- AC Excitation Test (750 KVA - 2500 KVA Only)

- DC Insulation Resistance Test (750 KVA - 2500 KVA Only)

- Turns Ratio Test (750 KVA - 2500 KVA Only)

1.3. Oil Sample Testing (90 each) transformers (112.5 KVA – 2500KVA) and perform the following tests on each sample:

- Water in Insulating Fluids ASTM D1533

- Interfacial Tension (IFT) ASTM D971

- Acid Number ASTM D974
