Partial discharge tests in accordance with
IS 11322: 1985.NOTE -This test is applicable only
for current transformers with solid insulation for
highest system voltages 7.2 kV and above and
current transforms with liquid immersed

and above.

Partial Discharge Tester
5.1.1.2.5.2.
Measuring Instruments:

for

The measuring instrument used shall comply with 3.4 of IS: 6209- 1982.
The instrument used will depend on the quality to be measured and the quality
preferred in this standard is the apparent charge q expressed in Pico coulombs
(pC).

NOTE - Wideband measurement of partial discharges with a bandwidth of at least

100 kHz offers certain advantages especially where test objects with distributed
capacity and inductance are concerned. Normally, however, a narrow band
measurement of partial discharges is sufficient for instrument transformers,
particularly if there is a possibility of choosing between measuring frequencies in
the range 015 MHz to 2 MHz Preferred values are 0.5 MHz and 1 MHz, but, if
feasible, the measurement should be performed at the frequency which gives the
highest sensitivity.
5.1.1.2.5.3.

Testing Procedure:

The partial discharge test shall be carried out after all dielectric tests are
completed. The applied voltage shaI1 be raised to the pre stress voltage (values
given in Table 1) before reducing it to the partial discharge measuring voltage
also given in below Table 3.

than its declared highest system voltage Um, then, subject to agreement

products at reasonable cost. Whenever it is possible to clearly distinguish
between higher background disturbances and the partial discharges arising from
the test object, these higher disturbances may be permissible if agreed by
manufacturer and the customer.

with the secondary winding connected to the rated burden. The composite error
may be determined as given below.

Basic Circuit for

Direct
Measurement of
Composite Error
Current transformer having a
turns ratio 1:1 is shown in
Fig. 4. It is connected to a
source of primary (sinusoidal)
current, a secondary burden
with linear characteristics,
and to an ammeter in such a manner that both the primary and the secondary
current pass through the ammeter, but in opposite
directions. In this manner the resultant current through the ammeter will be
equal to the exciting
current under the prevailing conditions of sinusoidal primary current and the rms
value of that current, related to the rms value of the primary current, is the
composite error according to the definition.
5.1.3.2.2.3. Results to be obtained:
Obtained composite error should within the limits mentioned in Table 6.

Test Procedure:
5.1.4.2.5.1.
Knee-Point Voltage and Exciting
Current.
A sinusoidal voltage at rated frequency equal to the rated knee-point voltage
shall be applied to the
Secondary terminals, all other windings being open circuited and the exciting
current shall be measured. The voltage shall then be increased by 10 percent
and the exciting current shall not increase by more than 50 percent. The voltage
shall then be reduced to the values corresponding to the specified percentages
of the knee-point voltage and the exciting current shall be measured at each
such voltage. The exciting currents at the knee-point voltage and the specified
percentages thereof shall not exceed the specified limits.
5.1.4.2.5.2.
Secondary Winding Resistance.
The resistance of the secondary winding shall be measured and the value, when
corrected to 75C shall not exceed the value specified (if any ).
5.1.4.2.5.3.
Turns Ratio.
The turns ratio shall be determined and shall not differ from the specified ratio
by more than of 0.25 percent. For the method of measurement of turns ratio,
5.1.4.2.6.

Results to be obtained:

The error in turns ratio shall not exceed 0.25 percent.

The knee-point voltage shall not be less than the specified rated knee-point
voltage.
The exciting current(s) shall not be greater than the specified value.
When specified, the resistance of the secondary winding, corrected to 75OC,
shall not be greater than the specified value.
