2 Nothing caused more excitement thanthe teachers announcement of a test. Because a test confirmswhat you know, if you can apply in real life what you havelearned in a classroom, under strict, rigorous and controlledconditions. It is a chance to demonstrate of Power Transformers seems like a similar experience;and therefore ABB undertook to write this Testing has developed considerably over the pastyears. It evolved from the simple go-no-go verdict into asophisticated segment within transformer manufacturing. In thisbook we have laid down important aspects on transformertesting in order to enhance the understanding of the testingprocedures and its book represents the collective wisdom of over 100 yearsof Testing Power Transformers .
3 It has been written for trans-former designers, test field engineers, inspectors, consultants,academics and those involved in product believes that the knowledge contained in this book willserve to ensure that you receive the best Power transformerpossible.

Introduction1. transformer Testing ?Tests serve as an indication of the extent to which a transformeris able to comply with a customer s specified requirements;for example: Loading capability Dielectric withstand Further operating characteristicsTests are also part of a manufacturer s internal quality assuranceprogram.
10 A manufacturer s own criteria have to be fulfilled inaddition to requirements specified by customers and requirements are generally combined and published innational and international standards. The primary StandardsOrganizations are IEC and ANSI. These standards are often useddirectly to develop national standards. IEC is the abbreviation forInternational Electro-technical Commission and ANSI stands forAmerican National Standard Institute, the electric area, ANSI has to a great extent delegated thewriting and publication of standards to IEEE, the Institute ofelectric and Electronics Engineers, IEC and IEEE Standards specify the respective tests thatverify compliance with the above requirements; :Temperature rise tests to verify loading capability,see section 11 Dielectric tests to demonstrate the integrity of the transformerwhen subjected to dielectric stresses and possible over-voltages during normal operation, see section and load lo
