CURRENT TRANSFORMER & VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER TESTING.

1.0 PURPOSE

The purpose of this procedure is to describe the method of testing of

Current Transformer (CT) and Voltage Transformer (VT).

2.0 SCOPE

This procedure shall be applicable for all Current Transformers and Voltage
Transformers used in electrical equipment for metering and protection.

3.0 REFERENCE

3.1 QAP~050 Document & Data Control.

3.2 QAP~100 Inspection & Testing.

3.3 QAP~040 Design Control.

4.0 DEFINITIONS

4.1 Company XYZ

4.2 Quality Engineer Nominated Quality Engineer at Site.

4.3 Discipline Engineer Company designated Electrical Engineer as

decided by the Management and assigned with
the responsibility of managing electrical part of
the Project.

4.4 CT Current Transformer (Instrument).

TITLE: CURRENT TRANSFORMER & VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER TESTING.

5.1.1 The responsibility for carrying out this Method Statement shall be that of the
Discipline Engineer/ Foremen, unless otherwise specifically mentioned in this
procedure. The Quality Engineer/ Discipline Engineer/ Foremen shall be
responsible for inspection & testing.

5.1.2 In case of conflicting requirements for the testing with the manufacturer’s
instructions or Customer’s specifications, then such requirements shall
prevail in addition to the non-conflicting requirements of this procedure.

5.2 Initial Checks

5.2.1 The type and rating of the CT / VT provided in the switchgear shall be
checked to ensure conformance with the specifications/drawings.

5.2.2 The CT / VT shall be physically checked to ensure freedom from damages.

5.2.3 The wiring circuit shall be checked to ensure proper termination, core
marking and fixing of wiring harness.

5.3 Current Transformer(s)

5.3.1 The CT secondary star point, if available, shall be checked for its integrity
and earthing of CT secondary shall be checked for compliance with respect
to the wiring diagrams.

5.3.2 The insulation resistance for the secondary of the Current Transformer with
the earth shall be checked and the values shall be recorded. If CT
secondaries are earthed, they shall be temporarily removed while measuring
the resistance.

5.3.3 The ratio check and the magnetisation current testing shall be carried out
and the values shall be recorded. The magnetisation test need not be
carried out for metering cores.

5.4 Primary Injection Test

5.4.1 Prior to the primary injection test, it shall be ensured that the Secondary side
circuit is fully connected to form a closed loop.

5.4.2 When protection relays form part of the circuit when the CT is tested, primary
injection test shall also be carried out along with the ratio test.

5.4.3 The operation of the relays / metres shall be checked and the data shall be
recorded under the Relays operated column of Form No. M & E QC~Form-
005-01/ REV. 0.

5.5 Voltage Transformer(s)

TITLE: CURRENT TRANSFORMER & VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER TESTING.

5.5.1 The star point connection and earthing of the unit for both primary and
secondary shall be checked for compliance with the wiring diagrams.

5.5.2 The rating of the fuse(s) shall be verified for compliance with the
specifications/drawings.

5.5.3 Star point connection shall be temporarily disconnected and the Insulation
Resistance shall be checked and the values shall be recorded for following:

 Primary to Secondary
 Primary to Earth
 Secondary to Earth

5.5.4 The ratio test by applying reduced voltage on the primary side shall be
conducted and the secondary voltage shall be measured and recorded.

5.5.5 If directional relays are provided, then polarity check shall be conducted for
the respective voltage transformers.

5.6 Acceptance

5.6.1 The data as indicated in Current Transformer Test Sheets and Voltage
Transformer Test Sheets, Forms Nos. M & E QC~Form- 005-01/ REV. 0 and
M & E QC~Form- 005-02/ REV. 0 respectively as applicable, shall be filled
in.

5.6.2 Type test / routine test certificate values for the CT / VT provided by the
manufacturer, if available, shall be compared with the field test values of the
CT / VT for conformance.

5.6.2 If contractually required, the signature of Customer’s Representative shall be

obtained for acceptance of test.
