10.3 Measuring equipment
10.3.1 Measuring bridge
To measure capacitance and tangents delta, use a measuring bridge (Schering bridge).
Examples of measuring bridges:

For the use of bridges, see the manufacturer’s operation manual.
10.3.2 Power source
For measuring the capacitance and tg
δ
1
use at least a 10 kV power source. The source may be independent
or embedded in the measuring equipment.
10.4 Installation and connection of the bridge
Make sure that the transformer is off and out of service.
For safe and reduce influence of interference, short circuit all the transformer winding. Ground the winding
that are not connected to the bushing being tested.
Connect the measuring bridge to the test tap as required in the relevant operation manual.
Depending on which insulator is checked, connect the power source (test voltage) to the terminate plate or
the test tap.
Testing wires must be as short as possible and must not contact grounded objects.
The test tap must be clean and dry.
10.5 Measurement procedure
Connect the grounding terminal of the bridge to the transformer grounding terminal. The flange of the
bushing not installed on the transformer and to be measured must be grounded.
Before putting the bushing into service, carry out a measurement of dissipation factor tg
δ

and capacity C
1
at the voltage up to 10 kV in order to have a reference for later checks.
On completion of measuring, remove the test adapter from the test tap and screw on the protective cover to
protect the test tap from moisture and contamination (in this case the test tap is grounded automatically).
The test tap must not be open during service or storage.
