(j) Measurement of the load loss at normal tap and extreme taps. (To be carried out by
three wattmeter method with low power factor wattmeters at full rated current).
(k) Measurement of no load loss, no load current and determination of knee point
voltage:-
This test is to be carried out with three wattmeter method by using low power factor
wattmeters, three power factor meters, phase sequence meters, three low range ammeters
and three each of average value and RMS value voltmeters. The test voltage from 10%
voltage to 121% voltage shall be applied and currents, voltages (Average value and RMS
value), wattmeters, power factor and frequency meter readings in all the three phases are to
be recorded during the test. A saturation characteristic curve between the no load voltage
(rms) vs. Measured current is to be plotted on the graph sheet, so as to determine the
voltage at which increasing voltage by 10% (ten percent), the excitation current shall not
increase by more than 50% (fifty percent). The knee point voltage as per specification will
be complied if the excitation current at 121% of rated no load voltage shall not exceed by
not more than 50% over the excitation current, obtained at 110% of the rated no load
voltage. During the no load test, supplier’s own generator set shall be used for feeding the
above no load voltages at rated frequency. If the applied frequency is greater than the rated
frequency, then proportionate voltage as per the rated frequency will be fed during the
above no load test and following frequency correction formula along with the formula,
stipulated at Clause No 16.5 of IS:2026 (Part-I) shall be used.
For Example: - If measured loss = X Watts, correction factor due to r.m.s. and
average voltage as per ISS = K1 and frequency correction factor = K as per above formula, then
corrected loss will be calculated as = measured loss • K1 • K.
If applied frequency is less than the rated frequency, no frequency correction formula will
be applied. Rated voltage at that frequency will be fed during the no load test.
N.B.:- 1) If power analyser is to be used for determination of no load loss, no load current,
Impedance Voltage, short circuit losses etc., its manual of operation, calibration
certificate and the relevant standard for its use shall be produced prior to one
