1- Visual and Dimension

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

2- Resistance Measureme
ment Test
2-1- Using a digital ohmm meter check and record the value of DC resistance ance at ambient
temperature and correc
rrect its value to specified temperature. According to the IEEE-32-
1972, Sec 10.1.4, accept
eptance tolerance in the lack of customer request is ±10%.

idual resistor bank tie rods regarding the ANSI/NETTA ATS Table
100.1. Minimum acceptaptance value is obtained from the Table 100.1.
3-2- Repeat test (3-1) betwee
een H.V. connection and frame earth with acceptance
ance DC voltage
according to the ANS SI/NETA ATS Table 100.1. This test checks the th integrity of
secondary insulation materials.
m Minimum acceptance value is obtained from the Table
100.1.

4- Rated Short Duration

on Power Frequency Withstand Tests (1
1 Minute)
Remove the connecting link bettween the resistor and any base point and/or LV connect
nnection.

4-1- Using a suitable externa

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