IMINARIES. LL ‘SPECTION Carefully examine the relay and case to see that no damage has occurred during transit. Check that the relay serial number on the casey cradle and cover are identical and that the model number and rating information ts correct. 2 WIR Check that the external wiring ts correct to the relevant relay diagram and schene diagram. The relay diagram number appears inside the case. 13 INSULATION Isolate all wiring from carth and test the insulation of the external wiring with an electronic megger or brushless insulation tester at a D.C. voltage not exceeding 1000V. Terminals of the same circuft should first be temporarily strapped together. Replace any deliberate earth connect tons removed for this test. 14 EARTHING Ensure that the case earthing connection 1s used to connect the relay to the Jocal earth bar. 2. COMMISSIONING TESTS 21 TEST EQUIPMENT REQUIRED Overcurrent Test Set (secondary injection) Overcurrent Test Set (primary injection) = multineters = small battery single pole switch ~ digital multimeter = MPB test plug Nee 2.2 PRIMARY INJECTION 2.2.1 C.T. Ratio Test (Fig. 1) Inject current into the primary of the A phase C.T. and measure the current in the secondary winding. Repeat the test for 8 & C phases. Record results. 2.2.2 C.T, Magnetisation Test (Fig. 2) The magnetisation curve of all C.T.'s should be checked at the minimum number of points necessary to identify the C.T. and to determine its suitability for the intended use, A.08.86 QENG2.2.3. C.T. Polarity Test (Flick Test Fig. 3) This test is carried out to confirm that the primary and secondary polarity markings are correct. Procedure - On closing the switch the primary winding 1s energised and the millianmeter should give a positive flick and when the primary winding is de-energised by opening the switch, the milliammeter should give a negative flick. 2.2.4 Phasing Out Tests (Figs. 4a and 4b) Inject current into the primary of the A phase CT, refer to Fig. 4a. For correct phasing the current reading of the A phase and neutral ammeters will be the same with negligible current in the 8 & C phase anmeters. Repeat test for B & C phases. Inject primary current across A & B phases with a primary short across these phases on the other side of the CT, refer to Fig. 4b for correct phasing the current reading of the A & B phase ammeters will be the same, with negligible current in the C phase and neutral ammeters. Repeat the above test by injecting across B & C and C & A phase in turn. Phasing out using LOAD CURRENT WARNING - USE OF MPB TEST PLUG BEFORE INSERTING THE MPB TEST PLUG THE CONNECTIONS FOR THE AMMETERS MUST BE MADE AS SHOWN, OTHERWISE THE CT WILL BECOME OPEN CIRCUITED AND THE HIGH VOLTAGE PRODUCED MAY BE LETHAL AND COULD DAMAGE INSULATION. MPB TEST PLUG Black Red AOR. (ENGA nore convenient method of phasing out is by using the primary load current. For correct phasing, the A, B & C phase currents will be the same, with negligible current flowing in the neutral ammeter. If one CT was reversed then approximately twice phase current will appear in the neutral ammeter. 2.3 SECONDARY INJECTION 2.3.1 Pilot Loop Resistance Short out the pilot at the remote end of the line at the relay terminals and measure the pilot loop resistance at the local end of the line at the relay terminals using a digital voltmeter. Resistance of 7.029 pilots - 0,5 ohms/100 yds Maximum loop resistance - 1000 ohms Maximum intercore capacitor - 3 microfarods 2.3.2 Relay Tests (Circuit breakers open at both ends of the feeder) @ Check settings (relay torsion head setting at 40%) Inject current via a MPB test plug into the following and check for relay operation.

(See figure 6) NOTE: Before starting this test ensure that the circuit breakers are open at both ends of the feeder. WARRING! USE OF MPB TEST PLUG MAKE THE FOLLOWING EXTERNAL CONNECTIONS TO THE MPB TEST PLUG BEFORE INSERTION INTO THE RELAY, LOWER DRAWOUT CASE TERMIN LS Black Red MPB TEST PLUG WITH EXTERNAL CONNECTIONS FOR A-N THROUGH LOAD CHECK With the cfrcuft breakers open at both ends of the feeder, insert the MPB test plugs (with external connections as shown above) into the relays at both ends of the feeder. Close the circuit breakers at both ends, this allows A phase current only to circulate through the relays. With A phase current circulating check the following:~ (a Record the primary load current 0) With the pflots NORMAL the relay restrains co) Record for future reference the pilot voltage and current @ With the pflots crossed the pilot current should be seen to increase and the relay should operate If the load current during the test 1s very small and the relay still fafls to operate with the pilots crossed the table below 1s given for guidance and shows typical pilot currents and voltages to be expected for varfous load currents for "NORMAL" and "CROSSED" pilots.
