1S 2705 (Part 1) ; 1992 ANNEX D (Clause 9.7) METHODS OF TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT D-1 SELF RESISTANCE METHOD DeleL In the self-resistance method, the temperature tise of winding is determined by the increase in the resistance of the: conductor its D-L.1.1 The temperatuze of the winding andthe oi or other medium surrounding the winding measured before beginning the test should not differ. The initial resis- tance and the initial temapermture of the winding should ‘be measured under slendy temperature conditions, at the same time. D112 Since the cesistance of copperovera range of temperature varies indirect propottion to the tempera- ture as measured from minus 234.5°C, the ratio ofthe bot temperature (Z,) to the cold temperature (T,) may bbe calculated from the ratio of the hot resistance (R,) to the cold resistance (R,) as follows: R, +2345 7,4 2345 R, R, or, = Gh (1+2345)- 2348 D-1.1.3 The temperature-tise is the difference be- tweenthe calculated temperature 7; and thatof the sur- ‘rounding air at the conclusion of the test. D-1.2. The method of testing by increase in resistance is applicable at the ambient temperature of the test room to all windings having a resistance of not less than 0.01 ohm. For windings bavinga resistance of ess than 0.01 ohm, the surface temperature should be taken by thermometer or thermocouple. D-2 THERMOMETER METHOD 1-21 Three types of thermometers may be employed, namely bulb thermometers containing mercury or akobol and resistance thermometers. D-22 When bulb thermometers are used in places ‘where there is any varying or moving magnetic Geld, those containing alcobol should be wsed in preference. to those containing mercury in which eddy currents imay produce sufficient Reat to yield misleading results. D-23 When a thermometer is used to measure the temperature ofa surface suchas that of winding, the bulb shall be surrounded by a single wrapping of tin foil having a thickness of not less than 0.025 mm. The tin foil shall form a complete covering for the bulb, ‘which shal then be secured in contact with the surface uundertest. The exposed part of the wrapped bulb shall be completely covered with a pad of heat-insulating material, without unduly shielding the test surface from normal cooling. D-3 THERMOCOUPLE METHOD 1D-3.1 The two conductors between which the thermo- electric effect is produced shall be welded at both the hot end cold junction (see IS 2053 : 1974). D-3.2 When applied to the surface the tensperature of which is to be measured, the hot junction shall be covered with insulation and wrapped with tin described for bulb thermometers. The the Circuits shall be earthed t0 minimize the possibility of capacitance currents. D-33 The protecting pad of heat insulating materia! specified in D-32 shall be employed whether the junction is insqlated or not. D-34 The cold junction shall be maintained steady temperature. When an oi bath is used, the oi ‘should preferably be contained ina vacuum flask or be ‘thermostatically controlled, and the oil temperiture shall be measured by means of a thermometer. D4 MEASUREMENT OF AMBIENT TEMPERATURE ‘D-4.1 The temperature of the surrounding air shall be ‘by means of at least two thermometers, 30 placed as to take account of the maximum and raini- sum temperatures, andthe mean reading shall be
