SUMMARY OF TEST DATA

Contact Resistance Test @1 Amp


Phase Result
A 1.501 mΩ
B 1.669 mΩ
C 1.741 mΩ

In accordance with ANSI/NETA MTS-2015 standards, micro-ohm or millivolt drop values should not exceed the high levels of
the normal range as indicated in the manufacturer’s published data. If manufacturer’s data is not available, investigate any
values which deviate from adjacent poles or similar switches by more than 50% of the lowest value.

Remarks: Satisfactory

systems other than transformer and motor windings (20°C)
2500 VDC = 5000 MΩ

*Correction factors used are based on ANSI/NETA MTS-2015 Table 100.14.1: Insulation Resistance Conversion Factors

Test results are dependent on the temperature of the insulating material and the humidity of the surrounding environment at
the time of the test. Insulation-resistance test data may be used to establish a trending pattern. Deviations from the baseline
information permit evaluation of the insulation.

FINDINGS
Physical inspection indicates that there are no noticeable signs of corrosion or dents.
During the testing, it was observed that the counter reading did not change after the unit was operated, which is the
reason for the same AS-FOUND and AS-LEFT reading in this report.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the satisfactory results of contact resistance test and circuit breaker operational tests which are in line
with the standards set by ANSI/NETA MTS-2015, we conclude that the circuit breaker can be safely energized and
operated.
On the case of some values of insulation resistance not meeting the standard set by ANSI/NETA MTS-2015, further
evaluation and investigation through the analysis of the insulation resistance trend is advised. However, since we
have no previous insulation resistance test results for this particular unit, trend analysis is not possible and we can
only use the current values as baseline for future tests.
It is recommended to conduct periodic electrical testing on the unit to prevent potential problems from happening.
Generally, conducting annual electrical testing on vacuum circuit breakers is considered as good practice.
