2 GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR TESTING OF MEANS OF PROTECTION

2.1 Acceptance, periodic and type tests are carried out according to the norms and procedures
set forth in the relevant standards or technical conditions.
2.2 In operation, means of protection are subjected to regular and extraordinary tests (after the
fall, repair, replacement of any parts, or if there are signs of malfunction). The standards of operational
tests and the timing of their implementation are given in the relevant standards or technical
specifications.
2.3 Tests are carried out according to approved procedures (instructions).
2.4 All tests should be carried out by specially trained and certified workers.
2.5 Each test object must be carefully inspected before the test in order to check the
manufacturer's identification, serial number, completeness, absence of mechanical damage, the
condition of the insulating surfaces (for insulating means of protection). If the protective equipment
does not comply with the requirements of this Instruction, tests shall not be conducted until the
identified deficiencies are eliminated.
2.6 Electrical tests should be carried out with an alternating current of the industrial frequency,
usually at a temperature of plus (25 ± 15) ° C.
Electrical tests of insulating rods, voltage indicators, voltage indicators for checking the
coincidence of phases, insulating and electrical clamps should be started by checking the electrical
strength of the insulation.
The rate of voltage rise up to 1/3 of the test voltage can be arbitrary, further increase in voltage
should be smooth and rapid, but allowing the reading of the measures on voltages equal or more than
3/4 of the test voltage. After voltage reaches the required value and is held at this value for a required
time, it should be reduced to zero or to 1/3 of the test voltage smoothly and quickly. After that the
voltage is switched off.

2.7 The test voltage shall be applied to the insulating part of the protective equipment. In the
absence of an appropriate voltage source to carry out tests of the entire insulation bars, isolating parts
of the voltage indicators and phase matching checking voltage, etc. they can be tested in parts. In this
case the isolating part is divided into sections to which part of the normalized total test voltage is
applied. Value of applied voltage is proportional to the length of the section and is increased by 20%.
2.8 The main isolating electroprotective devices intended for electrical installations with
voltages above 1 kV and up to 35 kV inclusive are tested with a voltage equal to 3 times linear but not
less than 40 kV. Devices intended for electrical installations with voltages abve 110 kV and higher –
with voltage equal to 3-times the phase voltage.
Additional isolating electroprotective devices are tested in accordance with the standards
specified in the relevant standards or technical conditions.
2.9 The duration of application of the total test voltage usually is 1 min for insulating protective
equipment up to 1000 V and elastic materials or porcelain insulation , and at least 5 min for layered
dielectrics insulation.
For specific protective equipment and working parts, the duration of application of the test
voltage is given in the relevant standards or specifications.
2.10 Values of the currents flowing through the insulation of rubber and elastic polymeric
electrical protective equipment and insulating devices for work under voltage are given in the relevant
standards or technical conditions.
Values of operating currents flowing through voltage indicators up to 1000 V are given in the
relevant standards or technical specifications.
2.11 Breakdown, overlap and discharges over the surface are determined by shutdown of the
System in the process of testing, according to the indications of measuring instruments and visually.
2.12 Electro protective tools from solid materials should be manually checked to determine local
heating due to dielectric losses.
2.13 In the event of a breakdown, overlap or discharge over the surface, an increase of the current
flowing through the product higher than the regulated value, appearance of local heating protective
equipment should be rejected.

3.3.3 Testing of dielectric gloves and footwear

Standards and frequency of electrical testing of dielectric gloves, overshoes and boots are shown
in corresponding standards or specifications.

3.3.4 Testing of dielectric gloves (general requirements)

Dielectric gloves are tested for 60s with increased voltage of 6 kV in the following way: gloves
are immersed in a basin of water at a temperature of (25 ± 15) ° C. Water is poured into the gloves so
that the water level, both outside and inside the gloves, is 50 mm below their upper edges, which must
remain dry.
The test voltage is applied between the body of the basin and the electrode, which is lowered
into the water inside the glove. It is possible to test several gloves at the same time, but it should be
possible to monitor the current flowing through each glove tested.
The glove is discarded if the current flowing through it exceeds 6 mA or there are sudden
fluctuations in the flowing current.
In the event of a breakdown, it is necessary to disconnect the defective glove circuit or the entire
System.
After the test, dielectric gloves must be dried.

alternately select each operation mode by pressing the corresponding button in the «MODE» area . For
each mode repeat actions listed in 4.2.22 – 4.2.26.
All four current measurement channels are active when «3 kV» and «15 kV» modes are selected.
When «100 kV» mode is selected, only the first channel is active.. Digital indocatos of onactive
channels must display dashes.
Since the Systemе operates without load, and therefore the current does not flow through the
load, when checking the voltage regulation in the «3 kV», «15 kV» and «100 kV» modes, the
indications of active leakage current indicators should be close to zero.
4.2.28 To check the current measurement in «100 kV» mode turn of the System and unlug the
power supply cable.
Connect the high voltage cable to the high voltage output of the BVI-50M-1 on one side ad to
the high voltage output of BVI-50M-2 on another side.
4.2.29 Turn on the CU and return the handle of the voltage regulator to its original position
(results should meet 4.2.6).
4.2.30 Turn on the «TEST» mode by pressing the «START» button (results should meet 4.2.9).
4.2.31 Gently rotate the voltage regulator handle clockwise to increase the System output current
up to 9 mA. Current raise rate shouldn’t exceed 1 mA/s

4.2.32 Since the load resistance is relatively small and the voltage applied to this load is not more
than several hundred volts, the kilovolt meter readings will be approximated to 0 kV.
4.2.33 Gradually increase the output current of the System till the current protection scheme is
activated. In «100 kV» mode this happens at (10 ± 0,5) mA.
4.2.34 If the current protection circuit is triggered, the high voltage supply should go off and the
corresponding breakdown indicator should flash; the values of the leakage currents, as well as the
value of the test voltage must be stored and displayed on the indicators. When switching off of the
high voltage is a result of the operation of the current protection circuit, the short-circuiting rods should
approach the high-voltage outputs of BVI-50M-1 and BVI-50M-2 and the red signal lamp should stop
flashing. This indicates that there is no test voltage on the System.
4.2.35 Turn the CU power off. At the same time, all LED indicators should stop glowing.
4.2.36 Unplug the power supply cable from the power supply socket of the System.
4.2.37 Apply the temporary earthling rods to the high-voltage outputs of BVI-50M-1 and BVI-
50M-2..
4.2.38 Disassemble the test scheme.
4.2.39 To test the current measurement in «3 kV» and «15 kV» modes (when the System is
turned off), connect the high voltage cable to the first clamp of the hand tool holder from one side and
to the high voltage output of te BVI-50M-1 on the other side. Connect one test electrode to the hand
tool holder, and wind rest on the insulating rod so that they do not touch the conductive liquid of the
test basin and the body of the basin itself.
4.2.40 Turn on the CU and return the handle of the voltage regulator to its original position
(results should meet 4.2.6).
4.2.41 By pressing the corresponding button in the «MODE» area select test mode «3 kV» or
«15 kV. The selected mode should be indicated by the corresponding indicator.
4.2.42 Turn on the «TEST» mode by pressing the «START» button (results should meet 4.2.9).

4.2.43 Gently rotate the voltage regulator handle clockwise to increase the System output current
up to 6mA. Since no current flows through the unused test electrodes, the indicators of the unused
channels should display the value of the test current equal to «0,00 mA». Current raise rate shouldn’t
exceed 1 mA/s.
4.2.44 Since the load resistance is relatively small and the voltage applied to this load is not more
than several hundred volts, the kilovolt meter readings will be approximated to 0 kV.
4.2.45 Gradually increase the current on the output of the System till the current protection
scheme is activated. In «3 kV» and «15 kV» modes this happens at (7,6 ± 0,5) mA (results should
meet 4.2.34).
4.2.46 Complete actions stated in 4.2.39 – 4.2.45 for «3 kV» and «15 kV» modes. Actions
should be repeated for each measuring channel (each test electrode).
4.2.47 Turn the CU power off. At the same time, all LED indicators should stop glowing.
4.2.48 Unplug the power supply cable fom the power supply socket of the System.
4.2.49 Apply the temporary grounding rods to high voltage outputs of BVI-50M-1 and BVI-
50M-2.
4.2.50 Disassemble the test scheme.
4.2.51 Remove temporary grounding rods frim the high voltage outputs of BVI-50M-1 and BVI-
50M-2.
4.2.52 To check the operation of voltage regulator current protection scheme connect two
«100 V» outputs (See figure 4 pos. 10) conductor length of about 2 m and a cross section of 1.5 mm2
4.2.53 Turn on the CU and return the handle of the voltage regulator to its original position
(results should meet 4.2.6).
4.2.54 By pressing the corresponding button in the «MODE» area select the «100 V» mode. The
selected mode is indicated by the corresponding indicator.
4.2.55 In the «100 V» mode, the current is not measured, all current measurement channels are
inactive, indicators of leakage current must display dashes.
4.2.56 Turn on the «TEST» mode by pressing the «START» button (results should meet 4.2.9).

4.2.57 Smoothly turn the handle of the voltage regulator clockwise, watch the indication of the
kilovoltmeter, which in the «100 V» mode indicates the voltage to a value of 99.9 V, increase the
voltage at the output of the System until the «OVERLOAD» indicator is lighted..
4.2.58 Since the load resistance is relatively small and the voltage applied to this load is not more
than a few volts, the kilovolt meter readings will correspond to the measured voltage.
4.2.59 «OVERLOAD» mode is turned on when the value of the current on the output of voltage
regulator exceeds 4 A. At the same time «TEST» mode should turn-off (results should meet 4.2.12),
«OVERLOAD» indicator should lighten, breakdown indicators of all four measurement channels
should flicker. To restore the System to its original state, it must be turned off and on again.
4.2.60 Turn on the CU power and return the voltage regulator handle to its original position (the
results of the actions must correspond with 4.2.6).
4.2.61 Turn the CU power off. At the same time, all LED indicators should stop glowing.
4.2.62 Disassemble the test scheme.
4.2.63 If the results of the actions mentioned in (4.2.6 – 4.2.61) meet specified, then the controls
and alarm of the System are working properly.
