This document provides instructions for operating a bushing test tap. It discusses:
- The general design of the test tap, which allows access to a control layer insulated from the flange.
- The purposes of the test tap, which include measuring capacitance C1 and loss factor tan δ, as well as permanent voltage measurements or partial discharge monitoring at up to 1.5kV.
- Connection procedures for capacitance and power factor measurements or permanent measurements using a plug coupler and shielded cable.
- Insulation tests are done at 3kV for 1 minute during routine bushing testing according to IEC 60137.
