Chief Safety Hazards for the LCM500
These chief safety hazards accompany the use of the LCM500:
• Electrical hazards are always present in substations. Always keep the LCM500
and yourself within published safe-approach distances to energized conductors.
• Thunderstorms: Never operate the LCM500 when there are thunderstorms in the
area.
• Switching overvoltages: Never operate the LCM500 when switching overvoltages
are likely to occur.

Typical Figure 1 shows a typical test setup for the LCM500 system.
Hardware
Setup A
Step 1: Ground A special plug on the LCM500 has ensures that both the power supply
the System cable and the grounding wire have a good connection to the
instrument.
Follow the grounding instructions that are appropriate for your
location and power supply:
• Indoors—Connect the power supply cable to a wall socket,
making sure that the ground pin in the socket is connected to
the common grounding system (Figure 2).
Step 2: Install The CCT500 connects wirelessly to the LCM500 main unit. If the
the CCT500 CCT500 is being installed for long-term monitoring, it is advisable to
shield it against rain and snow.
To install the CCT500:
1. Press the On button on the front of the CCT500.
The probe diode indicates the probe status. See Table 7 on page 37
for information about diode behavior.
1 Arrester base
2 Surge counter
Step 3: Install The Field Probe (FP500) consists of 2 metal disks, which are antennae,
the Field Probe and one measuring unit. There is a keyhole in the center of each disk;
the two keyholes are of different sizes.
Positioning the For best results, place the FP500 below the base of the surge arrester,
Field Probe within 1 m of the base. If the FP500 is placed too far from the arrester
base, noise from other phases may create measurement error.
Correctly
In a few instances, you may need to place the FP500 in a different
position. In those situations, identify the neighbor phases, metal
structures, and electrical field density, and place the FP500 in the most
advantageous position possible.
For consistent measurements, always place the probe in the same
position when you perform a series of measurements.
It may be helpful to use a hot stick or Field Probe Rod to operate the
FP500.
Procedure To install the FP500, consult Figure 5 and follow these steps:
1. Slide the disk with the large keyhole over the top of the probe and
down to the measuring unit (item 1 in Figure 5). Firmly pull the disk
sideways so that the small end of the keyhole slides into the narrow
groove in the shaft.
2. Slide the disk with the small keyhole hole over the top of the probe.
Firmly pull the disk sideways so that the small end of the keyhole
slides into the slot at the end of the shaft (item 2 in Figure 5).

Required MOSA The MOSA to be tested must be mounted on an insulated base. Surge
Configuration arresters that are directly grounded to the system ground of the
substation, with no separate ground lead, cannot be tested by the
LCM500.
Factors Affecting Information about the resistive part of the leakage current provides
MOSA Condition insight into the condition of the metal oxide surge arrester. An
increased resistive leakage current indicates a higher risk of breakdown
of the MOSA.
In normal service, MOSAs are exposed to such stresses as normal
operating voltage, temporary overvoltages, switching overvoltages,
lightning overvoltages, and external pollution. Separately or in various
combinations, these stresses may cause an increase of the resistive
component of the continuous resistive leakage current through the
arrester. This increase may exceed the critical limit and cause arrester
failure.
Normalized Data Using arrester system data, ambient temperature, and operating
voltage, the LCM500 automatically normalizes resistive leakage current
(lr corr) data to a standard ambient temperature (20 °C/68 °F) and
operating voltage (70% of the arrester’s rated voltage). The normalized
data make it easy to compare measurements performed under
different conditions.
You can use the resistive leakage current data in several ways to
evaluate arrester condition:
• Perform a trend analysis: Compare the normalized resistive
leakage current level to previous measurements on the same
arrester to reveal significant changes over time.
• Compare the normalized resistive leakage current to the
maximum recommended level specified by the arrester
manufacturer.
• Compare the normalized resistive leakage currents from one
arrester to the same test results for arresters of the same type
or make, or for arresters in the same region.
Additional The LCM500 instrument can be applied for testing surge arresters in
Application Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS). For this purpose, an extra GIS
connector box is required (TN-20817). During the test, the box is
connected to the voltage transformer and field probe. For more
information, ask Doble for an application note.
