Power Frequency Test of Busbar (Optional)

WARNING
hazard of incorrect operation
Comply with the safety provisions.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

A test unit and a test adapter (not included in scope of supply) are required for the power frequency test.

Preparation

DANGER
hazard of incorrect operation
  • Ensure that no high-voltage cables are connected.
  • Observe the assembly and operating instructions for the test unit and the test adapter.
  • All panels must be isolated from the power supply and earthed. Switch position during the power frequency test (example: five panels).
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
  1. Busbar:
    Disconnect voltage transformer (EvoPact MTX) and surge arrester. Earth voltage detecting systems.

  2. Incoming feeder panel for voltage test:
    Remove cable compartment cover and disconnect voltage transformer and surge arrester. Earth voltage detecting systems.

NOTE:
  • Observe the assembly and operating instructions for the test unit and the test adapter.

  • Observe admissible test values for the switchgear and the admissible test values for power-frequency tests after installation of the switchgear in accordance with IEC 62271-200: 2011.

Performing the power frequency tests

  1. Connect test unit to the test cable.

  2. Switch the earthing switch OFF.

  3. Move circuit breaker truck EvoPact HVX into service position and switch circuit breaker ON.

  4. The adjacent phases are required to be earthed prior to conducting the power frequency test in sequence for all three phases (L1, L2, and L3) according to the specifications provided by the test unit manufacturer.

After the power frequency test

  1. Switch circuit breaker OFF and put circuit-breaker truck into disconnected position;

  2. Switch earthing switch ON.

  3. Remove test unit and test cables.

  4. Reconnect disconnected voltage transformers and surge arresters.
