Voltage indicator
If the panels are equipped with capacitive
insulators, checking the off-circuit condition
can be carried out by means of this device. In this
case, proceed according to the manufacturer’s
instructions or the indicators. (Optionally,
switchgear can be equipped with various types
of indicators coming from various manufacturers.)
In case of any doubt about correct operation of
capacitive insulators, the off-circuit condition
must be checked using a HV tester.
Checking the off-circuit condition must always
be carried out in compliance with the relevant
safety regulations and local operating conditions!
7.2.2 Current and voltage tests
Optional current test rod is available for
carrying out current injection tests. It is
suitable for supplying primary current to any
current transformers which may be fitted
during measurements in the protection circuit.
•
Isolate and secure the working area in
accordance with the IEC safety regulations
•
For primary current supply, fix the connecting
cable of the test transformer to the current
test rod
Voltage insulating test can be carried out by
applying test voltage directly on power cable
connection flag.
•
Isolate and secure the working area in
accordance with the IEC safety regulations
Note:
With voltage tests at power frequency withstand
voltage, carry out the following procedure:
•
Disconnect any voltage transformers and
capacitive dividers and cover them with an
insulating plate
