Cross-Check Analysis Power factors generally similar to Overall power factor. Assist in evaluating questionable Overall test results.Isolate localized condition to one end of primarywinding versus a general condition. Sum of two cross-check currents should approximateoverall current. Same is true for Watts (andcapacitance). Unsatisfactory comparison couldindicate an open circuit or high resistance connection.

Safety CommentsBefore placing a voltage transformer in operation: One terminal of each secondary winding must alwaysbe grounded, either directly or through aninterconnection. The electrostatic voltage coupled to asecondary winding may reach a dangerous anddestructive value unless it’s connected to ground. The reduced insulation neutral terminal of a gradedinsulation line-to-neutral voltage transformer mustalways be solidly grounded. Never short-circuit a voltage transformer secondarywinding. This will produce very high current in thissecondary winding and cause it to overheat and fail.54April 26, 2007 2007 Doble Engineering Company -74th Annual International Doble Client ConferenceAll Rights Reserved
