ANNEXURE-A
CORONA AND RADIO INTERFERENCE VOLTAGE (RIV) TEST
1.
General
Unless otherwise stipulated, all equipment (except Auto Transformer
& Shunt Reactor) together with its associated connectors, where
applicable, shall be tested for external corona 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).
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.
3.1
3.2
3.3
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%, 115% and 130% of the specified
RIV test voltage for all equipment unless otherwise specified.
The
specified RIV test voltage for 400 kV, 220 kV is listed in the detailed
specification together with maximum permissible RIV level in
microvolts.

relative positions of all the test equipment and test objects. These four
photographs shall be taken from four points equally spaced around
the test arrangement to show its features from all sides. Drawings of
the laboratory and test set up locations shall be provided to indicate
camera positions and angles. The precise location of camera shall be
approved by Purchasers inspector, after determining the best camera
locations by trial energisation of test object at a voltage which results
in corona.

CORONA AND RADIO INTERFERENCE VOLTAGE (RIV) TEST
1.
General
Unless otherwise stipulated, all equipment together with its associated connectors,
where applicable, shall be tested for external corona 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).
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.
3.1
RIV tests shall be made according to measuring circuit as per International SpecialCommittee 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

being recorded. The result shall be in microvolts.
3.2
Alternatively, RIV tests shall be in accordance with NEMA standard Publication No.
107-1964, except otherwise noted herein.
3.3
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%, 115% and 130% of the specified
RIV test voltage for all equipment unless otherwise specified. The specified RIV test
voltage for 400kV, 220 kV is listed in the detailed specification together with maximum
permissible RIV level in microvolts.
3.5
3.6
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 noisel meter.
4.
4.1
The test shall be recorded on each photograph. Additional photograph shall be taken
from each corona position with lights on to show the relative position of test object to
facilitate precise corona location from the photographic evidence.
4.2
In addition to photographs of the test object preferably four photographs shall be taken
of the complete test assembly showing relative positions of all the test equipment and
test objects. These four photographs shall be taken from four points equally spaced
around the test arrangement to show its features from all sides. Drawings of the
laboratory and test set up locations
Shall be provided to indicate camera positions and angles. The precise location of
camera shall be approved by Purchasers inspector, after determining the best camera
locations by trial energisation of test object at a voltage which results in corona.
4.2
The test to determine the visible corona extinction voltage need not be carried out
simultaneously with test to determine RIV levels.
4.3
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 Purchasers inspector if, in his opinion, it
will not prejudice other test.
5.
Test Records:
b)
c)
d)
e)
Test voltage shall be recorded when measured RIV passes through 100
microvolts in each direction.
f)
Onset and extinction of visual corona for each of the four tests required shall be
