9- Supervisory Interface Test

The tests carried out will be:
a) Initiation of the appropriate alarms or indications at source and checking that the correct
logic signals are received at the telemetry terminal (TTB) cabinet.
b) Apply a 50V DC voltage to the (TTB) cabinet terminals and check that the correct Circuit
Breaker or tap changer command is received and executed.

10 - 11kV VT Tests. www.sayedsaad.com

The tests carried out will be:

a) Insulation Test. www.sayedsaad.com
b) Flick Test. www.sayedsaad.com
The polarity of the VT will be checked by carrying out the flick test.
11 - 11kV CT Tests
The tests carried out will be:
a) Insulation Test. www.sayedsaad.com
b) Flick Test. www.sayedsaad.com
c) Resistance Test
d) Saturation Test
Where more than one CT is in each phase of a circuit, tests where practical will be carried out
to prove the CT's are positioned correctly so that arranged overlap of zones of protection is
correct This may be carried out by a) a visual inspection b) a continuity test.

Flick tests will be done on all CT's in a group to prove that they are connected to the protection in
the same polarity. These tests will also be done on CT's mounted in Transformer bushings. The
flick test results should be compared with those expected from the schematic diagrams.

All CT's will have the dc secondary loop resistance and individual secondary winding resistances
measured. www.sayedsaad.com

11/11/2017 HV Pressure Tests

The saturation tests will be carried out to prove there are no shorted turns associated with the
CT and to establish the knee point voltage of the CT's The magnetization curve will be plotted for
each CT or superimposed on the factory curves in order to determine that the correct CT is
installed.

12- 11kV Primary Injection

Tests the tests carried out will be:
a) CT Ratio and Polarity Test
b) Relay Operation Tests
c) Unit Protection Operation and Stability Tests

Primary current shall be passed through each CT to prove its ratio and polarity with reference to
other CTs in its group. All relays and instruments will be proved to be wired in the correct
phases.www.sayedsaad.com

All current "test terminals" will be checked for correct phasing, CT shorting Switches will be proved
and any withdrawable relays should have their shorting contacts checked.
Inverse time relays shall be made to "creep' on minimum setting.
Transformer biased differential protection. The group of CTs should be proved for ratio and polarity,
and the differential relay proved to operate for phase-phase, and phase-earth fault injection.

Transformer Restricted Earth F a u l t Protections. The groups of CTs shall be proved for ratio and
p o l a r i t y and stability by measuring spill currents.

13- 11kV Secondary Injection Tests

The secondary injection tests will be made to prove the relays, transducers and meters are
operating a n d measuring correctly.
Secondary injection tests will consist of 'a.c.' injection into the relay coils to prove that the relay
calibration is correct
A record of the relay type, serial number, and its setting range shall be recorded. -
The secondary current injection shall take place from the point at which the primary injection checks
were made on the CTs.
For inverse time relays, the minimum starting current for which the relay will close its contacts with
a maximum time dial setting shall be recorded. The resetting time of the disc shall b_ recorded,
and the time of operation for a current injection of twice, five times and ten times setting current.
These results should be carried out on the relays service setting (or nominal setting if service not
known). The results should be compared with the relay curve supplied by the manufacturer. Also
the time setting multiplier characteristics will be checked at 2 points (setting point +1 other point).

For all relays fitted with a mechanical flag, the flag should operate just before the contacts make and
the flag mechanism should not interfere with the operation of the relay.

The calibration of all instruments and transducers will be checked at scale and full scale by current
and/or voltage injection as appropriate.

14. 11kV Switchgear Contact Resistance Checks

The contact resistance of all primary contacts will be checked by current injection and
voltage drop measurement.

15. 11kV Switchgear Operational

11/11/2017 HV Pressure Tests

Tests The tests carried out will be:

a) Local and Remote Operations of all Circuit Breakers
b) Local and Remote Indications of above
c) Electrical Interlocks of above
d) Gas Monitoring Sequence Tests
e) Alarm Sequence Tests
f) Tripping Tests including Arc Fault Tripping scheme
www.sayedsaad.com
Sequence tests will be carried out to prove all electrical circuits are operating correctly as shown in
the schematic diagrams.
The control circuits will be tested by the manual operation of all close-trip Switches from all
positions, for all Circuit Breakers and other devices in accordance with the schematic diagrams.
The operation of all protection circuits will be proved to be in accordance with the protective gear
schematic diagrams.
The tests will be conducted by manually making every main relay contact and observing Circuit
Breaker tripping, auxiliary relay operation, lock-out relay operation and any others. Tripping
initiated by each relay in a protection scheme will be tested with the appropriate trip link in and out
to prove that the link is connected and labeled correctly.

The annunciator circuits will be proved to be in accordance with the schematic diagrams including
alarm buzzer and/or bell, lights and any other means of alerting staff.
Operation tests of the alarm circuit will be by operating, at source, each alarm initiating relay
contact, where possible,-or otherwise by simulation.
Operation of each Circuit Breaker disconnect Switch and earthing Switch will be proved to be free
or locked according to the interlock condition shown on the schematic diagrams.
