begins to condense. The transportation of transformer from the
factory of manufacturers works upto the purchasers site is
done with dry Nitrogen gas filled condition, due to weight
limitation. Positive gas pressure say 0.25 kg/cm2 is normally
maintained during transportation as well as during storage. In
case positive pressure is not maintained then due to
hygroscopic properties of insulation used in transformer

possibility of absorption of moisture in insulation can not be
overruled. Therefore to check the dryness of insulation,
measurement of dew point at factory prior to despatch and at
site prior to oil filling is necessary and to be carried out. It

will not be accepted. Gas chromatographic analysis of oil
shall be conducted before and after heat run test and the
values shall be recorded in the test report. The sampling
shall be in accordance with IEC-60567. For the evaluation
of the gas analysis in temperature rise test, a method will be

of gases and the maximum limit will be mutually discussed
and agreed upon between the Purchaser and Supplier. This
shall be treated as reference during maintenance of transformer
in future.

active part as assembled for type test (i.e. including pipe work
and cooling equipment and excluding PRV and conservator
when air cell is provided) shall be subjected to a
pressure corresponding to twice the normal head of oil or to
normal pressure plus 35 kN/ m.sq.(5psi) whichever is lower
measured at the base of the tank and will be maintained
for 12 hours during which time no leakage shall occur. Before
conducting the pressure test, the following are to be taken
care of :
(i) Pressure relief valve are to be removed and the opening
blanked .
(ii) Transformer and tap changer conservators are to be
disconnected.
(iii) Diverter switch compartment of tap changer to be
connected with transformer tank for equalising the
pressure on both sides.

In case Tan delta of transformers during testing at
works of manufacturer is measured above maximum

ceiling of 0.45% at 200C (degree Centigrade)
temperature, then MPPTCL reserves right not to accept
such of the transformer. This requirement is to be
confirmed specifically by the Bidders in their offer.

and ratio test for bushing CT..
(F) Checking & recording of following:

set and also SFRA test shall be conducted by the manufacturer
at site using same SFRA test set at the time of erection &
commissioning of unit.
(L) Measurement of Dew point prior to despatch of the unit,
filled with N2 gas: Dew point is the temperature at which

water vapours present in the gas filled in the transformer
begins to condense. The transportation of transformer from the
factory of manufacturers works upto the purchasers site is
done with dry Nitrogen gas filled condition, due to weight
limitation. Positive gas pressure say 0.25 kg/cm2 is normally
maintained during transportation as well as during storage. In
case positive pressure is not maintained then due to
hygroscopic properties of insulation used in transformer
possibility of absorption of moisture in insulation can not be
overruled. Therefore to check the dryness of insulation,
measurement of dew point at factory prior to despatch and at
site prior to oil filling is necessary and to be carried out. It
may be noted that dew point shall be measured at factory prior
to despatch. Temperature, pressure and dew point at the time
of gas filling (reading taken after stabilisation) shall be taken
and painted on the transformer tank. The minimum
permissible value of dew point shall be ()25oC at normal
temperature and pressure.

(A) Temperature Rise Test
This test as per cl. 16.8 of IS:2026(Part- II) shall be conducted
at the lowest voltage tap having maximum current with 10%
overload conditions. The supplier before carrying out such
tests, shall submit detailed calculations showing the
alternatives possible, on various taps and for different ratings
(ONAN/ONAF), of the transformer and shall recommend the

combination that results in highest temperature rise, for the
test.
Since 100 MVA transformer is a auto transformer the
temperature rise test shall be conducted for the condition of
simultaneous loading of all three windings for their respective
ONAF rating i.e 400 KV and 132 KV winding corresponding to
current of 100 MVA and 33 KV winding for 33.33 MVA. Loading
on two windings for 100 MVA transformer for the measured
losses will not be accepted. Gas chromatographic analysis of oil
shall be conducted before and after heat run test and the
values shall be recorded in the test report. The sampling
shall be in accordance with IEC-567. For the evaluation of the
gas analysis in temperature rise test, a method will be
proposed which is based on the rate of increase of particular
gases and the permissible limits of minimum detectable value
of gases and the maximum limit will be mutually discussed
and agreed upon between the Purchaser and Supplier. This
shall be treated as reference during maintenance of
transformer in future.
The calibration of OTI and WTI shall be done by Transformer
Manufacturer and these calibrated OTI,WTI shall be used during
testing of transformer. The Sr. No. of WTI,OTI shall be
recorded during testing of transformer and these indicators

could be done at site to avoid discrepancy in temperature
gradient recorded during factory test and the value recorded at
site.
