    FAQs for Primary Current Injection Testing

    What is Primary Current Injection Testing?

    Primary Current Injection Testing is a method used to verify the correct installation and operation of circuit breakers, including Air Circuit Breakers (ACB) and Molded Case Circuit Breakers (MCCB), by injecting a predetermined current into the circuit and observing the trip response.

     

    Why is Primary Current Injection Testing important?

    This testing is crucial for ensuring that the protection mechanisms of circuit breakers operate correctly under various current loads, thereby preventing potential electrical failures and enhancing the overall safety and reliability of electrical systems.

     

    Where is Primary Current Injection Testing performed?

    Testing is typically conducted in high-voltage environments, such as substations, and can be performed in various settings, including industrial facilities, commercial buildings, and healthcare establishments across the UAE.

     

    How does Primary Current Injection Testing work?

    During the test, a portable primary current injection test set injects a specified current into the circuit breaker. The time taken for the relay to trip is documented, allowing for assessment of the breaker's performance under overload and fault conditions.

     

    What types of circuit breakers can be tested using this method?

    Primary Current Injection Testing is suitable for both Air Circuit Breakers (ACB) and Molded Case Circuit Breakers (MCCB), ensuring comprehensive evaluation of the protection systems for various brands and models.

     

    How often should Primary Current Injection Testing be performed?

    It is recommended to conduct this testing at least annually or whenever significant modifications to the electrical system occur, such as the installation of new equipment or changes to load conditions.

     

    What are the benefits of using Cornerstone for Primary Current Injection Testing?
