 CT testing.
3.0 Reference
 Approved schematic drawing
 Project HSE Plan
 Project Quality Plan
 Tender Specification
4.0 Man power
a) Project Engineer (permit holder) -01
b) Testing Engineer (DCRP) - 01
c) HSE Officer - 01
d) Technician - 01
5.0 Procedure
 Ensure that all reference documents are available at site.
 Ensure that valid permits are obtained from concerned authorities wherever
applicable.
 Ensure only trained persons shall operate the power tools.
 Ensure all concerned personals shall use PPE and all other items are required.
 Ensure adequate lighting is provided in the working area at night time.
 Ensure service area/work area openings are provided with barricade, tape and safety
nets.
 Ensure that wiring is done as per the schematic and wiring drawings
6.0 Preparation for testing

TRANSFORMER

 All materials and relevant documentation to this testing works shall be checked by the
responsible personnel prior to the commencement of testing activities.
 Before any item of equipment is accepted for testing a visual inspection will be
carried out on that equipment. Where defective equipment is found it will be reported
to consultant for further action.
 The testing electrical engineer/supervisor should confirm the availability of necessary
single phase for testing activities.
 The testing electrical engineer/supervisor should confirm the availability of proper
access to the site area in which the equipment has to be tested.
 The testing engineer will instruct the supervisor regarding the testing works and will
arrange for all necessary schematic drawings and test formats to be available at the
testing area.
 The supervisor will check that all the necessary tools and equipment’s to be used for
testing are available in the testing area.
 After the testing work is completed, the supervisor checks all the testing equipment
and returns to the storage cabin.
 While carrying out the testing work the testing engineer will fill all the necessary test
formats. After completion of testing work the testing engineer will obtain the
signature of relevant officials: consultant.
7.0 Current Transformer testing:
The following CT testing are carried out at site.
7.1 Visual inspection
7.2 IR test
7.3 Secondary winding resistance test
7.4 Knee point voltage test
7.5 Ratio & polarity test
7.1 Visual inspection:
 Damage, paint, cracks checks.
 Tightness checks
 Earthing connection checks
 ‘Labels/Marking rating plate correctness checks

 Ferrules/terminal numbering checks


7.2 IR test:
 Before proceeding to IR test ensure all the earth links are open condition in switchgear.
 Apply high voltage (5kV) with IR tester to each phase in CT primary with reference to
ground and measure the resistance value.
 Then measure the Insulation Resistance between Secondary to Earth, Primary to Secondary,
Secondary to Secondary with 500V.

7.3 Secondary winding resistance test:


 Measure the winding resistance of all the secondary cores of the CT with CPC 100

7.4 Knee point voltage test:

 Keep the primary circuit of the CT open and set voltage at secondary side by CPC 100 with
respect to Vk given in the name plate and observe the auto generated graph between Vk and
Imag.

7.5 Ratio & polarity test:


 Before starting the ratio test ensure all the secondary cores are shorted except the measuring
CT secondary core.
 Apply current to the primary of the current transformer according to ratio of the secondary
core with CPC 100 and measure the ratio.
 Check the polarity of the secondary core with respect to primary core by CPC 100 while
doing the Ratio test.
