1.

Purpose

The purpose of an electrical asessment (preventive maintenance (EPM) and testing program)
should be to recognize deterioration and provide means for correcting them. With an EPM
and testing program, potential hazards that can cause failure of equipment or interruption of
electrical service can be discovered and corrected. Also, the EPM and testing program
program will minimize the hazards to life and equipment that can result from failure of
equipments.

5. Work Sequence
5.01. Insulation Resistance Test
Carefully check for cracked insulators or bushings and Current Transformer (if any) first.
Check all internal connections for tightness, and then Vacuum any dirt or debris from the
inside of the enclosure.
Short the CT secondary wiring at CT terminal. This test is conducted with voltages from 500
to 2500 V and provides information on the condition of NGR insulation. A clean, dry insulation
system has very low leakage as compared to a wet and contaminated insulation system.
This test does not check the high-voltage strength of the insulation system, but does provide
information whether the insulation system has high leakage resistance or not. This test is
commonly made before the high-voltage test to identify insulation contamination or faults.
After measurement is possible also.

Measurement between Resistor and Enclosure.

The Result is satisfy at least 1000 ohm/volt.

5.02 Resistance Measurement.

Commissioning Procedure No. : GUT/Comm./004/Rev. R0

Check the resistive element for continuity. An ohmmeter reading made between the neutral
and the ground side of the resistor should be within 10% of the nameplate value. If the

resistance of the element is more than 15% off from the nameplate value, the resistors
should be replaced. Any open resistors should be replaced.
COMPLETE NAMEPLATE DATA WILL BE NECESSARY TO OBTAIN REPLACEMENT
PARTS.

5.03. High-Potential Test

An applied potential test (HI-POT) is required to test the insulation of the complete assembly
at Site. The AC hi-pot test is applied to evaluate the condition of NGR. The AC HV test value
should not exceed 75% for ANSI, or 80% for IEC of the factory test. Test duration will be 1
minute.

5.04 Partial Discharge Test

PD is an electrical discharge that only partially bridges the insulation between conductors.
Especially for equipment rated greater than 4 kV, PD can be a sign of deterioration involving
external surfaces (slot or end turn) or of delamination internal to the ground wall. PD current
pulses can be measured in two ways: (1) off-line PD measurements and (2) online PD
measurements.
The off-line PD test requires a power supply to energize the winding to at least rated phaseto-neutral voltage. It is best to perform this test one phase at a time with the another
grounded.
5.05 Impulse Test
This is a type test catagorize .The induced potential test is a proof test and performed at
higher voltage levels than normal operating voltages.
This test is required if there will be re-design engineering or some modification for standardstructure at Site.
