  • Phase Sequence Test

    Phase Sequence Test

    Power for several sub supplies such as three phase socket channels, motors and circuits are usually provided by a three phase supply. Due to the presence of numerous different terminations, it is critical to examine correct termination of each phase. Regulation 612.12 of BS7671 states that correct phase sequence must be verified for multiphase circuits. […]

  • Dielectric Test

    Dielectric Test

    The effectiveness of the insulation of a component is determined by a dielectric withstand test, also known as high potential (hipot) test. Hipot tests are helpful in finding pilfered or crumpled insulation, stray wire strands or braided shielding, conductive or corrosive contaminants around the conductors, terminal spacing problems, and tolerance errors in cables. The test […]

  • Primary Current Injection testing of ACB & MCCB

    Primary Current Injection testing of ACB & MCCB

    The primary injection testing is used to verify the correct installation and operation of the whole protection chain. A predetermined current is injected into the circuit breaker to determine whether the relay will trip at this current and, if so, the time period the current needs to flow before the trip is initiated. Specifically, the […]

  • Secondary Current Injection testing of ACB & MCCB

    Secondary Current Injection testing of ACB & MCCB

    Secondary injection tests are usually done prior to primary injection tests. The test basis is to prove the correct operation of the protection scheme that is downstream from the inputs to the protection relays. It includes testing of protective relays and their tripping settings, verifying of all related circuits and gears included in the correct […]
