Insulation Resistance Testing of Power Transformers

Overview

Insulation resistance (IR) testing assesses transformer insulation condition.

Test Connections

  • HV to ground (LV grounded)
  • LV to ground (HV grounded)
  • HV to LV (both to ground)

Interpretation

Minimum 1 MΩ per volt rule. Polarization index (PI) > 2.0 indicates good insulation.
