Checking the circuits of the low-voltage equipment

Internal arcing and explosion hazard
If a voltage transformer is short-circuited, there will be a considerable current flow. This
considerable current flow implies the risk of internal arcing, and the voltage transformer
can explode and produce a fire. Death, serious injury and considerable property damage
can be the consequence.
➭ Never short-circuit voltage transformers on the secondary side.
➭ Check the voltage transformer circuits from the voltage transformer to the secondary fuse
or short-circuit protective device for short circuits.
➭ Check correct operation of the existing protective devices in the voltage transformer
secondary circuit.
➭ Check the current transformer circuits according to the circuit diagrams.
➭ Check the functions of all protection devices with a secondary test unit for relays.
28.4

Checking high-voltage connections

➭ Check the tightening torque of the fixing bolts of the cable plugs according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
➭ Check the earthing of the cable termination on all high-voltage cables.
28.5

Checking electrical connections

➭ Check the screw-type connections of the devices in the low-voltage compartment at
random with the torque wrench.
➭ Check the plug-in connections of the devices in the low-voltage compartment at random.
➭ Check auxiliary cable connections on devices and terminal blocks at random.
➭ Check all auxiliary cable connections on current transformer terminals including slides and
jumpers in the low-voltage compartment.
➭ Check the designation labels on the terminal blocks.
➭ Replace missing labels using the information given in the circuit diagrams.

Checking protection against environmental influences

For touch-up work on doors and front parts, a paint pen is available on request.
➭ Touch up surface damages.
