  • Page 19: Section 5: Operational Verification Procedure

    SECTION 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 20 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 21 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 22: Section 6: Guard-Ground-Return Connections

    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 24: Section 7: 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 annually. NOTE: Refer to Electrical Diagram Section for schematics pertaining to the model number of your test set.
  • Page 25 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 26: Section 8: Troubleshooting

    Check main facility input power to the test set. Check all control and switch settings. Check indicating lamps. (Spare lamps are available through Phenix Technologies.) Check Fuse F1/F1, F2 Check operation of main power circuit breaker (CB1). Main Power lamp should be on.

  • Page 29: Section 10: Checking Oil Purity

    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 30 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.
