GENERAL OPERATING INFORMATION
WARNING
ANY MECHANICAL OR ELECTRICAL MODIFICATION TO ANY NETWORK PROTECTOR
REQUIRES THAT THE NETWORK PROTECTOR BE GIVEN APPROPRIATE ELECTRICAL
TESTS, USING PROPERLY MAINTAINED TESTING DEVICES, BEFORE PLACING INTO
SERVICE. FAILURE TO PERFORM SUCH ELECTRICAL TESTS CREATES CONDITIONS
LEADING TO THE POSSIBILITY OF DEATH, SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR
PROPERTY DAMAGE.
1. The Type HWT-500 test set is equipped with selector switches and controls to vary both the
overvoltage phasing value as well as the reverse current magnitude at various preselected
angles. Refer to pages 8-10 regarding the control panel layout and description of the controls.
2. The HWT-500 is equipped with a single lamp PHASE SEQUENCE indicator that becomes
energized when the supply cables are attached to an energized voltage source, and the supply
switch is at the 216 or 480V. This permits immediate verification of the correct sequence. An
illuminated lamp indicates that the system sequence is incorrect. Periodically check the lamp by
purposely connecting the input supply leads incorrectly.
3. An electrical interlock is built into the HWT-500 that prevents the possibility of 480 volts entering
the test set when the SUPPLY switch is in the 216 position. Moving the red SUPPLY switch to
the 216 position when 480 volt potential is present at the supply leads of the test set will result in
the electrical shutdown of the test set.
4. The position of the SUPPLY switch (480 or 216) refers to the system voltage of the network
protector being tested. The 216 position is to be used with network voltages up to 216 volts that
are either wye or delta connected. The 480 position is to be used with network voltages of 480
volts that are either wye or delta connected. A protector used on 480-volt systems may or may
not utilize 480-volt class relays. Regardless of the fact, all 480-volt network protectors are to be
tested with the red SUPPLY switch in the 480 position.
CAUTION
ON DELTA SYSTEMS THE TEST SET LEADS MARKED NEUTRAL MUST BE CONNECTED TO
AN EARTH GROUND FOR CORRECT OPERATION OF TEST SET CIRCUITS. ON WYE
CONNECTED SYSTEMS BOTH THE NETWORK PROTECTOR ENCLOSURE AND THE
NETWORK PROTECTOR BREAKER MUST BE GROUNDED.
5. Before any testing shall commence, the network protector breaker must be in the disconnected
and rolled out position, with the main breaker contacts in the OPEN position. Proceed to
connect the test control cables to the test set and to the network protector.
Insure that the SUPPLY switch is placed in the “OFF” position. Connect the SUPPLY LEADS to the
source voltage. Check that the PHASE SEQUENCE indicator light is “OFF” indicating that the
sequence input is correct. Using the SUPPLY VM switch, a check of the input supply voltages
should be made to insure that the input supply is balanced, both phase-to-phase and phase-to-
ground.
6. The HWT-500 controls the phasing volts and reverse current through the use of the three phase
VARIAC.
