General Safety Precautions The general safety information presented here is for operating and service personnel. NOTICE: If the equipment is used in any manner not specified by Megger the safety protection provided by the equipment may be impaired. Due to the wide diversity of machine applications, no attempt has been made here to list or review all potentially necessary safety precautions.
EP1000’s permanent mounting position. This is necessary because there is no internal fusing or disconnect for AC power with the EP1000. Baker EP1000 71-028 EN V6 Installation Guide www.megger.com EP1000 71-028 EN V6 Installation Guide.indd 6...

Greenlee 2.5-inch punch). This is required to accommodate the through-wall dimensions of a DB25 connector at one end of the cable that connects to the EP1000 inside the cabinet. www.megger.com EP1000 71-028 EN V6 Installation Guide.indd 9 2/27/2019 1:55:06 PM...
4. Ensure that there is enough wire length to connect to the EP. If installed CTs are used, be sure to note the ratio because this information will be needed when creating a motor ID.

To address these issues, you will need to remove the EP1000 voltage inputs from the circuit for HiPOT testing. This should be accomplished using a disconnect mechanism that best applies to your specific installation.

(120 volts typical) and to the ground respectively. For medium and high-voltage motors or bus voltages greater that 600 volts, use Megger current transformers (CTs) to monitor the secondary of the CTs (5 amps typical) in the MCC.
3. Open the EXP4000 software and create a new motor id. 4. Set sensors switch to EP1000 position. 5. Click on the Run Electrical button in the EXP4000 user interface. Baker EP1000 71-028 EN V6 Installation Guide www.megger.com EP1000 71-028 EN V6 Installation Guide.indd 14...
If these criteria are met, click OK; otherwise click Cancel. Fig 9: Voltage, load, frequency warning. 3. Use the drop-down menu to select the specific CTs being used to calibrate the EP then click Next. www.megger.com EP1000 71-028 EN V6 Installation Guide.indd 15 2/27/2019 1:55:06 PM...
(EP voltage sensors) phasors must be aligned. If they are not aligned (as shown in the example below) the angle of the offending phase will be red. Fig 11: Voltages not connected properly. Baker EP1000 71-028 EN V6 Installation Guide www.megger.com EP1000 71-028 EN V6 Installation Guide.indd 16...
CTs must be connected in the same phase and direction as the EP CTs. If the EP CTs are not properly connected, you may not receive a standard phasor diagram (as shown below). Fig 13: Improper CT connection. www.megger.com EP1000 71-028 EN V6 Installation Guide.indd 17 2/27/2019 1:55:06 PM...

The calibration is iteratively calculated so it may take some time to converge. When the calibration is successful, green check boxes will appear next to each of the values. The software will then automatically continue to the next stage.

When the calibration constants have been successfully calculated and the CT connections have been properly configured, the software will begin writing the calibration information to the EP. This can take several minutes to complete. Fig 19: EP calibration save-in-progress screen. www.megger.com EP1000 71-028 EN V6 Installation Guide.indd 21 2/27/2019 1:55:06 PM...

Under no circumstances should the voltage sensing circuit be connected to higher voltage levels. This will cause severe damage to the instrument. Current terminal: use specified Megger current transformers A/D bus connector: use specified umbilical cable Input power: 5VDC 105mA (provided by EXP4000) Connect only to EXP4000 or similar CT dimensions: see drawings in “Installing the EP1000”...
