1. General
The following procedure is for site inspection and testing of Metal Clad
Switchgears.
The Metal Clad Switchgear is an assembly with an external metal enclosure in
which components are arranged in separate compartments.

2. Prerequisites
The Package substation (including RMU, Transformer & LV breaker) has be
installed.

3. Safety Precaution
See Safety Procedure ( code of practice)

4. Test Equipment
Insulation Tester (Megger) 5 kV
Multimeter
Transformer Ratiometer
Transformer Ohmmeter
External power supply

5. Test Procedure :

5.1 Transformer:

5.1.1. GENERAL INFORMATION

The Transformer shall be inspected to record ratings, serial number, etc.

5.1.2. MECHANICAL CHECK AND VISUAL INSPECTION

Mechanical check and visual inspection shall be conducted to ensure that the
Transformer is free from physical damage and that it is installed as per drawings.
Tightness, grounding and phase indications shall also be checked. Transformer Oil level
and temperature indicator shall be checked.

5.1.3. ELECTRICAL TESTS

a) Transformer Turn Ratio:

Check the Ratio between HV and LV winding in transformer at all the tap.

b) INSULATION TEST (5 kV)

Insulation test, conduct insulation test between HV to Ground, HV to LV and Lv to

Ground. Check the Polarisation Index.

Reference Document: User’s Manual for Oil type Transformer.

5.1.4. Results

To be recorded in test record , document reference RK-001-TFR.

5.2 Oil Type Transformer Assemblies

5.2.1. Mechanical check and visual inspection.

a) Inspect for physical , electrical , and mechanical conditions.

b) Inspect sections for paint , dents, scratches and missing hardware.
c) Check for proper anchorage , required area clearnces , physical damage , and proper
alignment.
d) Check tightness of bolted bus joints by using a calibrated torque wrench. (if
applicable)
e) Test all electrical and mechanical interlock systems for proper operation and
sequencing.
f) Check the mechanical parts are in normal condition at transformer.
g) Check the oil level indicator working in normal.
h) Check there is no any leakage in the transformer and near the Oil sampling point.

5.2.2. Electrical tests.

a) perform tests on all instrument transformers as described later in this section.

b) Perform insulation resistance test on HV to ground, Hv to LV and LV to ground for
ten(10) minutes.
c) Perform control wiring performance test . use the elementary diagrams of the
Transformer to identify each remote control and protective device. Conduct tests to
verify satisfactory performance of each control feature.
d) Cabliration all electrical devices in transformer.
e) Check the Aux.contacts are working in normal condition.
f) Perform the winding resistance and Ratio test for transformer.
g) Check the pressure gauge is in normal condition.
h) Check the temperature monitor device and reading.

5.5. Transformer

5.5.1. General data and information.

Check the transformers used are correct type, size and rating.

5.5.2. Mechanical check and visual inspection.

Check for any physical damages and compliance with drawings and specification.

5.5.3. Electrical Tests

a) Testing of Insulation Resistance:

Using a Megger, check the value of the phase to earth and phase to
phase insulation.

When checking the insulation resistance for transformer HV side cable should be open in RMU
side

When checking the insulation resistance for transformer LV side netural earthing cable should
be open.

Testing value for primary to ground is 5 KV for 10 minutes.

Testing Value for Primary to Secondary is 5KV for 10 minutes.
Testing value for secondary to ground is 1Kv for 10 minutes.

b) Ratio Test:

Connect 3 phase voltage to the primary side of the transformer and check
the secondary voltage according to the calculated ratio for all taps.

c) Polarity Test:

This polarity test shown in same Transformer Turn Ratiometer during ratio test.

d) Vector Group Test:

Checking the vector group test for transformer to make sure that vector group mentioned in
label is same or differ by injecting 3 phase supply in primary side and calculated as per vector
group definitation.

e) Winding Resistance Test:

Check the winding resistance test for transformer between phases in HV winding at all taps and
record the reading at test form.
Check the winding resistance test for transformer between phases in LV winding at any tap and
record the reading at test form.

f) Functional Test:

Test the functional for Oil temperature devices and make sure trip and alarm contacts
are working properly.

5.5.4. Results

To be recorded in test record, document reference RK-001-TFR.

Reference Document: User’s Manual Transformer

Note: the above Electrical tests for Transformer can be done

Automatically by using TTR, Winding Resistance test kit,
Megger, all test results must be within the range defined by the
manufacturer as per standard: IEC 60044-6 .

6. Acceptable deviation & tolerance of testing results

6.3. Transformer

All test results must be within the range defined by the manufacturer
as per standard: IEC 60044-6.
