Temperature rise test is cover under which test?
Routine test
Type test
Special test
None of above
Type test
A temperature rise test is classified as a 'Type test' according to international standards (e.g., IEC 60076 for transformers). Type tests are conducted on one unit of a design to verify that the equipment meets design specifications and performance requirements under specified conditions.

The temperature rise test determines the steady-state thermal limit of electrical equipment. For transformers, it is performed using the 'back-to-back' or 'short-circuit' method, where rated current is circulated while the device is in its normal cooling environment to ensure that temperature gradients remain within prescribed insulation class limits (e.g., Class A, B, F, or H).
Type tests are performed to prove the adequacy of the design for a particular rating.
Routine tests are performed on every individual unit to ensure standard manufacturing quality.
Special tests are performed by agreement between manufacturer and purchaser based on specific site conditions.
Temperature rise is critical for determining the lifespan of insulation materials.
Ensures operational safety under rated thermal load
Verifies design efficiency and cooling system adequacy
Extremely time-consuming to reach thermal equilibrium
High energy consumption required during the test process
Power and Distribution Transformers
High Voltage Circuit Breakers
Switchgear assemblies
The test is considered complete when the oil temperature rise reaches a steady state (rate of change < 1┬░C per hour).
Option A (Routine test) includes tests like Ratio test, Polarity test, and Insulation Resistance test.
B is correct тАФ Temperature rise test is a mandatory Type test performed to verify the thermal design integrity of power equipment.
Remember: Routine tests are for Quality Control (every unit), Type tests are for Design Verification (prototype), and Special tests are for Site/Application specific requirements.
