CP TD1 User Manual Influence of different parameters as water content, temperature and aging on DF Figure 4-5 shows the breakdown voltage and the DF in oil, dependent on the water content . With low water content, the breakdown voltage is very sensitive; with higher water content, the DF is a good indicator.

The dissipation factor is dependent on the frequency. With modern test devices like the CPC 100 + CP TD1, it is possible to cover a wide frequency range for capacitance and DF measurements. Conventional fingerprint measurements for comparison are normally available only at line frequency.

Figure 4-11: CP TD1 measuring principle The CP TD1 test system utilizes a method similar to that of the Schering bridge. The main difference is that the CP TD1 measuring principle does not require tuning for measuring C and DF. C is a low loss reference capacitor.
"UST" and "GST" Measurements Using the Guard Technology The CP TD1 has three external measuring inputs, IN A, IN B and ground. Those three inputs can be individually switched to guard or to the measuring unit. If an input is switched to the measuring path, the connected capacitance is part of the measurement.

CP TD1 User Manual • Short-circuit all bushing CTs. • Do not perform high-voltage tests on transformers under vacuum. • The test voltage should be chosen with respect to the rated voltage of the winding. • All tests should be made with oil temperatures near 20 °C. Temperature corrections can be calculated by using correction curves, but they depend a great deal on the insulation material, the water content and many other parameters.
Insulation C , insulating the low-voltage windings from the core, also consists of oil and paper but there usually is much less paper present than in the C insulation. OMICRON...
