Insulation Tester

CT Analyzer
Insulation Resistance Test
 Use Megger mit1020 to measure insulation resistance.
 Insulation Resistance Tests to be done:
o Primary winding - Ground (Apply 5000V for 1 minute)
o Primary winding - Secondary winding (Apply 2500V for 1 minute)
o Secondary winding - Secondary winding (Apply 2500V for 1 minute)
o Secondary - Ground (Apply 1000V for 1 minute)

CT Characteristics Test
 Use CT Analyzer to test CT Characteristics.
 Connection on CT Analyzer will be same as the shown
figure.
 Repeat the test for the other phases and the other secondary
cores.
 Refer to CT Analyzer User Manual to find how to use CT
Analyzer & how to enter CT Data.

Connection
CT Loop Resistance Test
 Measure CT resistance from CT terminal blocks (CT Side).
  Measure Loop resistance from CT terminal blocks (Load Side).
 Measure the Total Loop resistance (CT resistance + Load resistance + wiring
resistance).

CT Primary Injection Test

 Core Identification Test:
o In this test we confirm the CT secondary connection.
o Inject low current (for example: 50A).
o Use small jumper to short the CT secondary from CT box, the measurement will be gone at
panel.
o Repeat this test for all phases and cores.
 Short & Isolate Facility Test:
o In this test we confirm the CT short & isolate facility for correct connection.
o Inject low current (for example: 50A).
o Short CT links then Isolate the external wiring to confirm CT circuit will not be opened.
 Single Earth Point Test:
o For all CT Loops, each loop must have only one earth point, otherwise secondary current
will be divided.
o Open all earth point in the loop, check with buzzer that there is no earth link is closed, then
close only one point.
o For all protection & measurement CTs, Close the earth point in the nearest point to the CT.
o For High Impedance Differential Protection, Close the earth point in the nearest point to
the Relay.
 Primary Injection Test:
o After confirming all previous steps, CT is ready now to the primary injection test.
o Use the ODEN AT kit to inject high current (for example: 500A).
o Measure the secondary current in all loop up to the end of this loop.
