Type tests of transformer includes

  1. Transformer winding resistance measurement
  2. Transformer ratio test.
  3. Transformer vector group test.
  4. Measurement of impedance voltage/short circuit impedance (principal tap) and load loss (Short circuit test).
  5. Measurement of no load loss and current (Open circuit test).
  6. Measurement of insulation resistance.
  7. Dielectric tests of transformer.
  8. Temperature rise test of transformer.
  9. Tests on on-load tap-changer.
  10. Vacuum tests on tank and radiators.
