3.2 Corrosion test IEC 61869-1 7.4.9

3.3 Fire hazard test IEC 61869-1 7.4.10

3.4 Test to prove that hydrophobic
coating prevents the disruptive
discharge under 100% relative
humidity
The transformer passes the test if no
disruptive discharge occurs during 1 min
under power-frequency voltage of 1.2Um
and 100% relative humidity including dew
condensation on the transformer surface.
The test shall be performed with UV
camera, the transformer passes the test if,
under a/m conditions, corona phenomena
does not occurs.
