1. TRANSFORMER STABILITY TEST PROCEDURE.
1.1 OBJECTIVE: The objective of this test is confirming that the differential relay / REF relay
does not operate at normal conditions even though load currents are high. It should operate
when a fault occurs it on in zone.
1.2. SOURCE: Suitable 3phase generator – 480 volt – 60 Hz
1.3. PRECAUTIONS:
Good earthing of the Generator.
Good earth of the Transformer Neutral Points and the shield of the cables.
The correct size of connected cables.
Determine working zones and places and preventing any person to be in these zones.
Suitable MCB for 3-phase supply.
CT terminal blocks must be checked and tightness well.
Temporary cable short in Transformer secondary X1X2 & X2X3 terminals of LV winding
side (RYB).

2.2 PROCEDURE FOR TRANSFORMER STABILITY TEST: HV TO LV
2.2.1 Apply 3ph 380V at primary side of the transformer and short all the 3 phase LV after Differential
CT's
2.2.1 Expected HV side short circuit primary Current:
= Rated Current x Applied Voltage x 100
% Impedance Rated Voltage
= 267.70 * 380 / 10.70* 34500 *100
= 27.56 A
2.2.2 Expected CT Secondary of HV side:
= Expected HV SC Current x CT Secondary Current
CT Secondary Current
= 27.56 * 1 / 400
= 68.90 mA
2.2.3 Expected LV side short circuit primary Current:
= Rated Current x Applied Voltage x 100
% Impedance Rated Voltage
= 669.30 * 380 / 10.70* 34500 *100
= 68.90 A
