  • Page 74: Precautions To Be Observed During Measurement

    PRECAUTIONS TO BE OBSERVED DURING MEASUREMENT: To perform a measurement of resistance above 100 Gohm, use effective shielding connected to the guard terminal (grey terminal on the front panel). This avoids erroneous measurements due to the presence of leakage currents or the introduction of alternating residues. The proximity of an operator approaching his/her hand to a sample under test can distort the measurement.

    APPLICATION NOTES WHY DIELECTRIC TESTS ? The dielectric tests are performed in order: to detect manufacturing fault on electrical equipment to verify the quality of the insulating material of an electrical equipment to verify that an electrical installation has been correctly done to control the insulation resistance of an equipment or an installation to trace its changes during the years.

  • Page 188: Environmental Influences

    ENVIRONMENTAL INFLUENCES Temperature, pressure and humidity conditions have an influence on the dielectric tests results. 19.3.1. TEMPERATURE The temperature having an influence on the gas density, this one is altering the performances of the liquid or gaseous insulating material. The oils, often used as insulation are never pure, the dissolved quantity of gas increases with the temperature and is decreasing the insulation quality of the oil.

  • Page 189: Insulation Resistance Measurement

    INSULATION RESISTANCE MEASUREMENT The insulation resistance measurement is intended to verify that the various components and sub-assemblies of electrical equipment have an insulation resistance such as the leakage cur- rents do not reached inadmissible values. The principle is to apply a DC voltage, stable and specified (selected among the standard val- ues) between defined points and after a prescribed time, to measure the current flowing in the tested material.

    that case the unit indicates its maximum value and takes a long time to come back to the real measured value. C) The insulation resistance value of a capacitor being a function following a time expo- nential law, it is important to make sense to the measured value, to indicate the duration of the measurement.

    100 Mohm.km x 10 = 1,000 Mohm.km C) The insulation resistance value of a cable being a function following a time exponential law, it is important to make sense to the measured value, to indicate the duration of the measure- ment.

  • Page 192: Selection Of The Test Voltage

    19.5.1. Selection of the test voltage The dielectric strength tests intending to verify that materials or equipments comply with stand- ard requirements, it is important to refer to these standards to select the voltage. In case of no indication regarding the test voltage, a common rule is to apply the following formu- Utest = 2 x Unominal + 1,000 volts Most of the standards specify the type of the test voltage: AC (50-60 Hz) or DC.

  • Page 193: 19.5.1.2. Dielectric Strength Tests With Dc Voltage

    19.5.1.2. DIELECTRIC STRENGTH TESTS WITH DC VOLTAGE BENEFITS: * The power of the HV source can be lower than the one necessary in AC voltage (less weight and more safety for the operator). The current flows through the specimen only dur- ing the charging phase.

  • Page 194: Ground Continuity Measurement

    therefore it is possible to destroy or burn the specimen under test. The power of the HV source being limited, continued use of the OFF detection mode can trigger the built-in thermal safety switch. Under those circumstances (display of the message: INTERLOCK DISABLE) wait be- tween 3 and 5 minutes before proceeding to the tests.

  • Page 195: Test Time

    19.6.3. Test time Unlike a simple resistance measurement, the time that the current is being flowing for the ground continuity measurement is important because of the ‘Safety’ function of the tested connection. Beyond the ohm value evaluation, it is mandatory to test the quality of the connection to the ground potential (diameter of the wire, solders quality, screwing quality, ...).
