c) Power frequency voltage dry test.
Supplier is required to maintain the register for routine tests and will show to the inspector, who comes
for inspection for verification / confirmation purpose.
d) Mechanical operation: 10Nos of open-close operation per unit ON operation can be carried
out with operating rod. OFF operations can be carried out by cutting the fuse wire so that it falls freely
as in actual service condition.
23)
ACCEPTANCE TESTS:
The following tests shall be carried out at suppliers works on the samples selected from the offered lot as
per the sample procedure given at clause No.24 of this specification.
I.
Visual inspection.
II.
Verification of dimensions of all parts as per approved Drawing.
III.
Power frequency voltage dry test as per IS: 73/71 with latest amendment if any.
IV. Mechanical operation test ON-OFF operation (100 Nos. ON-OFF operation) can be carried out with
operating rod. OFF operations can be carried out by cutting the fuse wire so that it falls freely as in
actual service condition.
25)
V. Temperature-rise test.
VI. Galvanizing test
VII. Test on F. R. B. P. Tube.
VIII. Chemical composition test of all current carrying components.
TEST CERTIFICATE FOR POST INSULATOR:
For the offered lot supplier shall have to submit acceptance and routine test certificate received from the
original manufacturer for 11KV post insulator and FRBP tube used in the manufacturing of D.O. fuse.
It is preferred that insulators of same make are used in one lot. However, if insulators of different make are
used in one lot of D. O. fuse then supplier will have to submit Type test certificates (Validity up to 5
Years) received from the respective original manufacturer for the insulators used in D. O. fuse.
