Short Circuit Test System
Short Circuit Test Systems for Transformer Validation
Distribution transformers must withstand severe external short circuits caused by service line faults, wiring issues, or load failures. Our test systems validate transformer durability against these critical failure modes.
Testing Standards Compliance
| Standard | Requirement |
|---|---|
| IEC 60076-5 | European short-circuit withstand requirements |
| ANSI C57.12 | North American mechanical stress standards |
| GB 1094.5 | Chinese thermal withstand specifications |
Tested Fault Conditions
Line-to-Ground Faults: Most common failure mode
Line-to-Line Faults: Phase-to-phase short circuits
Double Line-to-Ground: Severe combined faults
System Capabilities
Mechanical stress simulation during faults
Thermal overload capacity testing
Post-test insulation resistance measurement
Winding deformation analysis
