BA SR 2.1 For Slide HV - LV Panel Testing - Bus-Bar

The document outlines testing procedures for electrical equipment panels, including low resistance testing of busbars to minimize voltage drop, insulation resistance testing between phases and earth, and high voltage testing. It lists the tests to be conducted, such as connectivity testing using a micro-ohm meter, insulation testing with a megger, and high voltage testing with a DC voltage source. Standard testing equipment is also listed, including multimeters, megger, micro-ohm meters, high voltage testing kits, and clamp-on meters.

2.1

CONDUCTIVITY TEST / LOW RESISTANCE TEST


This test is useful to minimize the voltage drop in the bus bars. The resistance will depend on number of joints each Ph. This test can be carried out, all joints of same phase & for other phase also. Connect one lead Micro-Ohm Meter on one end of R phase bus and second lead on R phase of the other end of the bus bar (through a connecting lead wire) and note down the reading and record it. Repeat the above procedure for Y-phase, B-Phase and neutral bus bar (for LT) and record the readings.

2.2 INSULATION RESISTANCE TEST :


The test should be carried out up to outgoing terminals of each feeder, meaning all out going and bus coupler breakers must be closed, incomers and PT trolleys inserted but PT fuses removed. Take the test from any incomer breaker out going terminals. Then measure insulation resistance by Megger (2.5 kV) between Phase to Phase. Note down the value. Repeat the procedure 2.2.1 for Phase to Earth and note down the readings in record sheet. The value must be in Giga ohms.

2.3 HIGH VOLTAGE TEST :


This test is generally carried out on 33,11,6.6 kV panels

2.3.1 During Hi-Potential test, fuse of PT should be removed. 2.3.2 Normally this test carried out for all Breaker and busbar of switchgear in same time. 2.3.3 Put all the breaker in service position and make sure all breaker in ON condition ,except incomers bus bar and insulators are thoroughly cleaned and all nut bolts are adequate tightened. 2.3.4 Apply DC Voltage across phase to phase and note down the leakage current in record sheet. 2.3.5 Repeat the procedure 1.3.3 for phase to earth and all breaker should be made OFF and racked out.
