7.8.0TESTING OF 415V LVAC:

INSULATION RESISTANCE VALUE TEST: Circuit Breaker and Bus Bar
(VT, Earth Switch etc..,)
• Switch on the Testing Equipment (Megger). Set the test voltage & time.
I. CONTACT RESISTANCE TEST: Circuit Breaker and Bus Bar
• Measuring of DC resistance by V/ I principle.

• Connect the Current leads and voltage leads between the two ends of the
bus bar that to be tested (END TO END).and all the CB should be in Service
and closed position.
• Voltage measurement leads should be connected inside the current leads.
• Switch on the Aux power to Test kit.
• Contact resistance of main contacts shall be measured by injecting the
100A of DC Current through the connecting point in each phase (R, Y, and
B) one by one.
• The result displayed on the kit and it should be recorded.
• Repeat the test in other phases.
II. PRIMARY INJECTION TEST

• Confirm the tightness of CT secondary leads tightness.
• The CT secondary circuit should be connected to the relays, meters or it
Should be shorted properly.
• Arrange the test kit in proper Location and connect the Auxiliary supply to
the socket with suitable current carrying capacity.
• Connect the current Injection leads in the Phases at suitable point according
to the Site condition.
• Switch on the Primary Injection kit and gradually increase the current up to
required range.
• Confirm the secondary current flow in all the CT cores and no sound in the
CT.
