Understanding Key Parameters in Transformer Oil Testing

AI Thread Summary
Key parameters in transformer oil testing include Initial Stand Time, Rate of Rise of Test Voltage, Intermediate Test Time, Intermediate Stand Time, Maximum Duration of Selected Sequence, and Standard Deviation. These terms are essential for understanding the breakdown voltage test, which is crucial for assessing transformer oil quality. It's recommended to refer to the relevant testing standards specific to your country for detailed definitions and guidelines. Engaging with colleagues or industry professionals may also provide clarity on these terms. Understanding these parameters is vital for effective transformer oil testing and ensuring operational safety.

Hi, when it comes to Transformer Oil testing, there are some parameters that we need to consider but i don't understand their definitions and i can't find their explanations online, so may someone please define these terms for me that what these terms actually mean? the terms are as follows:

Initial Stand Time

Rate of rise of test voltage

Intermediate test time

Intermediate stand time

Maximum duration of selected sequence

Standard Deviation

Why are you testing transformer oil? What is the context of the question? Is this for schoolwork? If not, one would think you could just ask the folks who you are working with, or whoever tasked you with this project.
 
Parameters which were listed are characteristic for breakdown voltage test. Usually this test is necessary for transformer oil. And your parameters description you can to find in standarts.
 
While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...
Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
