The document discusses tests performed on a transformer to check its stability under different conditions. A series of tests were conducted including: 1) Three-phase balanced injection on the HV side to measure currents on the HV and LV sides. 2) Simulation of an unbalanced condition by opening a CT finger to measure unbalanced currents. 3) Single phase injection on the HV side to check REF stability and sensitivity with no neutral current. 4) Reversing the neutral BCT polarity to simulate an unstable condition. 5) Three-phase injection on the HV side and current measurement on the tertiary winding by removing its grounding.

THE STORY OF TRANSFORMER STABILITY

The transformer stability test used to conform the CT connections for Differential and REF protection. This test
also used as a primary injection test for HV & LV side BCT's.

Example Transformer Data

Voltage Ratio : 230/ 34.5/13.8 kV


MVA Rating : 100/133 MVA
Vector Group: YNyn0(d5)
% Impedence : 12.24 @ 100 MVA BASE.

CALCULATION TO FIND THE PRIMARY AND SECONDARY CURRENT

PRIMARY SIDE : -

HV side full load current = Power / 3 x Voltage = 10010^3 = 100000000 = 251 Amps
3 230 1000 399050

HV side Impedence = HV side Voltage = 230 1000 = 916 Ohms


HV side full load current 251

HV side Impedence/ Phase = HV side Impedence X % Impedence = 916 X 12.24 = 112 Ohms
100

HV side current / Phase = Applied Voltage / HV side Impedence/ Phase

= 380 / 112 = 3.38 Amps

LV side SIDE : -

Transformer Ratio = 230/ 34.5 = 6.66

LV side current = 6.6666* 3.38 = 22.53 Amps

TEST -1 Three Phase Balanced Injection


Test connection: Three phase short circuit outside protected zone on 34.5kV side. Three phase voltage injected
on HV side = 380V

The balanced current can measured in the relay as follows

elay - Primary Current (A)


HV LV
3.326<0 22.201<181.141
3.205<241.5 22.935<59.28
3.288<121.5 23.573<299.34

Note : -

1. LV current 180 dec phase sifted from HV current.

2. No return current in Neutral

TEST -2 Three Phase Unbalanced condition

To make this condition open any one of CT FT fingers and short by insert the FT jack.

The Unbalanced current can measured in the relay as follows

elay- Primary Current (A)


HV LV
0.00 21.985
0.00 22.226
0.00 22.265

TEST -3 Three Phase REF balanced condition


Test connection: Three phase short circuit outside protected zone on LV side. Single Phase Injection was done
one by one on the primary to check the stability and sensitivity.

1. No return current in Neutral


2. During single phase injection voltage will developed in the one phase Tertiary winding. If winding is
connected with ground a circulating current will flow through ground during stability.

TEST -4 Three Phase REF Unbalanced condition


Polarity of the neutral BCT was reversed at the protection panel to simulate the unstable condition.
TEST -5 BCT primary injection

PRIMARY INJECTION HV & LV WINDING :

Test connection: Three phase short circuit outside protected zone on LV side. Three phase voltage injected on
HV side = 380V

PRIMARY INJECTION TERTIARY WINDING :

Test connection : The shorting and grounding bar was removed from the Delta winding and current was injected
with Severker Test Kit and secondary currents were measured in the Transformer LCP panel.
