Construction Method Statements
Below is a standard method statement which can be used as learning purpose and to prepare further
professional method statement for testing and commissioning of transformers.
Required tools for transformer testing & commissioning.
Portable Hand Tools / Tool Box.

Digital Multimeter
Earth Resistance Tester
Megger Tester.
Safety requirements tools such as safety shoes, safety helmet, safety glasses, fluorescent vest, and
safety gloves to ensure maximum ability of safe work and dust mask when require.
Procedure Of Transformer Testing & Commissioning

Ensure only trained persons shall operate the power tools.
Ensure all concerned personals shall use PPE and all other items as required.
Ensure adequate lighting is provided in the working area at night time.
Ensure service area/work area openings are provided with barricade, tape, and safety nets.
Preparation for testing
1. Prior to the commencement of any permanent

works, areas and access will be inspected to
confirm that they are in a condition for
permanent works to commence ensuring the
environment is clean and dry. Testing will
commence only after the equipment is
completely installed as per approved method
statement for the installation of the Transformer
and released for testing commissioning.
2. All materials and relevant documentation to this
testing works shall be checked by the
Advertisement: responsible personnel prior to the
commencement of testing activities.
Current
3. Before any Item of equipment is accepted for
testing a visual inspection will be carried out on
Transformers that equipment. Where defective equipment is

found it will be reported to Consultant for further
HOBUT Current action.

4. The testing Electrical Engineer/Supervisor
transformer range should confirm the availability of necessary
manufactured in the UK. Three Phase AC power supply and Single
phase for testing activities.
5.hobut.co.uk The testing Electrical Engineer/Supervisor
should confirm the availability of proper access
to the site area in which the equipment have to
be tested.
6. When a satisfactory pre-testing inspection has been carried out, the testing work will commence.
7. The testing Engineer will instruct the supervisor regarding the testing works and will arrange for all
necessary schematic drawings, data sheets and test formats to be available at the testing area.
8. The supervisor will check that all the necessary tools and equipments to be used for testing are
available in the testing area.
9. After the testing work is completed the supervisor checks all the testing equipment and returns to
the storage cabin.
10. While carrying out the testing work the Testing Engineer will fill all the necessary test formats. After
completion of testing work the Testing Engineer will obtain the signature of relevant officials:
Consultant.
Testing & commissioning of transformer
Method of testing of Transformers:
Visual inspection:
Correctness of installation, assembly.
Damage, paint, cracks checks.
Tightness Checks.
Earthing Connection Checks.
Labels/Markings Rating Plate Correctness Checks.
Ferrules/ terminal Numbering Checks.

Insulation Resistance measurement for primary winding
Earth the Secondary winding
Apply Voltage on the Primary winding
Observe readings and record in the test format
Insulation Resistance measurement for Secondary windings
Earth the Primary windings
Apply Voltage on the Secondary windings
Observe readings and record in the test format
Windings Resistance measurement
Ensure the contacts at bushings are cleans
Hold the sensing probes across the conduct between which the contact resistance is to be measured
(Test Current 10A DC).
Observe the reading and record in the test format.
Ratio Measurement
Ensure that both the Primary and Secondary windings are not connected to any cables/Bus bar.
Ensure the tap Changer in lowest tap Position.
Apply three phase supply voltage (415 V AC) across the Primary Termination of the Transformer.
Measure the secondary (LV) voltage at the LV termination. Observe the reading and record in the test
format.
If the tap changer is Off load type, switch of the power supply and rise one step and apply the Three
phase 415 V AC across the Secondary termination and measure the voltage at both Secondary and
Primary side.
The above step to be carried-out until the highest tap.
Alternatively, test is performed with a digital ratio meter which measures the ratio value of the transformer
and simultaneously checks the vector group and the polarity.
Vector group Checks
Ensure that both the Primary and Secondary windings are not connected to any cables /Bus bars.
Connect the R phase of the Primary winding and R phase of the Secondary winding (Short R phase
of Primary and Secondary termination).
Apply 3 phase supply voltage (415 V AC) across the Primary Termination of the Transformer. Measure
the voltage at the both Primary and Secondary termination at all the phases. Observe the reading and
record in the test format.
Apply the formula or plot the values in the graph to get the vector group.
Magnetic Balance Test
Ensure that both the Primary and Secondary windings are not connected to any cables/Bus bars.
Apply 3 phase supply voltage (415 V AC) across the 1U & 1V and measure the Corresponding Voltage
for 1U-1V, 1V1W & 1U1W.
Switch off the Supply and repeat the test again by applying the voltage in 1V & 1W and Measure the
corresponding voltage for 1U-1V, 1V1W & 1U1W.
Again, Switch off the Supply and repeat the test again by applying the voltage in 1U & 1W and Measure
the corresponding voltage for 1U-1V, 1V1W & 1U1W.
Observe the reading and record in the test format.
On site Protection
Until the Equipment is permanently energized, client should ensure that a protective cover will Remain
over all the equipment that is being tested.
