5.2 Polarity Checks

Each current transformer should be individually tested to verified that the primary
and secondary polarity markings are the same as drawings supplied by client.

At current transformer terminals in Protection/Metering Panel. The

Protection/Metering Terminal identification is as follows:

C10 This is Red Phase over-current or earth fault protection

C30 This is Yellow Phase over-current or earth fault protection
C50 This is Black Phase over-current or earth fault protection
C70 This is Neutral over-current or earth fault protection

A10 or A110 This is Red Phase differential protection

A30 or A130 This is Yellow Phase differential protection
A50 or A150 This is Black Phase differential protection
A70 or A170 This is Neutral differential protection

D10 This is Red Phase metering

D30 This is Yellow Phase metering
D50 This is Black Phase metering
D70 This is Neutral Metering return

NOTE: The above identifications always starts with A, C or D but the numbers
may be slightly different. The numbers always use 10, 30 and 50 but
maybe the number is C110. This is done when there are several
protection schemes on the same feeder.

5.3 Ratio Checks

This check is usually carried out to verify the ratio of the CT to the drawings.
Current is passed through the primary conductors and measured by means of the
test set ammeter or CT used in conjunction with the test set A1. The secondary
current is measured on the ammeter A2 in Figure 2 and A2 + A3 in Figure 3.

in that Phase that the CT’s not in test are shorted out and not open circuit.

5.4 Magnetization Curve

Work Instruction Process for Inspection, Testing & Commissioning
of Electrical Switch Board & Switch Yard

This test is carried out when commissioning to,

1. verify the CT is manufactures specs,

2. check that when the equipment has been assembled they have been wired
correctly, ie over-current and differential are correctly wired.

When checking aboard with metering, over-current and differential the knee point
curve should be very low with saturation flux as low as 20-30V were as the over-
current voltage will be around 120V to 180V. Differential CT’s have a knee point
around 500V upwards.

FIGURE 5 TESTING CURRENT TX MAGNETISING CURVE

Work Instruction Process for Inspection, Testing & Commissioning
of Electrical Switch Board & Switch Yard

METHOD

Several points must be checked on each CT. This is done through a variable
transformer while the primary CT circuit remains open. See Figure 5. The
magnetizing current is measured on the ammeter A and the secondary voltage
using a voltmater. The applied voltage would be slowly raised until the
magnetizing current is seen to rise rapidly (50% increase in current to 10%
increase in voltage), for a small increase in voltage. This indicates the
approximate knee point of the CT. The magnetizing current should be recorded
using Technical Service sheets.

It is often found that the current transformer with a secondary rating of 1 ampere or
less have a knee point voltage higher than the legal main supply. In this case a
step up transformer may be required to obtain the necessary voltage to check the
curve.

5.5 Voltage Transformer Tests

The voltage transformer polarity can be checked with the test described for the
main current transformers, care must be taken to connect the battery supply to the
primary winding, with the polarity ammeter connected to the secondary winding if
the voltage transformer is of the capacitor type, then the polarity of the transformer
at the bottom of the capacitor stack should be checked.

5.6 Ratio Check

This check is carried out on HV voltage transformers to verify the ratio is correct.

Method

As in Figure 6 22kV side of transformer is energized using 415V. Readings should

be taken on LV side phase to phase to neutral. Taking the ratio into consideration
the voltage on the secondary of a 22000V/110V transformer should be phase
2.08V and phase to neutral 1.20V.

FIGURE 6 VOLTAGE RATIO TEST

5.7 Phasing Check

The secondary connections for a three phase voltage transformer or a bank of

three single voltage transformers must be carefully checked for phasing. With the
main circuit alive, the secondary voltages between the phases and neutral must be
measured for correct magnitudes. The phase rotation should then be checked with
a phase rotation meter connected across the three phases, as shown in Figure 7.
Provided an existing proven VT is available on the same primary system and that
the secondary earthing is employed, all that is now necessary to prove correct
phasing is a voltage check between, both “A” phase secondary outputs, there
should be normally little or no voltage if the phasing is correct. B&C phase should
be checked also, this proves the system by means of secondary phasing checks.

5.8 Secondary Injection

These test are generally described in the manufactures service manual for relays,
but brief details are given below for the main types of protection relays.

Equipment

It is common practice to provide test blocks or test sockets in the relay circuits so
that connections can readily be made to test without disturbing wiring. A later
development was the test plug which can be used to plug into draw-out relay case
or into test block nominated near to a non draw-out relay case.
Work Instruction Process for Inspection, Testing & Commissioning
of Electrical Switch Board & Switch Yard

When used with a draw-ou relay the multiple figures of the test plug are inserted
between the contract stripes of the case and the draw-out chassis are normally
spinning together to make firm contact.

Since the top and bottom contact or each test plug finger is separated by an
insulation strip to relay circuits can be completely isolated from the switchgear wire
when the test plug is inserted, ie is most important to remember, that the correct
transformer shorting switches, will not be shorted links are fitted across all live side
CT terminals of the test plugs before it is inserted. When the test plus is inserted
in position all the test circuitry can now be connected to the isolated ‘Relay Side’
test plug terminals.

Withdrawing the test plug immediately restores the connections to the main current
transformers and voltage transformers removed is the test connections and also
the short circuits which had been applied to the main CT secondary circuits.

A recent development has been the testing facilities provided for the modular type
case. The heavy current connectors at the extreme right hand side of the case are
normally connecting the main A.C. and D.C. incoming supplies to the relay and
hold open short circuiting switches provided in the case to prevent CT secondary
circuits from being open circuited.

When these connections are removed, the relay is isolated and the main current
transformer incoming connections are automatically short circuited.

A test plug may then be inserted so that secondary injection test can take place.
As previously described for the draw-out case, care must be taken then inserting
plug as the CT terminals are open circuited. As previously described CT terminals
must have shorting links in before plug is inserted. The relay is now isolated for
testing in the case of an MCGG63 (over-current and earth fault relay) terminals 13
and 14 must be linked, 15 and 16 must be linked this give the relay its supply.
Care must be taken to make sure 13 is positive and 14 is negative at relay
terminals.

5.11 Earth Resistance Test (ET5) To AS3000

5.11.1 Normal Method of Test

Join terminal C1 an dP1 together connecting a lead to the electrode under

test. The length of this lead should be kept to a minimum, as this will affect
the electrode. P2 lead can be connected to electrode which should be
between 15 and 25m from test point. C2 lead can be connected to an
electrode 15 to 25 meters away form P2. This must be kept in a line so P2
can pick up the volt drop between electrode under test (C1) and C2.

5.11.2 Fall of Potential Method

Join terminals C1 and P1 together connecting a lead to the electrode under

test. The length of this lead should be kept to a minimum, as this will affect
the electrode resistance. Lead resistance can be deducted by running two
leads for P1 and C1 to the electrode. P2 connection to spike should be
25m away from electrode under test. C2 should then be placed 25m from
P2 in a straight line. After a test has been carried out at this point P2 should
be moved about 3m either side of centre. If the first resistance is the same
as the first reading, or close to it. The mean value is used as the earth
resistance. If the readings are completely difference then the test using the
62 feet and 100 feet should apply.
Work Instruction Process for Inspection, Testing & Commissioning
of Electrical Switch Board & Switch Yard

5.11.3 The 62% Rule for Single Earth Systems

It is normal, to carry out the measurement of electrode resistance by full of

potential method! The 62% Rule involves positioning of potential spikes P
and C at intervals of 62 feet and 100 feet. Connecting cables to earth tester
to complete the current and voltage under test. To obtain a true reading, the
current spike must be correctly placed in line with electrode under test.
Since both electrode under test and C2 must be sufficiently apart to stop
resistance are of both spikes overlapping.

Graphically it can be demonstrated that:

The true resistance of the electrode to be tested is equal to the measured

resistance when the potential electrode is at a distance from the electrode.
This should be equal to 62% of the distance from the earth electrode to the
current electrode C2.

NOTE: This rule can only apply when all electrodes are in line and the earth
is a single electrode, pipe or plate.

5.11.4 Test Procedure

(a) Check battery condition before leaving workshop.

(b) Connect instrument for test required as explained on previous pages.

(c) Set range switch to X1 and resistor dial to 010 (eg 10 ohms).

(d) Press the test button and watch galvanometer movement.

(e) If the deflection is (+) increase resistor dial to provide more resistance
until pointer comes back to the center. Increase range switch if needed,
(eg X10).

(f) If the deflection is (-) decrease resistor dial to reduce resistance, until
pointer comes back to the center. Reduce range switch if required, (eg
X0-01).
Work Instruction Process for Inspection, Testing & Commissioning
of Electrical Switch Board & Switch Yard

(g) Resistance measured is reading on dials x range factor.

NOTE: Australian Standards required as follows:

(a) earthing HV and LV AS3000 Section 8.12

(b) Lighting protection systems AS1768 Section 3.11

5.11.5 Safety Precautions

All personnel involved in testing, should be warned of the voltage that can
be generated by earth tester.

The maximum voltage can be up to 200 bolts AC.

5.12 Ducter Testing (Switch Gear)

5.12.1 Connect load to Ducter test set, BLACK on the outer side and RED on the
inner. Select scale required, either micro-ohms or milli-ohms. Place probe
on busbar under test keeping the ‘P’ on probe on the inside while testing.
Wait until the reading settles then record on ____ test sheet.

5.12.2 Where applicable, results recorded should be checked against

manufacturers specification (if available). All phases should be within 30-40
micro-ohms. Some judgment by the testing technician may be required
under circumstances. Eg. Busbar, lengths are different Switch gear. This
may alter results over three phases up to 30%.
