 METHOD OF STATEMENT
FOR VOLTAGE
TRANSFORMER

1.0 Purpose
This method statement will give a brief step to be carried out for testing and commissioning
of voltage transformer.
2.0 Scope
This procedure describes the method to be adopted for:
 VT testing.
3.0 Reference
 Approved schematic drawing
 Project HSE Plan
 Project Quality Plan
 Tender Specification
4.0 Man power
a) Project Engineer (permit holder) -01
b) Testing Engineer (DCRP) -01
c) HSE Officer -01
d) Technician -01
5.0 Procedure
 Ensure that all reference documents are available at site.
 Ensure that valid permits are obtained from concerned authorities wherever
applicable.
 Ensure only trained persons shall operate the power tools.
 Ensure all concerned personals shall use PPE and all other items are required.
 Ensure adequate lighting is provided in the working area at night time.
 Ensure service area/work area openings are provided with barricade, tape and safety
nets.
 Ensure that wiring is done as per the schematic and wiring drawings
6.0 Preparation for testing
 All materials and relevant documentation to this testing works shall be checked by the
responsible personnel prior to the commencement of testing activities.
 Before any item of equipment is accepted for testing a visual inspection will be
carried out on that equipment. Where defective equipment is found it will be reported
to consultant for further action.
 The testing electrical engineer/supervisor should confirm the availability of necessary
single phase for testing activities.
 METHOD OF STATEMENT

 The testing electrical engineer/supervisor should confirm the availability of proper

access to the site area in which the equipment has to be tested.
 The testing engineer will instruct the supervisor regarding the testing works and will
arrange for all necessary schematic drawings and test formats to be available at the
testing area.
 The supervisor will check that all the necessary tools and equipment’s to be used for
testing are available in the testing area.
 After the testing work is completed, the supervisor checks all the testing equipment
and returns to the storage cabin.
 While carrying out the testing work the testing engineer will fill all the necessary test
formats. After completion of testing work the testing engineer will obtain the
signature of relevant officials: consultant.

7.0 Voltage Transformer testing:

The following VT testing are carried out at site.
7.1 Visual inspection
7.2 IR test
7.3 Secondary winding resistance test
7.4 Ratio & polarity test
7.1 Visual inspection:
 Damage, paint, cracks checks.
 Tightness checks
 Earthing connection checks
 ‘Labels/Marking rating plate correctness checks
 Ferrules/terminal numbering checks

7.2 IR test:
 Before proceeding to IR test ensure all the earth links are open condition in switchgear.
 Apply high voltage (5kV) with IR tester to each phase in CT primary with reference to
ground and measure the resistance value.
 Then measure the Insulation Resistance between Secondary to Earth, Primary to Secondary,
Secondary to Secondary with 500V.

7.3 Secondary winding resistance test:

 Measure the winding resistance of all the secondary cores of the VT by use multimeter

7.4 Ratio & polarity test:

 Before starting the ratio test ensure all the secondary cores are opened except the measuring
VT secondary core.
 Apply voltage to the primary of the voltage transformer according to ratio of the secondary
core with CPC 100 and measure the ratio.
 Check the polarity of the secondary core with respect to primary core by CPC100 while
doing the Ratio test.

8.0 Safety Precautions and Measures

8.1 Control Measures
 Calibration/fitness certificates shall be provided for all equipment to be used for the
testing work.
 HSE officer will ensure all the labour/Site staff shall be wearing proper PPE inside
site.
 All worker/Site staff/visitors shall be allowed only after wearing appropriate PPE in
the site.
 No work shall be carried out night without prior approval of Owner/Engineer.
8.2Safety Provision
The following safety and precautionary measures will be taken prior to start of the
activity.
 Tool box talk shall be conducted and all workers who shall be involved in the CT
testing works shall be well oriented to the nature of work.
 Ensure the work force deployed for these activities are having adequate skill and
undergone required HSE training.
 Ensure required LOA/PTW is available at site before starting the job.

 All equipment’s, tools & tackles shall be checked by HSEA before starting the
job.
 Segregated access for equipment and workers shall be provided.
 Ensure enough drinking water is available at work site.
 Ensure work crew is provided with adequate transportation facilities.
 Ensure all employees are clear about their job, tasks and hazards involved.
 Ensure all the testing kits and tools to be used are in good working condition.
9.0 Responsibilities
 Project Manager is over all responsible for Safety, Quality and Progress of
the Project.
 Safety Engineer Will Monitor all works are being carried out in accordance
with the safety requirements on site.
 Testing Engineer shall be responsible for the site testing activities and
implementation of all testing plans.

 Alert the nearby workers to reach to the nearest assembly point
 Do not to get panic and do not run.
 Inform the site HSE officer and other key personnel from the emergency
contacts numbers displayed in the site.
 Call emergency services if required.
 Supervisor shall make head count and report.
11.0 Records
 Quality Records
 Inspection forms
 SAT(Site acceptance test) reports
