    winding resistance tolerance for a transformer test

    Here is a question for you ,what is the winding resistance tolerance for a transformer test and what are you using as a reference for your answer.That was on the level four test.

    You need to look at IEEE C57.12.90 it is a updated standard stating that winding resistance readings has no specific standards and will only be used as a reference .

    Adwell International LTD: If all readings are within one percent of each other then they are acceptable. Keep in mind that the purpose of the test is to test for gross differences between the windings and for opens in the connections.

    That was not the question ,it ask what was the tolerance differences not the goal of the test

    So that's 5%, 1%, or "no standard" depending on the reference. The goal of the question may be for you to match the standard to the reference. I've also seen 1/2% for factory testing from Megger corp.

    According to Megger: The industry standard (factory) permits a maximum difference of 1/2 percent from the average of the three phase windings. Field readings may vary slightly more than this due to the many variables. If all readings are within one percent of each other, then they are acceptable.
