Transformer Testing Course – E-LESSON #2 – Measurement of voltage ratio and check of phase displacement

Hosted by: Balazs Sztari / Free
This lesson covers the measurement of voltage ratio and phase displacement on power transformers. It explains the importance of these tests, which are mandatory according to industry standards. The lesson discusses different methods for measuring voltage ratio, including the voltmeter, bridge, and ratio meter techniques. It also covers how to check polarity and phase displacement, emphasizing the need to properly prepare the transformer before testing. The lesson highlights the evaluation of test results, including the acceptable deviation limits specified in standards. It compares the requirements between IEC and IEEE standards, noting differences in terminology and criteria. The lesson concludes by mentioning that additional questions will be answered offline or in future lessons.
