    - Cable for connecting the measuring electrodes - Measurement spikes - 2 keys - Instruction manual If you notice any reception issue, immediately contact the carrier and/or CIRCUTOR after-sales service. 1�2�- TRANSPORTATION AND HANDLING Transportation, loading and unloading and handling of the device must be carried out with the appropriate precautions and manual or mechanical tools to avoid de- terioration.
  • Page 7: 1�3�- Storage

    GETEST The centre of gravity of some device may be at a considerable height. Therefore, when it is handled by forklifts, it is advisable to hold the device properly and not make sudden manoeuvres. It is advisable not to suspend the device at a height greater than 20 cm from the ground. To unload and move the device, a forklift with shovels must be used, which should cover the entire depth of the base.
  • Page 8: 2�- Product Description

    GETEST 2.- PRODUCT DESCRIPTION GETEST is an device that measures the step and contact voltages that can appear in transformation centres, substations and high voltage lines. To carry out the measurements, the device injects current during a mains cycle (20 ms), providing up to 50 A for a maximum earth resistance of 10 Ω.
  • Page 9: 3�- Device Installation

    GETEST 3.- DEVICE INSTALLATION 3�1�- PRELIMINARY RECOMMENDATIONS The installation, operation and maintenance of LV device must only be carried out by authorised installers. The complementary technical instruction ITC-BT-03 develops the provisions of article 22 of the Low Voltage Electrotechnical Regulation, establishing the conditions and requirements that must be observed for the certification of the competence and the corresponding administrative authorisation of the approved installers in the application field for Low Voltage Electrotechnical...
  • Page 10: 3�2�- Installation

    GETEST 3�2�- INSTALLATION The GETEST can be powered directly from the mains (230 V~ and 50 Hz) or from a single-phase generator set. The required power of the generator set will come as a function of the value of the loop resistance of the circuit.
  • Page 11 GETEST 3�3�- GTEST Probe: MEASUREMENT ELECTRODE The GTEST Probe measurement electrode is an accessory that simplifies feed-through and contact voltage measurements by replacing the 25 kg weights. The measurement electrodes allow a person to use their weight to make the measurement. Because the GETEST device can generate up to 600 V~, the measurement electrode is properly insulated.

  • Page 16 GETEST The thermo-magnetic switch and the safety key are independent devices, and act directly on the mains supply (switch) or on the output current (safety key). In this way, even in the unlikely failure of software / hardware, these two devices allow to avoid the current injection. 11�- Once the test is completed, on the Results screen of the application, all the results can be consulted Figure 6...

    GETEST 4�4�- TEST TYPES 4�4�1�- CONNECTION OF THE HARDWARE GROUND AND AUXILIARY GROUND Connect one of the current injection terminals of the GETEST (Ip) to the hardware or protection ground of the transformation centre or substation. Do not confuse the hardware ground fittings with the service ground, even though in some grounding systems these are interconnected.
  • Page 18: 4�4�2�- Step Voltage

    GETEST Regardless of the type of test, the auxiliary ground must suffice to allow for correct measurements to be taken. A bad auxiliary ground adds series resistance to the circuit, which reduces the performance of the device, thereby limiting the capacity to inject current. If you try to take the measurements with a high auxiliary ground, an Error message appears on the application screen, warning of this situation.

START-UP Measurements must be carried out respecting at all times the diagrams and warnings outlined in this manual. Otherwise the obtained values might be erroneous. Do not touch the metal surfaces during the measurements.

    GETEST Measurements must be carried out respecting at all times the diagrams and warnings outlined in this manual. Otherwise the obtained values might be erroneous. Pouring water around the auxiliary land (spikes system) or increasing the number of spikes are measures that can solve the problem. 4�5�- WARNING AND ERROR MESSAGES Table 6 shows the warning and error messages that may occur during the test.
