3. TEST DESCRIPTION

The tests are carried out with the switchgear mounted with all of its equipment as
used in normal service, with all the phases and the rated current flowing through
the main circuit.

The bottom side of the switchgears is covered with a thermal insulator in order to
simulate equivalents operation conditions (see photographs in the annex).

The tests are carried out with three-phase circuits, with a power supply current
which has approximately a sine wave form and a frequency of 60 Hz.

Three consecutive tests have been carried out:

Test No. 1

Test scheme:

Short-circuit

The test currents are the following:

− Line switchgear: Ir = 630 A each phase

− Protection switchgear: If = 38.5 A each phase (out of phase 120º)
Fuses of 63 A are placed

The power supply is performed:

− Line switchgear: By means of 1 strip of 50X6 mm2 for each phase.

− Protection switchgear: By means of 1 strip of 30X10 mm2 for eac
phase.

Test No. 2

Test scheme:

Short-circuit

The test currents are the following:

− Line switchgear: Ir = 630 A each phase

− Protection switchgear: If = 46 A each phase (out of phase 120º)
Fuses of 80 A are placed

The power supply is performed:

− Line switchgear: By means of 1 strip of 50X6 mm2 for each phase.

− Protection switchgear: By means of 1 strip of 30X10 mm2 for eac
phase.

Test No. 3

Test scheme:

Short-circuit

The test currents are the following:

− Line switchgear: Ir = 630 A each phase

− Protection switchgear: If = 200 A each phase (out of phase 120º)
Links are placed

The power supply is performed:

− Line switchgear: By means of 1 strip of 50X6 mm2 for each phase.

− Protection switchgear: By means of 1 strip of 30X10 mm2 for eac
phase.

The three tests are performed indoors with an ambient substantially free from air
currents, excepting those generated by the heat of the object under test.

Provisional connections to the main circuit are performed in such a way that no
significant amount of heat is supplied or extracted from the object under test. The
temperature rise of the terminals of the main circuit and of the provisional
connections at a distance of 1m from the terminals must be measured and the
difference must be no more than 5 K.

The temperature of each element for which there are specified limits has to be
measured with thermocouples. See the thermocouples arrangement in the drawing
of the annex.

The ambient air temperature is the average temperature of the air outside the
switchgear enclosure. It is measured by means of three thermocouples equally
distributed around the object, at a height approximately equal to the average
height of its current-carrying parts and at a distance of about 1m from the object.
The thermocouples are protected against air currents and abnormal effects of
heat.

In order to avoid reading errors due to sudden changes of temperature,

thermocouples have been put into small bottles containing about 0.5 l of oil.

In the last quarter of the whole period of test, the variation of the air ambient
temperature has not exceeded 1K in 1 h.

The temperature-rise of each component refers to the air ambient temperature

outside the enclosure and must not exceed the specified limits.

The temperature-rise of accessible metallic parts will not exceed of 30 K. For

accessible metallic parts, not foreseen to be touched during its normal
performance, the temperature-rise limit may be 40 K.
