Three phase transformers

Transformer Magnetic Balance Test

The magnetic balance test is a most commonly used proactive test is performed only on three-phase transformers to detect the faults in the core and to verify the imbalance in the magnetic circuit also to identify inter-turn faults in the transformer at the early stage of manufacturing work. HOW DO WE TEST TRANSFORMER MAGNETIC BALANCE? Transformer Magnetic Balance Test Procedures: 1. Keep the transformer Tap Changer in an ordinary position. 2. Apply a single-phase AC voltage on one of the terminals of the HV winding. 3. Measure the voltage between the two other HV terminals. 4. Repeat the test for each of the three phases. Left side phase Central phase  Right side phase AN BN CN Voltage applied at [...]
