Bushing C2 Tests
Bushings with test taps may also be tested to obtain a C2 insulation
measurement. The C2 insulation is the insulation between the test tap
connection and the bushing mounting flange. To perform a C2 test, the HV lead
is carefully connected to the bushing test tap and the Red lead is connected to
the bushing center conductor. Care should be taken not to cause physical
damage to the test tap, as the tap connection point may be a small pin or a
flexible spring. If this is the case, use a small insulated jumper wire or a specially
designed test tap adapter to make the HV lead connection.

CAUTION
Bushing test taps have very limited insulation and should
generally be energized at reduced voltage levels. If the
bushing manufacturer does not specify a test voltage level
use no more than 500 volts (0.5kV).
Tests 20 to 27 are measurements of the individual bushings C2 insulation. All
are performed with test mode GSTg-R All phase and neutral bushings may be
tested providing they have test taps.
NOTE: Similar to the bushing C1 tests, all the C2 measurements may be made
with the bushing shorting leads still in place from the transformer overall
tests.
Surge Arresters
If the transformer is equipped with surge or lightning arresters, these may be
tested as well. If the arrester is a single-stack unit, its HV connection must be
disconnected to eliminate the measurement of losses from other connected
apparatus (such as switch and support insulators). Multi-stack arresters may be
tested without disconnecting if desired. The procedure described below assumes
single-stack arresters are being tested.
Nameplate, serial number and location information for each arrester should be
entered so that future testing can be compared to specific units.
