C & TAN d BRIDGE
Applications :
Power Systems. Testing of H.T. Transformers, Motors, Generators, Bushings.
Power Cables H.T. & L.T. Power Capacitors High Voltage Laboratories.
INTRODUCTION
Electrical properties of insulating systems change due to age and
continuous electrical stress. By measuring electrical properties such as
Capacitance and Tan d regularly it is possible to ensure the operational
reliability of H.V. insulating systems and to avoid costly breakdowns.
This is particularly important for high voltage bushings, power
transformers, generators, power capacitors, H.T. cables etc.
SIVA
Capacitance and Tan d test set comprises of C and Tan
d Bridge Model MLS-11DM, High Voltage Power
Supply Model HLS-4 with built in standard capacitor, and set of cables.
The compact design of the Bridge uses the principle of three winding
differential transformer on a high permeability u metal core. The Bridge
is contained in a sturdy metallic housing with u metal lining which
shields it from external electromagnetic & electrostatic influences.
Built in battery powered Null indicator makes the Bridge suitable for
operation in workshop, factories, High Voltage sub-stations, Switch
Yards etc. The High Voltage Power Supply model HLS-4 is provided
with built in SF6 gas filled
standard capacitor. It is suitable for both grounded as well as
ungrounded objects.
Capacitance & Tan d are measured directly, no further calculations are
required. |

Built in battery operated electronic Null Detector. This type of Null Detector is
most suitable for balancing of the Bridge. It gives high sensitivity and
accuracy for most of the applications and it is very user friendly. Phase
sensitivity Null Detector can be given in place of electronic Null Detector on
request. For higher sensitivity and accuracy. oscillographic null detector model
MK-1 for critical operation is also available. Interface Suppression
The C & Tan d Bridge has been specially shielded with u metal sheets to avoid
the effect of external interferences. This makes the measurement accurate in
both indoor as well as out door applications particularly in Switch yards. Phase
reversal switch provided in the H.V. Power Supply effectively cancels
interference/pick up by the object under test in energised environment. For
situation where the induction is excessive, and cannot be cancelled by phase
reversal switch a separate three level interference suppression unit can also be
given with separate C & Tan d adjustments. Protection :
The Bridge is provided with built in high voltage protection devices which
protect the Bridge and operator against failure of test object or standard
capacitor. Size : L=345, B=370, H=190 mm
Weight : <15 Kg. |

15 KVA or with a tap at lower voltage for higher current is also available).
Switch for three different types
measurement
1) UST - Ungrounded Specimen test - 3 combinations
This mode is used when the object under test is not grounded. This test
provides most accurate results.
2) GST - Grounded Specimen test
This mode is used when the object under test is permanently grounded. This
test is used more often in outdoor installations, power systems etc.
3) GSTg - Grounded specimen test with guard. 3 combinations.
This mode is used for measuring the stray capacitances and separating
it from basic measurement in GST mode.

COMPRESSED GAS STANDARD CAPACITOR |
 |

Compressed Gas Standard Capacitor is a fixed capacitor used as
capacitance standard in Bridge circuit for precision measurement of
Capacitance and Tan d of high voltage test objects.
The main
feature of these capacitors is negligible dissipation factor ( Tan d )
The electrodes are made of polished metal and enclosed in a suitable
housing for protection against dust and moisture. The compressed gas
capacitor is filled with Sulphur Hexafluoride (SF6 ) under moderate
pressure
