Instrument Transformer Commissioning

The importance of instrument transformer testing is often undervalued although these components are indispensable for power system protection and energy billing. Hence the consequences of a faulty or inaccurate instrument transformer can be disastrous in terms of personal safety, damage to the power system and reliability of supply.

Ensuring that they are accurate and performing to the best of their ability is vital for anyone who owns or operates electrical power equipment – and it’s equally vital to engage a company with the experience, expertise and test equipment to carry out efficient and reliable work on any instrument transformers.

Our technicians and our test systems can carry out a series of standard tests efficiently, such as determining the magnetisation characteristic, saturation behaviour, transformation ratio and its accuracy, polarity, load, winding resistance, withstand voltage or remanence. We support the tests with a detailed report providing a significant overview of the condition of your instrument transformers providing peace of mind before energisation.
