Step voltage test
The Step Voltage test is performed to a voltage of what the motor typically sees during
starting and stopping. The test voltages are governed by IEEE and are posted below for
reference.
NOTE
IEEE references NEMA MG 1-2006 Part 12, Page 2 and states that in no case
should the test voltage be less than 1500 volts.
The DC voltage is applied to all three phases of the winding, raised slowly to a
preprogrammed voltage step level, and held for a specified time period. It is then raised to
the next voltage step and held for the specified time period. This is continued until the target
test voltage is reached. Typical steps for a 4160-volt motor are 1000-volt increments,
holding at one minute intervals. For motors less than 4160, the step voltages should be 500
volts. An example step test sequence is provided in the following illustration.
Figure 117.
Step voltage test example.
Data is logged at the end of each step to ensure that the capacitive charge and polarization
current is removed and only the real leakage current remains. This process ensures a true
indication of the ground wall insulation condition.
If the leakage current (IµA) rises more quickly than the voltage, insulation weakness is
indicated and the test should be stopped. If the leakage current (IµA) raises consistently less
than the voltage rise, the motor insulation is in good standing.
The step voltage test is necessary to ensure that the ground wall insulation and cable can
withstand voltage spikes encountered during normal operation.
