Rent Always Reliable Raytech Winding Resistance Test Sets from Protec

Winding resistance measurements in transformers are important for the following purposes:

1. Calculations of the I2 R component of conductor losses.

2. Calculation of winding temperature at the end of a temperature test cycle.

3. As a base for assessing possible damage in the field.

Transformers are subject to vibration. Problems or faults occur due to poor design, assembly, handling, poor environments, overloading or poor maintenance. Measuring the resistance of the windings assures that the connections are correct and the resistance measurements indicate that there are no severe mismatches or opens.

Many transformers have taps built into them. These taps allow ratio to be increased or decreased by fractions of a percent. Any of the ratio changes involve a mechanical movement of a contact from one position to another. These tap changes will also be checked during a winding resistance test.
