Tan-Delta and Capacitance Test Set For HT Generator/Motor Testing
Tan-Delta and Capacitance Test Set For HT Generator/Motor Testing
PE‐MCDF‐SP15/500
Capacitance & Dissipation Factor (Tan‐Delta) test system
15kV / 500mA (special requirement)
Electrical properties of insulating systems change due to age and continuous electrical stress. By measuring electrical properties such as
Capacitance and Tan‐Delta regularly it is possible to ensure the operational reliability of H.V. insulating systems and to avoid costly
breakdowns. This is particularly important for HV bushings, Power Transformers, Generators, Power Capacitors, H.T. cables etc.
15kV/500mA test sets, in conjunction with tuned reactors are specifically designed to test Generator/Motor of 13.8kV, either
individually, or all the 3 phases together.

Protection
The system is provided with High Voltage Protection Devices which protect the system and operator against failure of test object
or standard capacitor. The other safety features are –
• Zero start control
• Open Ground Indication Lamp
• HT Cut Off on overload
• HT ON/OFF Indication Lamp
• All operating controls are at earth potential
The set consists of heavy shielded HV transformer with required tappings and current ranges with necessary controls and
protective circuits, feeding transformer and its guard circuit and auxiliary bridge, all this to eliminate any bit of stray capacitance.

It expands the range of measurement of the C&DF test set. Used in conjunction with the C&DF set, it allows extending the short term
rating of power supply from 500mA to 4.5A. This capacity is suitable for testing capacitances up to 1000nF (1µF) at 15kV, which is of
utmost importance in HT/MV Generators, Motors etc.
• Can be used in the UST, GST and GSTg modes
• Use of resonating inductor does not alter the accuracy of the test set in any way
• Has selection tapping of 2A and 4A, at 15kV.
