4 Test procedure

This test procedure is not standardized. The items with the test type not indicated are routine tests.

To be specific, the following items are included.

a) Strength test of oil tank (type test);

b) Oil tank leak test;

c) Measurement of dielectric characteristics:

1) Determinations of insulation resistance, absorption ratio and polarization index (for transformers of 35kV, 4,000kVA and above, 66kV and above, the insulation resistance and absorption ratio shall be given; for those of 330kV and above, the insulation resistance value, absorption ratio and polarization index shall be given; for other small and medium-sized transformers, only the insulation resistance value is given);

2) Measurement of dielectric dissipation factor (for those of 35kV, 8,000kVA and above, and 66kV and above).

d) Transformer oil test:
