WORK METHOD STATEMENT

Detail of Work HIPOT TEST NSPB

Date 01 – 03 - 2024 Location
ELECTRICAL ROOM 2
No Sequence of Work
1. General Requirements
- HV test must be conducted by authorised personnel
- Safety officers and commissioning personnel must witness and verify.
- All personnel involved must be authorised to enter the site.
2. Purpose
- The purpose of the HV test is to determine if there is leakage current during the voltage test.
3. Preparation
- HV test equipment must be placed on the side of the Switchgear to be tested.
- All CT secondary terminals must be removed and isolated.
- Secure the test area with safety signs (warning board/horn/etc).
- Make sure the test area is clean.
- Provide Power Supply for Hi-pot test equipment.
4. Testing steps
- Prepare drawings and tools.
- Safety Coordinate with the personnel involved about the scope of work.
- Remove all equipment that can be damaged by the HV test.
- Secure the test area for safety.
- Make sure the test area is clean.
- Perform Insulation Resistance test for 1 minute per test point before HV test.
- Discharge the residual voltage on the object to ground using a grounding stick.
- Perform DC/AC HV test and increase voltage slowly until the voltage reaches 22.4kV . Monitor
for Leakage at intervals until nominal test value is reached.
- Nominal DC Hi-pot voltage is 3 x Un (Phase to Neutral), duration 10 minutes per test point.
Refers to IEC-60298, IEC-60694.
- Nominal Voltage for AC Hi-pot test is 80% of the voltage value on the object, duration 10
minutes per test point. Refer to IEC 62271-200: 2003.
- Record the leakage current value every 1 minute.
- After 10 minutes, reduce the low voltage slowly to zero and then switch off the HV test.
- Discharge the residual voltage on the Object to Ground using a grounding stick.
- Perform the Insulation Resistance test for 1 minute per test point after the HV test.
- Discharge the residual voltage on the object to the ground using a grounding stick.
- Record everything on the form provided
Equipment, tools and machinery to be used :

- HIPOT TOOLS
- MEGGER TOOLS
