E-lesson: Transformer testing course – e-lesson #20: Mechanical tests of power transformers
Hosted by: Balazs Sztari / Master's level
Mechanical tests, as tightness tests and tank deflection tests will be presented in this chapter of TTC, including the testing of auxiliary (control and protection) devices of transformer. The lesson details the IEC and IEEE standard methods and their acceptance criteria, and some practical advice as usually in the Transformer testing course.
