Page 13: About The Surge Test
2.4 About the Surge Test 2.4 About the Surge Test The ST 6600 surge tester can be used to test wound goods such as stators, rotors, transformers, etc. for insulation faults and pre-damage. The most significant difference between the surge test and all other EST tests (high voltage tests, insulation tests, etc.) is that there are no fixed thresholds to judge the test results as GOOD or FAIL. -
Page 14: Methods Of Evaluation
2 Description 2.5 Methods of evaluation 2.5.1 AREA Fig. 3: Curve with evaluation of error area Relevant for this method is the area included between a curve and the time axis. The area derived from the actually measured curve is compared to the area of the reference curve, and the percentual deviation is calculated. -
Page 15: Difa
2.5 Methods of evaluation 2.5.2 DIFA Fig. 4: Curves with differential error area This method determines the difference area of master curve and specimen curve, then calculates the ratio of that difference and the area of the master curve. This method is more stringent than the error area method, in that it also evaluates phase shifts caused by winding tolerances. -
