TAN DELTA TEST FOR POWER
     TRANSFORMERS
TAN DELTA(INSULATION DISSIPATION FACTOR)
 Tan delta is the insulation power factor & is equal to
  the ratio of power dissipated in the insulation in
  watts to the product of effective voltage & current in
  volt ampere when tested under sinusoidal voltage.
PROCEDURE
 All windings immersed in insulating liquid.
 All windings shortcircuited using bare braided
  jumper such that jumper shall not be allowed to sag.
 All bushings in place.
 Temperature of winding & insulation liquid near to
  the reference temperature(27 degree).
 All bushings cleaned properly.
 Transformer earthed properly.
 Neutral,star point of 3 phase winding connected to
  other bushing of that winding by means of short
  jumper.
 Tan delta is then tested between below
  combinations,
   a. HV to EARTH
   b. LV to EARTH
   c. HV to LV.
TEST SETUP
