Routine Test on EHV equipments


EHV Circuit breaker
    
1.       IR test on each pole by Megger (Between poles and lower poles to ground).
2.       IR tests on control circuits.
3.       Functional check  of breaker operation on minimum and maximum specified control voltages
4.       Checking of interlocks with isolators & earthing switches.
5.       Checking of remote operation  and tripping from protection relays and from other devices as per approved scheme.
6.       Measurement of contact resistance
7.       Testing for leakage of compressor and hydraulic oil system.
8.       Checking tightness of termination connectors.
9.       Checking tightness of earthing connections.
10.     Checking of insulators for cracks etc.
11.     Checking the settings of pressure switches.
12      Check level of pressure of air, oil and gas as  per the manufacturer's manual.
13.     Check direction of compressor motor and oil pump.
14.     Check operation of breaker at minimum specified pressure.
15.     Check for air leakage in air reservoir.
16.     Check for closing and opening time and simultaneous closing of all poles through oscillograph.
17.     Tripping of circuit breaker at reduced or over voltage i.e. at 85 - 105% .
18.         Checking of hydraulic system and oil leakage in oil pump.

Lightning Arrestor

1.   Continuity check (for metal oxide type only)
2.   Check for connection to ground.
3.   Check insulators for cracks.
4.   Check reading of leakage current.
5.   HT and IR test of each element.

Current Transformer

1.       IR test on each winding, winding to earth and between windings.
2.       Checking of winding ratios by primary injection set.
3.       Polarity check on each winding.
4.       Continuity check for all windings.
5.       Check for connections to correct taps.
  
6.       Measurement of knee point voltage and secondary winding resitance for   the  CTs     used for differential protection.
7.       Checking of oil level.
8.       Checking of continuity and IR values for cables from CT to Marsh Box.
9.       Checking tightness of earthing connections.
10.     Checking of insulator for cracks.
11.     Check output after loading of the main circuit.

Potential/ Capacitive Voltage Transformer

1.       IR test of primary winding by HV megger between windings and earth
2.       IR test of secondary winding by LV megger between windings and winding to earth
3.       Checking of voltage ratio      
4.       Verification of terminal markings and polarity
5.       Checking of oil level
6.       Checking of continuity and IR values for cables from PT to Marsh Box
7.       Checking tightness of earthing connections
8.       Checking of insulator for cracks
9.       Check output on charging of the system with connected meters/relays
