SECTION-GENERAL TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS (GTR)
ANNEXURE-A
CORONA AND RADIO INTERFERENCE VOLTAGE (RIV) TEST
1. General
Unless otherwise stipulated, all equipment, shall be tested for external corona (for
400kV & above) both by observing the voltage level for the extinction of visible corona
under falling power frequency voltage and by measurement of radio interference
voltage (RIV) for 132kV and above.
2. Test Levels:
The test voltage levels for measurement of external RIV and for corona extinction
voltage are listed under the relevant clauses of the specification.
3. Test Methods for RIV:
3.1 RIV tests shall be made according to measuring circuit as per International Special-
Committee on Radio Interference (CISPR) Publication 16-1(1993) Part -1. The
measuring circuit shall preferably be tuned to frequency with 10% of 0.5 Mhz but
other frequencies in the range of 0.5 MHz to 2 MHz may be used, the measuring
frequency being recorded. The results shall be in microvolts.
3.2 Alternatively, RIV tests shall be carried out in accordance with relevant IEC of
respective equipment or NEMA standard Publication No. 107-2016.
3.3 In measurement of, RIV, temporary additional external corona shielding may be
provided. In measurements of RIV only standard fittings of identical type supplied
with the equipment and a simulation of the connections as used in the actual
installation will be permitted in the vicinity within 3.5 meters of terminals.
3.4 Ambient noise shall be measured before and after each series of tests to ensure that
there is no variation in ambient noise level. If variation is present, the lowest ambient
noise level will form basis for the measurements. RIV levels shall be measured at
increasing and decreasing voltages of 85%, 100%, and 110% of the specified RIV test
voltage for all equipment unless otherwise specified. The specified RIV test voltage for
765kV, 400 kV, 220 KV, 132kV is listed in the detailed specification together with
maximum permissible RIV level in microvolts.
3.5 The metering instruments shall be as per CISPR recommendation or equivalent device
so long as it has been used by other testing authorities.
3.6 The RIV measurement may be made with a noise meter. A calibration procedure of the
frequency to which noise meter shall be tuned shall establish the ratio of voltage at the
high voltage terminal to voltage read by noise meter.
4. Test Methods for Visible Corona
The purpose of this test is to determine the corona extinction voltage of apparatus,
connectors etc. The test shall be carried out in the same manner as RIV test described
above with the exception that RIV measurements are not required during test and a
search technique shall be used near the onset and extinction voltage, when the test
voltage is raised and lowered to determine their precise values. The test voltage shall
be raised to 110% of specified corona extinction voltage and maintained there for five
minutes. In case corona inception does not take place at 110%, test shall be stopped,
otherwise test shall be continued and the voltage will then be decreased slowly until
all visible corona disappears. The procedure shall be repeated at least 3 times with

corona inception and extinction voltage recorded each time. The corona extinction
voltage for purposes of determining compliance with the specification shall be the
lowest of the three values at which visible corona (negative or positive polarity)
disappears.
The test to determine the visible corona extinction voltage need not be carried out
simultaneously with test to determine RIV levels.
However, both test shall be carried out with the same test set up and as little time
duration between tests as possible. No modification on treatment of the sample
between tests will be allowed. Simultaneous RIV and visible corona extinction voltage
testing may be permitted at the discretion of Employer’s inspector if, in his opinion, it
will not prejudice other test.

Doc: D-5-10-30-01-05
(C) General Guidelines for Procurement of Testing Equipments
For procurement of Testing Instruments & tools, the general guide lines are under:
1. The equipment offered should have been successfully demonstrated in the Region. In case the
offered equipment is proposed to be supplied first time in the Region, a successful demonstration
has to be carried out for accuracy and repeatability of test results in the actual working condition
before considering for procurement. The demonstration of the new equipments should be done
in the most stringent condition and to be witnessed by a committee comprising of members from
RHQ and site.
2. For smooth operation of the equipments, an AMC after completion of the warranty period, for a
period of four years (additionally) may be taken by the regions for selective equipments as per
the requirements. The said clause of the AMC may be included in the technical specifications of
those equipments, wherever the necessity for AMC is felt by the regions depending upon their
experience.
3. Since the technological up-gradations are taking place at a fast pace and some times equipments
become obsolete because of technical obsolescence or irreparable due to phasing out, it is
imminent to write-off such equipments and replace the same with the latest equipments for
proper operation and maintenance of the system. A committee at regional level may be
constituted which shall evaluate the modalities for write-off due to the reasons as stated above
and approval for the same may be obtained from the Regional Head accordingly.
4. The issue of calibration of the testing equipment is already being addressed by the Regions based
on the ISO requirements and the same needs to be followed for uniform implementation.
5. With regard to finalization of make and model for vendor enlistment, it is pertinent to mention
that the standard technical specifications as mentioned in the document shall henceforth be
adopted by the Regions. Hence, it is not appropriate to finalize make and model of particular
equipment for the purpose of enlistment.
The specifications may be reviewed after a period of two years. However, as there are very fast
technological up gradations in the field of instrumentations, inclusion of an equipment with
better specifications or any modification in the existing specifications may be recommended by
the Regional Head to Corporate AM for review and approval.
The technical specification for other testing instruments which are not covered in this document
may be prepared at Regional level and may be adopted with the approval of Regional Head.
However, norms for testing instruments shall be taken as mentioned in this document.
The recommendations are based on actual requirement of substations / sites. Regional Head is
empowered to increase or decrease the quantities suitably in consultation with Corporate AM.
POWERGRID S/S is defined as S/S wholly owned and operated by POWERGRID. Requirement of
Testing Instruments for POWERGRID bays in SEB S/Ss would be met out by the Testing
Instruments stored in the nearest POWERGRID S/S. All major tools & plants are to be stored in
POWERGRID S/S stores only and shall cater the maintenance requirement for Substation and
Transmission Lines.
