test: alternating voltage from an external source applied between
conducting parts and between conducting parts and ground

The overall test procedures are defined as follows:

1- Visual and Dimensional CCheck

2- Resistance Value Test
3- Insulation Resistance Test
4- Power Frequency Withstand Test
5- Insulation Resistance Test
6- Incoming & Outgoing cable connection & integrity of Terminal box connections

1- Visual and Dimensional Check

1-1- Confirm Overall dimension is in accordance with the latest revision of applicable
drawing.
1-2- Confirm integrity of all resistor connections.
1-3- Confirm all components are correctly installed and connected in accordance with the
latest revision of applicable drawing.
1-4- Confirm paint (or other coverage) of Enclosure has not been damage.
1-5- Confirm accuracy & fixing of name plates and labels.

2- Resistance Measurement Test

2-1- Using a digital ohmmeter check and record the value of DC resistance at ambient
temperature and correct its value to specified temperature. According to the IEEE-32-
IEEE
1972, Sec 10.1.4, acceptance tolerance in the lack of customer request is ±10%.
±10%

3- Primary Insulation Resistance Test (Megger Test)

3-1- Using a digital insulation test, apply acceptance DC voltage between the resistor H.V.
connection and individual resistor bank tie rods regarding the ANSI/NETA ATS Table
100.1. Minimum acceptance value is obtained from the Table 100.1.
3-2- Repeat test (3-1) between H.V.
H connection and frame earth with acceptance DC voltage
according to the ANSI/NETA
ANSI ATS Table 100.1. This test checks the integrity of
secondary insulation materials. Minimum acceptance value
value is obtained from the Table
100.1.

4- Rated Short Duration Power Frequency Withstand Tests (1

1 Minute)
Remove the connecting link between the resistor and any base point and/or LV connection.

4-1- Using a suitable external source, apply the specified voltage between
between terminals and
ground for the complete device extracted from IEC 60071-1 Table 2.
IEEE-32-1972, Sec. 10.3.2 apply the
4-2- Using a suitable external source according to the IEEE
specified voltage between terminals of each unit and its own individual frame.

Note: The voltage applied from the terminals of each assembly to its own frame shall be:

In the event of a retest the voltage shall be 80% of the original test voltage.

5- Secondary Insulation Resistance Test (Megger Test)

To ensure that the insulations interval in the section (3) isn’t damaged, again the same test is
applied.

5-1- Using a digital insulation test apply acceptance DC voltage between the resistor H.V.

H connection and frame earth with acceptance DC voltage
according to the ANSI/NETA
ANSI ATS Table 100.1. This test checks the integrity of
secondary insulation materials. Minimum acceptance value is obtained from the Table

6- Incoming & Outgoing cable connection & integrity of Terminal box

connections
6-1- Check dimension, distance and integrity of terminals in relation to final drawings.
