance standards:

No-Load Losses: Measured at rated voltage.
Load Losses: Assessed under full load conditions.
Percent Impedance: Verified at rated current.
Excitation Current Test: Conducted at 100% voltage.
Ratio Tests: Performed across all tap settings.
Polarity and Phase Relation Tests: Confirmed for correct orientation.
Induced Potential Tests: Ensures insulation strength.
Impulse Tests: Includes full wave and reduced wave scenarios.
