Surge Arresters

If the transformer is equipped with surge or lightning arresters, these may be

tested as well. If the arrester is a single-stack unit, its HV connection must be

disconnected to eliminate the measurement of losses from other connected
apparatus (such as switch and support insulators). Multi-stack arresters may be

tested without disconnecting if desired. The procedure described below assumes

single-stack arresters are being tested.

Nameplate, serial number and location information for each arrester should be
entered so that future testing can be compared to specific units.

Tests 28 to 36 are measurements of the arrester insulation. Only test voltage,

current and watts are recorded for arresters. The HV lead is attached to the

arrester HV terminal. No connection using the Red or Blue leads is necessary.
The Test Mode used is GST-GND. Once the HV lead is connected, right-click

on the blue highlighted field on the desired test line to initiate the test sequence.

Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the test.
