The major advantage of this Test Set-up is Minimum Active Power requirement, say for a 100KV/15A , 50KV/30A Test Set shown in the Picture the Reactive Power is 1500KVA max. in both ranges. But input AC Power requirement is less than 70KWW Because of Resonance phenomenon the Sine Wave output is Harmonics free.
Major Burning of Test objects can be avoided as the voltage falls sharply whenever there is a break down due to de-tuning of the Resonance circuit.
This Test Setup is mostly PLC based system with adequate Automation and data acquisition system. NTPL is also in the process of developing variable frequency type Series Resonance Set-up.
