263 Heat Run Test of Three Phase Transformer

This technical manual describes how to conduct a heat run test on a three-phase transformer. The test subjects the transformer to continuous rated load conditions to determine the temperature rise. Full rated voltage is applied to one winding for iron losses, while the other winding is connected in delta with an external current source to produce copper losses. Temperature sensors in the windings record the temperature over time until it reaches steady state, indicating the full load temperature rise of the transformer under test.

HEAT RUN TEST ON THREE PHASE TRANSFORMER

AIM

To study heat run test on a three phase transformer.

INSTRUMENTS REQUIRED

(a) 3 Phase Transformer 1 KVA. 440/440 V, Delta/Delta with terminals

brought out on the front sheet.

(b) It consists of MS fabricated box with engraved circuit fitted on the

panel with duly marked termination and also back door of the panel

having lock facility for safety of panel along with all the required

accessories and measuring instruments

(c) Temperature indicator.

(d) RTD fixing in winding of transformer.

THEORY

Heat run test is one of the type tests on power transformer. This test

is also called temperature rise test. This test reproduces conditions of

continuous rated load and the temperature rise occurring during the load.

For conducting heat run test on the three phase transformer, full rated

voltage is applied to one of the windings which accounts for full load iron

losses and other winding is connected in delta, because of balanced

condition of all three phases voltage in the delta loop is zero and with the

help of external source full load current is circulated in the delta

connected winding of the transformer to account for full load copper

losses.

With the help of RTD provided in the winding of transformer

temperature of the transformer winding is recorded. Steady state

temperature of winding indicates the full load temperature rise of the

transformer.

PROCEDURE

1. Make the connections as per the circuit diagram given in

fig. attached.

2. Increase the voltage in the primary winding with the help of

3 phase variac to rated voltage.

3. Adjust the current in the closed delta secondary winding to the

rated current of the secondary winding.

4. Record the temperature of the winding after every 15 minutes

till temperature of winding reaches to a steady state condition

i.e. temperature does not rise any more.

5. Time taken to reach the final temperature give idea about the

thermal time constant of the transformer and final temperature

gives the full load temperature rise of the transformer.
