What to Know about CT Tangent Delta Testing?

CT stands for Current Transformer, which is a crucial factor in the overall electrical system. A diagnostic test called CT tangent delta testing , sometimes referred to as power factor testing, is carried out on current transformers to evaluate the state of the insulation and general performance. The power factor or dissipation factor of the insulating material used in the CT is measured by the tangent delta test. On the other hand, transformers, generators, motors, and other electrical machinery are all subjected to winding resistance testing as a diagnostic procedure to determine how resistant their windings are. It assists in determining the state of the windings, identifying any anomalies, and ensuring appropriate operation. The main aspects of resistance testing are: Purpose: Verifying the reliability of the electrical connections within the windings is the main goal of this test. It aids in locating problems such as faulty connections, high-resistance joints, conductors tha...
