Testing & Commissioning

A.Factory Test
Factory Test 7500V dc Hi-pot
Test
100% test before delivery
Insulation = 10M/ ft
(IEC require 1M/ ft )
Check weak point of insulation

Testing & Commissioning

B. On Site Test
Mega test before any energizing
NEMA:
M =100/ Length of Busduct in Ft (1000V)
Reading of individual busduct normally
> 10 M

Insulation test recommended by NEMA
Check at least 1 per year
Check after electrical short circuit or ground
fault
Visual inspection on joints and terminals
Remove damp or clean dust when necessary
