1. MECHANICAL OPERATION TEST

(acc. to IEC 62271-200 clause 7.102)

Purpose
This test shall be carried out to ensure the correct mechanical operation of the Switchgear
and that all-mechanical interlock operates correctly.

Preliminary Conditions
- Switchgear completely assembled.
- Auxiliary circuit supplies available.

Procedure

1.1 Check the correct closing of doors.

1.2 Check that the shutters are automatically and fully closed when the circuit
breaker/vacuum contactors is withdrawn out from the switchgear panel.

1.3 Check the impossibility of either inserting or isolating the circuit breaker when closed.

1.4 Check that the mechanical interlock prevents the circuit breaker contacts closing if the
truck is positioned between service and test position.

1.5 Check that the circuit breaker cannot be inserted into service position when the earthing
switch is closed.

1.6 Check that the earthing switch cannot be closed when the circuit breaker is in service
position

1.7 Check the signaling of the mechanical indicators.

1.8 Check that the circuit breaker cannot be inserted into service position when the
secondary contacts plug has not been fitted.

1.9 Check the impossibility disconnects the secondary contacts plug of the circuit breaker
when the circuit breaker is in service position.

1.10 Check the functionality of the key interlocks, if provided and the difference in code

1.11 Check the signaling of the mechanical indicators

3. POWER FREQUENCY VOLTAGE WITHSTAND TEST ON THE MAIN CIRCUIT

(acc. to IEC 62271-200clause 7.1)

Purpose
Dielectric test is performed to verify if the insulation of live parts is satisfactory and to
permit the Switchgear to be energized.

Preliminary conditions

Procedure

Carry out the main circuits power frequency voltage withstand test among each phase in
succession and the earthed one. The circuit breakers / LBS are closed.

Kv, AC per 60sec for each phase in succession

The test voltage will be as follows:

20 KV, AC per 60 sec. for rated insulation voltage 7.2 Kv.

28KV, AC per 60 sec. for rated insulation voltage 12 Kv.

38KV, AC per 60 sec. for rated insulation voltage 17.5 Kv.

50KV, AC per 60 sec. for rated insulation voltage 24 Kv.

70KV, AC per 60 sec. for rated insulation voltage 36 Kv.

For Second time the value should be 80%
