SECTION 4: INITIAL SET-UP—MECHANICAL / ELECTRICAL 1. Set up Bucket Truck or object under test. If testing a Bucket Truck, it is recommended to place outriggers and tires on insulating pads. CAUTIONj: When setting up the Bucket Truck, ensure that there are no overhead safety hazards such as live power lines. - Page 12 INITIAL SET-UP--ELECTRICAL WARNING: Ground the output of the High Voltage Transformer until set-up is complete! Be sure the Main Power Circuit Breaker is in the OFF position before proceeding. This equipment should only be operated by personnel familiar with High Voltage Testing and Safety Procedures The following are examples of basic setups for performing various tests using the PHENIX test set.

- Page 18 SECTIION 5: OPERATIONAL VERIFICATION PROCEDURE WARNING This equipment should only be used by personnel familiar with High Voltage Testing and Safety Procedures. 1. Make sure that Main Power Circuit Breaker on the Control Panel is in OFF position. 2. Make sure that all electrical connections have been properly made between the Controls and High Voltage Unit, including grounds.
- Page 19 OPERATIONAL VERIFICATION PROCEDURE 14. Move short from 36 kV output to 130 kV output and ground. Set Measurement Divider Switch to 36 kV / 180 mA. Repeat step 13. Unit should trip off at approximately 4.6 mA. NOTE: Do not attempt to check 110% level of current trip under shorted output conditions. Rated output currents are only available through a capacitive load of sufficient value.
- Page 20 GENERAL TEST PROCEDURE 1. Make sure that Main Power Circuit Breaker on the Control Panel is in the Off position. 2. Make sure that all electrical connections have been properly and securely made and that the test specimen is properly connected to the High Voltage Transformer (refer to Initial Set-up Procedures). Make sure the Guard / Ground / Return Jumper Clip is set properly for test being performed.
- Page 21 SECTION 6: GUARD-GROUND-RETURN CONNECTIONS The base of the High Voltage transformer contains a currentmeter feature useful in measurement of different current sources. (Refer To Figure 6-1) Standard Mode (RTN) (Use for liner testing) The standard configuration is set up to measure the current from the high potential side of the unit under test to ground.

Page 23: Calibration
SECTION 7: CALIBRATION CAUTION Calibration should only be done by persons familiar with High Voltage testing and safety procedures. All calibrations have been done at the factory. Periodic calibration of the output voltmeter and output currentmeter should be done approximately every six months. NOTE: Refer to Electrical Diagram Section for schematics pertaining to the model number of your test set. - Page 24 CALIBRATION Overcurrent This calibration should not need adjustment (factory adjusted). If the Overcurrent Circuit is out of calibration, perform the following steps. To recalibrate the Overcurrent Circuit with the High Voltage Unit it will be necessary to connect a 15 – 20 nanofarad capacitor rated at 36 kVAC or higher to the 36 kV / 180 mA output of the High Voltage Unit.

Page 28: Checking Oil Purity / Specifications
SECTION 10: CHECKING OIL PURITY NOTE: Typical test data for the oil used by Phenix Technologies are provided at the end of this section. 1. The most reliable means of determining the purity of the oil in the field is to test the dielectric strength. Test sets for this purpose available on the market differ in design, particularly in the shape of the electrodes and the test container. - Page 29 10-2 CHECKING OIL PURITY 4. Oil Specifications Transformer oil is a high quality insulating oil specially refined and formulated to meet the exacting requirements of major electrical equipment manufacturers and users. It also meets Federal Specification VV-I- 530a. High quality mineral-based transformer oil is recommended as the insulating and cooling medium for oil- immersed transformers.
