Connection and Testing
2.2.1
Connection Sequence
WARNING
- Ensure that all necessary safety procedures are followed at all times!
a.
Connect earth lead between test object earth and PT30-10 earth terminal.
b.
Connect discharge/earthing probe to the PT30-10 earth terminal. The earth hook on the probe
must now be placed on the test object HV connection point.
c.
Connect the phases not being tested to earth. This means 1 phase for bipolar test and 2 phases
for a unipolar test.
d.
For a unipolar test connect the black/negative HV lead to the negative output socket on the PT30-
10 and the test object. The positive output must be blanked off using the plastic blanking plug
provided (not the metal dust cap). It is also possible to carry out a positive unipolar test, as
shown in figure 3, although it is more common to use a negative test as this is more onerous.
e.
For a bipolar test connect both the red/positive and black/negative HV leads to the output sockets
on the PT30-10 and the test object as shown in figure 4.
f.
Connect the PT30-10 to mains supply.
h.
Check that all connections are secure and that all safety procedures have been followed.
Re-check that all personnel are out of the test area.
