g. Adjust spherical gap oil test set to
flash over at the specified test voltage,
as calculated from charts. Then
energize the test set without connecting
it to the stator-winding phase to be
tested. Raise voltage until gap flashes
over, noting reading of test-set

agreement and that voltmeter scale and
potential-trans-former ratio are correct.

Tests.
- Factory tests on new transformers or
regulators may include (a) 120- to 400-Hz
induced-potential test and (b) reduced full-
wave, chopped-wave, or full-wave impulse
tests. These tests require special equipment
and are not performed in the field, and will not
be covered in this bulletin. The standard 60-
Hz high-potential test, however, are simple to
perform and require only a transformer of
suitable voltage and capacity, with current
limiting equipment and means for controlling
and measuring the output voltage.
