8. INSULATION RESISTANCE TEST FOR CT

Between primary winding and ground
Perform the test using a Megger set for the appropriate range.
Performs the test on the primary winding of each phase, with the primary windings of the other
phases temporarily connected to ground
The secondary windings are connected together and to ground.
Apply the test voltage for 1 minute. The test voltage varies with the ratings of the equipment
under test
LV: 6 to 100 volts (direct current)
MV: 100 to 1000 volts (direct current)
HV : 1000 to 5000 volts (direct current)
Between secondary winding and ground

Successively measure the insulation resistance between each winding and the other
windings connected to ground. Apply 500 VDC for one minute.

9. CIRCUIT RESISTANCE MEASURES FOR CT

Concerning some types of relays such as differential relays, high impedance relays, the
secondary side and loop resistance measures must be done.
10. PRIMARY CURRENT TEST FOR CT

The measurements are performed with single-phase current, with the secondary loops in
final condition (relays, meters, etc...) and grounded.
For current measurement, use a clamp-on-ammeter to avoid opening the secondary
circuits.
Measure the voltage (mV) across the primary winding as a check that the primary winding
is in correct operating condition and that the connections are correct (very low contact
resistance).

The following checks can be performed.
10.1.
TRANSFORMERS TURNS RATIO & POLARITY TESTS
Measure the primary and secondary currents. Test equipment compares primary and secondary
current values and also checks polarity itself.

10.2.
CONSUMPTION POWER (BURDEN) FOR CT

Check the secondary loop consumption using the same set-up.
Use a clamp-on-ammeter to measure the current. Measure the voltage directly
across the secondary winding.

The power can thus be established:

P(VA) = U(V) x I(A)
With three-phase current and for a similar circuit, the readings should be almost
identical for each phase. If the readings show excessive differences, check all the
circuit connections to eliminate contact resistance.
The loop resistance can be calculated or measured using a milliohmmeter.
NOTE:
The primary current tests are performed following the current transformer,
relaying, metering and measuring equipment tests. These tests are the last tests
performed on secondary windings. Check that the unused windings are shorted.
11. SATURATION CURVE FOR CT

Determine the knee voltage.
This test performs an automatic injection of a exciting voltage of up to 2 kV to the current
transformers secondary side. Test equipment increases voltage slowly and at the same time the
exciting current also increases. The saturation point is defined at the point that voltage cant
increase as fast as the exciting current still increases.
The saturation point is obtained when the current varies by 50 % for a 10 % voltage variation. It is
not necessary to perform numerous readings of the straight portion of the curve. Perform
measurements especially near the knee. Then make the voltage very slowly while the current
increases fast.
CPC 100 draws the curve by itself and defines the saturation point and displays.

12. SPECIAL SAFETY PRECAUTION

ACCEPTANCE TESTING, STORAGE and INSPECTION before and after start-up of
72.5 to 765 kV current transformer of all types
Connections
When work is performed on an operating substation bay, a rather high current can be
induced by the adjacent bays in the loop made up by the ground connections, which can
flow through the current transformer primary windings.
Opening a CT secondary winding in the above configuration may cause over-voltages
greater than the normally permissible values, which can damage insulation.
Therefore, care should be taken to avoid opening secondary circuits and especially:

Sayfa 9 / 11
when connecting a CT to an operating substation, connect the secondary circuits and

check for continuity before connecting the primary winding
when performing work on the secondary circuits of a CT of an operating substation

bay, short out the CT secondary windings upstream the point of intervention before
opening the circuit.
13. INSULATION RESISTANCE TEST FOR VT

To obtain values as close as possible to the manufacturers specifications, the insulators
must be very clean.
Select the Megger range corresponding to the ratings of the equipment under test :
LV: 6 to 100 volts (direct current)
MV: 100 to 1000 volts (direct current)
HV: 1000 to 5000 volts (direct current)
The theoretical values are furnished by the manufacturer.

14. POLARITY TEST FOR VT

The polarity is checked using the kick method (application of direct current) and check of
deflection on a bidirectional milliammeter.
This test is also used to check primary and secondary circuit continuity.
- When switch K is closed, the milliammeter pointer deflects upscale.
- When the circuit is opened, the milliammeter pointer deflects in the negative direction.
15. TRANSFORMER TURNS RATIO TEST FOR VT

A variable AC source is applied on the primary side. The primary and secondary voltages
are measured to determine the ratio V2 / V1.
