Obstacles to Measuring Power Transformer Winding Resistance

Charles SweetserCorporate Alliance Corner, Summer 2019 CAP Corner

DC winding resistance is a simple concept that relies on the fundamental application of Ohm’s Law. It is a powerful tool to determine continuity in power transformer winding circuits, specifically connections and tap changer contacts. However, performing a dc winding resistance test presents several technical difficulties that must be overcome: The power transformer’s magnetizing inductance must be removed through saturation …
