Transformer Testing Course – e-lesson #17: Capacitance and dielectric dissipation factor measurement

Event Details:
This is e-lesson #17 in Transformers Testing course, authored and presented by Balazs Sztari. It is presented on the Master’s level.
The 17th lesson of the Transformer Testing Course focused on capacitance and dielectric dissipation factor (DDF) measurement in power transformers. These measurements are crucial for assessing insulation quality during factory acceptance tests (FAT) and on-site commissioning. The session covered the relevant standards, theoretical background, instrumentation, test procedures, influencing factors, and practical applications for transformers and capacitor bushings.

The current lesson introduced capacitance and DDF testing, focusing on:
- Standard references
- Theoretical concepts
- Instrumentation and test procedures
- Capacitance and dissipation factor measurement for windings and insulation
- Testing of capacitor bushings
- Factors influencing measurement results
