PGK HB Commissioning Ensure there is no voltage at the work place 1. Disconnect the test object from all phases. 2. Secure the test object against re-energisation. 3. Ensure that there is no voltage. 4. In the station, connect all conductors of the test object with the station earth and short- circuit it.
Commissioning PGK HB Preparing the device for the generation of DC voltage As standard, the rectifier rod for the generation of DC voltage is inserted into the HV unit. Prerequisites The connecting parts and hood of the HV unit are clean and dry.
PGK HB Commissioning 4. If the resistance rod is inserted, slowly lift it out of the tube of the HV unit. The insulating oil from the HV transformer adheres to the resistance rod. Wait around 1 minute to allow the insulating oil to drip off before pulling the resistance rod all the way out.
