PRE-JOB CHECK

RESPONSE
A CURRENT TRANSFORMER
YES NO
1 There is a functional and connected CT on the line to be metered
2 This the closest CT to the source on the line
3 The CT cannot be by-passed by switchyard switching
4 The CT has a metering core that is free
5 The CT core to be used has an accuracy of at least 0.5
6 The CT core to be used is free (there is no existing connection on it)
7 The CT core to be used can be accessed directly (not through a CT terminations panel)

If No, the CT Box can be locked and kept secure

The proximity of the CT box with respect to the positions of the CT and meter is such that
8
the wiring will not impose excess electrical burden on the CT.
9 The CT terminal box does not require drilling or cutting to provide hole for termination

10 Ratio test, saturation test, polarity test (individual and group) for CT are confirmed O.K.

RESPONSE
B VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER (VT/CVT/PT)
YES NO
1 There is a functional and connected VT on the line to be metered?
The VT is well positioned (such that any loss of potential at the VT point corresponds to a
2
loss of supply (current) on the metered line
3 The VT tap to be used be accessed directly (not through a VT terminations panel)
4 The % deviation of VT ratio (check ratio test) from the expected ratio is less than 10%
5 The VT's fuses intact

RESPONSE
C ENERGY METER
YES NO
1 There is a suitable & secure place (e.g meter box or panel).
If NO, can one be provided?
2 The meter has been programmed to have the same VT ratio as the VT?
3 The meter accuracy class is the same as or better than the CT core accuracy
The meter can utilise VT inputs as power source (compare meter aux volt. spec. against VT
4
voltage)?
If NO, can a secure power supply point be provided?

STATUS
G TERMINATIONS/CONNECTIONS/WIRING
YES NO
1 Pre-meter current TBs have been inspected and tested (continuity) O.K
2 Conn. from CT core to pre-meter TBs confirmed O.K for all phases
3 Conn. from pre-meter TB to meter current input confirmed O.K for all phases
4 Current circuit is not open-circuited anywhere
5 Conn. from VT core to pre-meter TBs confirmed O.K for all phases
6 Conn. from pre-meter TB to meter voltage input confirmed O.K for all phases
The 'live' leg of each VT is not short-circuited to the neutral leg of same phase or
7
another phase.
8 TB shorting links (where present) are rightly positioned.
All cables used are properly ferruled and ferrules correspond with connections (check
9
both ends of each cable)
10 All terminations on CT, VT , pre-meter TB and meter are firm and neat.
All termination areas (in the CT, VT, and around the pre-meter TBs and meter) are
11
clean and dry.
12 All cables are well routed, strapped and arranged for easy tracing.
13 All necessary labelling and tagging has been done

STATUS
H PRE-COMISSIONING
YES NO
Meter comes on when energised, without any sparking, arcing or suspicious sound
1
from the CT, VT and meter or their terminals.
2 Meter Date and Time setting is correct.
3 Voltage phase sequence has been checked and is O.K (using phase rotation meter)
All Phase currents are present and are equal or reasonably close to each other in
4
magnitude
Displayed meter currents agrees with measured current (using clamp-on ammeter)
5
and CT ratio.
All Phase voltages are present and are equal or reasonably close to each other in
6
magnitude
Displayed meter voltages agree with measured voltage (using a digital volt meter) and
7
VT ratio.
All phase powers are displayed and are equal or reasonably close to each other in
8
magnitude (except in 3P3W conn. where only 2 phases will be present)
9 No phase power is negative
10 Displayed total Power is the accurate sum of the displayed power on all phases.
11 Power factor is lagging (for inductive load)
12 Power factor is greater than 0.7 (depending on the nature of loading)
13 Total Power is in the top-right quadrant (P and Q are both +ve)
Total imported MWh, MVar and MVA cummulates consistently with time and loading
14
(after monitoring for at least 15 mins)
15 The meter terminal cover is closed and secured with an anti-tamper seal
16 The meter box/panel, if any, is locked and protected from unauthorised access
17 The meter phasors and accuracy error have been checked and confirmed O.K.
