 GIS SITE TEST PROCEDURE

1. CHECKING AND VERIFICATION

1.1. Confirm the assembly with the manufacture’s drawing and instructions.
1.2. Check the sealing of all pipe junction and the tightness of bolts and
connections.
1.3. Confirm the wiring with the diagrams.
1.4. Verify proper function of the electrical ,pneumatic and other inter lock.
1.5. Check for proper function of the control ,measuring ,protective and regulating
equipment including heating and lighting.

2. MAIN CIRCUIT RESISTANCE TEST

2.1. Check the GIS has finally been erected but not yet connected to the cables.
Perform the resistance test.
2.2. The main circuit resistance test shall be performed by 10A or 100 Ampere DC
by micro-ohmmeter from panel to panel on each phase from cable spouts with
all circuit breakers racked in service and on position.

3. MECHANICAL OPERATION TEST

3.1. Verify that the switching devices open and close correctly within specified
limits of the supply voltage and pressure of their operating device.
3.2. Characteristic test for C.B. will be carried out rated condition only. Five cycle
per each operation.

4. DIELECTRIC TEST

4.1. Power frequency voltage test shall be applied between the main circuit and
enclosures solidly grounded.
4.2. Test duration will be 60 sec.
4.3. Test voltage will be

5. CURRENT TRANSFORMER TEST

 5.1. Polarity Test.
 Check the CT polarities on the Terminals as per the Schematic Drawing
in the LV -compartment for correct polarity.

5.2. Current ratio test

 Check the CT ratio by injecting 25%, 50%, 75%, & 100% (if possible) of
the normal current on the CT primary winding and measure the
corresponding secondary winding current.

7. GAS TIGHTNESS TEST

7.1. After assembly of GIS enclosure totally shall be checked by trace check
with SF6 gas detector.
8. MEASUREMENT OF GAS CONDITION

8.1. After GIS is filled with rated SF6 gas pressure and shall be checked
moisture before the dielectric test.
