Transformer Testing 11

The document discusses methods for testing the polarity and ratio of transformers. It describes how to determine if a transformer has subtractive or additive polarity based on voltage measurements. The AC polarity test can be done at the same time as the transformer ratio test using either voltage measurements or a transformer turns ratio test set. The tests are used to check that the transformer's nameplate voltage values match the actual values for different tap settings.

Figure 49: AC Method for Testing Transformer Polarities

For the voltmeter, when VPOL = VH - VX the transformer functions with subtractive
polarity and terminals A and B would be labeled X1 to X2, respectively. Conversely,
when VPOL = VH + VX the transformer has additive polarity and terminals B and A would
be labeled X1 to X2, respectively as polarity terminals are diagonally opposite each
other.
The AC Polarity test method can be conveniently made during the Transformer Ratio
test. The methodology used to check ratio include the Voltage method and the
Transformer Turns Ratio (TTR) test set. The test is used to check nameplate voltage
values for the range of taps on the transformer.
