Power Transformers
To check the winding insulation completely, it is necessary to measure the
capacitance and the DF of all insulation gaps (in this case six capacitors).
In IEEE Std. 62-1995 [3.4] the test procedure is described for transformers with
two and three windings. Figure 6-4 shows the six measurements.

Caution: All phases and the neutral terminal of one winding (H, L and T) have
to be short-circuited. Due to the inductance of the windings resonant effects
may occur and influence the measurement.
