Testing of a transformer in an oil filled housing is done by providing an external arrester insulator/isolator penetrating and making an electrical connection through the housing while preventing leaking of oil from said housing. An arrester inside said housing is electrically coupled between an interior end of arrester isolator and a predetermined potential point within the housing. An exterior end of said arrester isolator is removably and electrically coupled to a ground potential point. The ground coupling is removed from the exterior end of the arrester isolator and the transformer is tested by measuring electrical characteristics on transformer connections emerging from the housing. …

Why it's free to use
- Filed December 1, 1989 and granted February 13, 2001. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended December 1, 2009.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by December 1, 2011.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
