    Busbar Contact Resistance Test Procedure

    Uploaded by

    Asai Thambi
    This document outlines the site testing and commissioning procedure for conducting a contact resistance test on the 132 kV busbar. The commissioning manager is responsible for the content and commissioning engineer is responsible for implementation. The purpose of the test is to ensure the busbar resistance is minimum and within specifications to avoid power losses and ensure continuity and proper connections. The test will use a micro ohm meter or CPC 100 device. It will involve measuring the voltage drop across contact points while injecting 100A DC and calculating resistance. Readings will be compared to factory test reports. An insulation resistance test will also be conducted by applying 5kV between combinations of phases and ground, and ensuring readings exceed 100M ohm.

    The Site Test Procedures as per the Site Inspection & Test Plan for Busbar Contact
    Resistance Test is as follows:
    Responsibility:
    Commissioning Manager is responsible for the content of this instruction and the
    Commissioning Engineer for its implementation.
    Purpose:
    This test aims to insure the busbar resistance is at minimum and within specification in order
    to avoid high losses in power and also to insure the continuity and proper connection of each
    and every piece of the busbar.
    Test equipment:
    Micro OHM Meter (MOM) or CPC 100
    Reference documentation:
    Refer to Manufacturer's Documentation & Factory Test Results.
    Characteristics, method of inspections
    1. General data and information.
    2. Electrical Test:
    a. Busbar Contact Resistance
    b. Busbar Insulation Resistance

    1. General data and information.

    The busbar shall be inspected and and its ratings shall be checked

    2. Electrical Tests :
    Please arrange the following upon stating:1. Test format to be prepared and shown to the witness for approval
    2. Check list to be printed and read.
    3. Factory Test Reports for bus bar contact resistance

    Reference:

    Decide the starting and ending points of the path to be tested


    Start by injecting 100 A DC
    Measure the voltage drop across the path
    Use these readings to calculate Resistance by using ohms low
    Note down these readings
    Compare the calculated readings with the factory test report readings
    Usually these values come in Micro Ohm.

    Apply 5KV in each of the following combinations


    R-G
    Y-G
    B-G
    R-Y
    R-B
    Y-B
    Readings must exceed 100 M ohm
