Currently in India, short-circuit testing facility of power transformers is limited to 220kV, 160MVA. This facility is not sufficient to meet the testing requirement of Indian manufacturers and utilities. PGCIL and NTPC insist on short-circuit test report of power transformers even up to 400kV. This testing facility is presently not available in India and Indian manufacturers have to bear lot of expenses and time to get such transformers tested at KEMA in Netherlands or CESI in Italy.
