1.1 METHOD STATEMENTS

1. Metal Clad Switchgear

 Check for Completeness of installation as per check list

 Prior testing Erection Check Format /Erection Control Form) must be checked
and filled
 Check Insulation Resistance values for all aux circuits
 Check Operation of Breakers
 Check Function of control and selector switches
 Check Function of meters and relays
 Check over all function of current and voltage transformers
 Check Function of aux. CT / aux. PT if any
 Check Function of control circuits and fuses
 Check Function of heater and heater switch
 Check Function of cubicle illumination lamp

NOTE: Relevant drawings, this SAT procedure, FAT report and test forms must be
available on site during testing.

2. HVAC Test

(i) IR Value Measurement

Measure insulation resistance at 5000 V DC

 Between phases
 Between phase to earth

(ii) HVAC Test :

This test is to be carried out on each of the phases with respect to earth. AC
voltage equal to 2.5 times of line voltage (27.5kV) for 1 minute is applied to the
conductor with respect to ground. The leakage current is recorded and noted
down.

3. Circuit Breaker

(i) IR Value
 Across the Pole when breaker is open
 Between the pole when breaker is closed
 Pole to earth when breaker is closed

(ii) Contact Resistance Test

As per IEC publication 694 the measurement of contact resistance shall be
made by voltage drop method by passing a direct current of not less than
100 Amps through the circuit breaker (in closed position) and measuring the
voltage drop across the breaker terminals
(Incoming – outgoing), it is achieved by using micro ohmmeter.

(iii) Timing Test

The measurement may be made at normal control voltage and the values
obtained shall be not more than the ones given below
(a) Closing times around 100 milli seconds.
(b) Tripping time around 40 milli seconds.

(iv) Operational and functional check

(a) Operational Check
 Local and Remote Closing and tripping
 Protection Tripping
 Anti Pumping if any

(b) Functional Check

 Emergency Trip
 ON - OFF Indication
 Spring Charge Limit Switch
 C.B Auxiliary Contacts

 Auto Trip Indication

 Trip Circuit Healthy

4. Current Transformer

(I) IR Value Measurement

 Measure insulation resistance Primary to earth and between primary to
secondary by using 5000V megger.
 Measure insulation resistance between secondary cores and secondary
core to earth by using 500V megger.

(ii) Continuity Test

Measure the continuity of the winding by using multimeter.

(iii) Winding resistance measurement

Measure the winding resistance of the CT by using low range micro ohm
meter.

(iv) Polarity Test

This test is to be carried out by applying small DC voltage on one side of the CT
and the direction of momentary deflection of a milli ammeter on the opposite side of
the CT is noted and compared with polarity marks.

(v) Ratio Test

This test is to be carried out by applying current in primary and record the
Current value in secondary. To get the ratio of the CT by dividing the Primary
current by that of the secondary current and comparing with it rated value.

(vi) Magnetising Curve Test (Excitation Test)

Excitation tests are made to assure the CT is capable of developing its published
secondary terminal voltage without excessive excitation current. An excitation curve
is plotted by applying various values of an AC voltage below saturation level to the
secondary with the primary open circuited. While measuring secondary current and
voltage substantial deviations from published curves should be investigated (or from
the curves obtained during commissioning) and may indicate a turn to turn short

circuit or a completed magnetic path around the CT core.

(vii) Burden Measurement

This test is to be carried out by applying the rated current to the secondary circuit of
the CT and measure the voltage across secondary. The burden is usually
expressed in volt – ampere absorbed at a specified power factor and at rated
secondary current.

5. Voltage Transformer

(i) IR Value Measurement

 Measure insulation resistance Primary to earth and between primary to
secondary by using 5000V megger.
 Measure insulation resistance between secondary cores and secondary
core to earth by using 500V megger.

(ii) Winding resistance measurement

Measure the winding resistance of the VT by using low range micro ohm
meter.

(iii) Polarity Test

This test is to be carried out by applying small DC voltage on one side of
the VT and the direction of momentary deflection of a milli ammeter on
the opposite side of the VT is noted and compared with polarity marks.

(iv) Ratio Test

This test is to be carried out by applying voltage in primary and measure the
voltage value in secondary. To get the ratio of the VT by dividing the Primary
voltage by that of the secondary voltage and comparing with it rated value.

(v) Burden Measurement

This test is to be carried out by applying the rated voltage to the secondary circuit of
the VT and measure the current drawn by the secondary circuit. The burden is
usually expressed in volt – ampere absorbed at a specified power factor and at
rated secondary voltage.
