How to take vector group test of a transformer?

Suppose we dont know the vector group of transformer, how to check its vector group through test? I have 3 transformer DYn11 %26amp; DYno%26amp; Ynd11, how to confirm its vector group?|||Dissolved Gas Analysis (DGA) is a proven and


meaningful method. If increased levels of


hydrocarbon gases are found in the oil, the fault


must be located as soon as possible. Hence


important preventative maintenance must be


performed in time to avoid an unexpected


total failure.


The most frequent


sources of faults are the tap changers, bushings,


the paper-oil insulation and the accessory


equipment.


In order to find the source and reason for


high gas values, further tests have to be


performed on the transformer. Common test


methods are:


l Turns ratio, vector group and excitation


current measurement


l Static winding resistance measurement


l Dynamic winding resistance measurement


to test the on-load tap changer (OLTC)


l Sweep frequency response analysis


(SFRA) measurement


l Frequency dependant capacitance and


dissipation factor measurement


l Di-electric response analysis


l Partial discharge (PD) measurement


Turns ratio, vector group and excitation


current measurement


The transformer turns ratio test (TTR) is performed


by applying a test voltage (typically 500 V


L-L) to the HV winding of a transformer and


measuring the LV voltage. The test can either


be performed as single-phase or threephase


and typically is performed for each


tap step of a tap-changer. In the case of


a three-phase injection and if testing a YD


or DY transformer, the injected or measured


voltage on the delta winding needs to be


adjusted by a factor of 鈭?.


The vector group test (VG) is performed in a


very similar fashion as the TTR test 鈥?except


that it is performed by injecting a balanced


three phase voltage, i.e. this test is not


possible with a single phase injection.
