AC DIELECTRIC TEST SET

Figure 2 AC Dielectric Test Set Front Panel (including PLC controls)

Main Power Circuit Breaker

The MAIN POWER circuit breaker, installed in all units with a power rating above 2 kVA, provides the input power
connection to the system. The breaker serves as the primary overload protection device for the system; therefore, note its
limitations before the unit is installed. Each circuit breaker is rated for the input voltage and maximum current under nor-
mal operating conditions. Under fault conditions, the current input of the system must be coordinated with a source power
protection device to reduce the fault current. Failure to do so may cause the circuit breaker to fail, resulting in serious
damage to the system.

6
Control Power Circuit Breaker

The CONTROL POWER circuit breaker, installed in all units above 5 kVA, serves both as a switch and a protection
device for the control circuitry. All control circuitry operates from a maximum voltage level of 120 V ac for user safety. An
indicator lights when the CONTROL POWER circuit breaker is turned on.

Emergency Stop

The EMERGENCY STOP push button, is integrated with the PLC controller serves as a protection device by providing a
means of deactivating the HIGH VOLTAGE when the button is depressed. To disengage the EMERGENCY STOP
pushbutton, rotate it in the direction of the embossed arrow.

Backup Overload Circuit

In every system, a BACKUP circuit consisting of a circuit breaker, magnetic dashpot, or overload relay, is installed in
series with the primary of the high voltage transformer to limit current levels in the transformer winding. The power rating
of the system determines whether a circuit breaker, a dashpot, or an overload relay is used. Excessive current causes
these devices to activate and de-energize the high voltage transformer. While the overload relay and the dashpot are
both self-resetting, the dashpot has the added advantage of being adjustable, enabling the user to select the maximum
allowable primary current level for each test situation.

Secondary Connected Overload

The secondary connected current overload circuitry serves as the first overload for the system. Any excessive amount of
current flowing in the test loop activates the circuit and de-energizes the high voltage transformer. If an overload occurs
while testing, the high voltage is de-energized

The PLC controller allows adjustment of the maximum allowable current from 10 percent to 110 percent of the rated
output current.

External Interlock Provision

This system is supplied with terminals at the rear of the control cabinet that enable the user to install safety interlocks in
the test area and coordinate them with the set. When these interlocks are open, it is impossible to activate the high
voltage transformer. The ITLKS indicator lights when the interlock system is secure.

7
Setting up the Equipment
These instructions for installing and setting up the equipment include a pre-operational test that is recommended before
any high voltage connections are made. This test is similar to the final test prior to shipment and assures that no shipping
damage or deterioration has occurred during transit or storage.

1. Select a location for the unit that provides adequate clearance for the maximum output voltage of the system.
Approximately 8 kV peak per inch can be used between smooth surfaces. Avoid rough edges, as corona and
field distortion will result causing difficulty with testing.

2. If applicable, interconnect all appropriate cables as shown on the accompanying interwiring diagram. Ensure
that each piece of the system is securely grounded before installing the input cable to the appropriate power
source, as detailed in the specifications chart on Page Error! Bookmark not defined. and the accompanying
schematic. Do not connect the primary leads to the high voltage transformer.

3. Check all auxiliary interlocks to ensure that the system is secure.

Warning!!
To ensure operator safety, external interlocks must be used at all times.

4. Energize the main power source.

5. Turn on the MAIN POWER circuit breaker. The indicator lights when the breaker is on.

6. Turn on the CONTROL POWER circuit breaker, if applicable.

7. If applicable, turn on the BACKUP circuit breaker. Ensure all of the safety features are secure. The system
is now ready for pre-operational testing.

Running the Pre-Operational Test

Refer to the PLC Control manual.

8
Operating the Equipment
This section provides step-by-step instructions for performing tests. Prior to performing these tests, the procedures
described in the section of this user's guide titled Setting up the Equipment must be performed. Ensure that the main
power circuit breaker is OFF.

Manual Operation

1. Connect the low end of the test sample to ground with a conductor large enough to carry the rated output current
of the system. Connect the high end of the test sample to the output bushing of the transformer. In general,
aluminum or copper pipe is the most suitable material to use for this purpose. Use a minimum size of 1 inch OD
per 100 kV. Keep all surfaces smooth and free of any sharp edges.

2. Turn on the MAIN POWER circuit breaker, CONTROL POWER circuit breaker, and BACKUP circuit breaker, if
applicable.

3. Press the AUTO / MANUAL button and choose MANUAL MODE (LED is out).

4. Activate the high voltage transformer by pressing the HIGH VOLTAGE ON pushbutton.

5. Raise the output voltage according to instructions in the PLC control manual.

6. When the test is complete return the voltage to zero and press the HIGH VOLTAGE OFF pushbutton to de-
energize the high voltage transformer.

Note: If a fault occurs while testing, the secondary connected overload circuitry will activate, causing the high voltage
circuitry to be de-energized. Refer to PLC Control manual to reset controls in order to resume testing.

Automatic Operation

Repeat steps 1-2 for Manual Operation and refer to the PLC Control manual.

Calibration Intervals of High Voltage Measuring Devices

Haefely Test and Hipotronics manufacture precise and reliable high voltage measuring systems for a wide range of
high voltage testing applications. The measuring devises are designed, type and routine tested according the latest
IEC 60060-2. To guarantee the high accuracy of our measuring systems throughout its service life we recommend
applying the calibration procedures and intervals as defined in the latest IEC
60060-2.

In the latest IEC standard new wordings for calibration are introduced:

Performance Test Tests and calibration performed on complete measuring system traceable to national standards
according EN17025. A performance test shall be performed by a calibration laboratory
accredited according latest EN 17025. Haefely’s calibration laboratory provides these calibration
services in-house, but also onsite to our world-wide customer basis.

Performance Check Simple procedure to ensure that the result of the most recent performance test is still valid.
Performance check typically is performed by the end-user of the measuring system. Haefely
and Hipotronics provide equipment to perform performance checks for AC, DC and impulse
voltage measuring systems

The results of the performance test, performance checks together with the routine and type test protocols of the
measuring system shall be filed in the Record of Performance.

According latest IEC standard 60060-2 calibration intervals are defined as follows:

Performance Test Performance Check

- recommended every year, but at least every 5 - based on the stability of the measuring system,
years and shall be performed after a major but not longer than one year.
repair or in case performance check indicates
deviations beyond the given limits of the test Haefely and Hipotronics recommend performing
system the performance check at least every year. (for
AC and DC measuring systems we propose to
perform the check by calibrating the system with
a suitable AC/DC voltage divider, for impulse
voltage measuring devices we propose to use
our step voltage generator USG 40, the divider
ratio meter RM430 and the impulse voltage
reference calibrator RIC422

Performing Maintenance

Warning!!
To ensure operator safety, interconnecting ground and output cables must be inspected regularly for degraded
insulation and frayed conductors.

Cleaning the Equipment Surfaces

Clean the painted surfaces and front panel with a damp cloth and a mild detergent, ensuring that the solution does not
come in contact with the electrical circuitry. Periodically, the interior of the unit should be blown out with water-free, filtered
compressed air. This prevents dust build-up and extends the operating life of the equipment.

Maintaining the Transformer Oil

The HV tank oil level should be maintained so that there is a minimum of 1 inch of space from the oil level to the header
for every 30 inches of height at 25 degrees Centigrade. In the event oil must be added, use EXXON Univolt 60
uninhibited transformer oil or an equivalent. Observe ASTM Standards concerning oil dielectric breakdown limits. Perform
tests at least annually using a Hipotronics Liquid Dielectric Tester Model OC60 or the equivalent. These tests should be
performed by qualified personnel only, as serious damage may result from contamination. Oil dielectric strength
should be at least 22 kV with standard 0.1 inch disk electrodes.
