Learn how to set up the EGIL200 for testing a motion measurement. This application note includes transducer example for relative measurement with common mechanism, with both analogue and digital types.

Learn how to set up EGIL200 for test with minimum pick up voltage. The minimum pickup voltage test is made to check at what minimum voltage the circuit breaker operates.

This application note informs about how to perform a micro-ohmmeter test of breakers with both sides grounded. Valid for both Mjölner 200 and Mjölner 600

Testing on circuit breakers having a current transformer in the loop

The fault current is set to 80mA tosimulatethe high current generated at the intermittent earth fault. The zero voltage is set to 20V;theconfiguration ismade in13 states.The fault states and the first two memory states are set to 20ms. The memory states havetimesselected togetthetrip as close to set time 1,2s as possible. In generator configuration,set U4gen to aux voltage DC.Set “Advanced mode” in SVERKER configuration.

Reducing the risk of failure on high voltage instrument transformers in the transmission system using the application of narrowband dielectric frequency response (NB DFR) on HV CVTs.

This is an easy solution to measure the impedance values for cables, the values are used for calculation of compensation factor in distance protection.The compensation factor is first theoretically calculated and these values can now be compared with the measured values.

The test and maintenance of electrical components on rolling stock is not an easy job to do. Some maintainers dismount some of the parts and bring them to a central location for revision and maintenance. This is a cumbersome and time consuming exercise. In many cases, the electrical parts are replaced only when they break down and are not subject to periodical testing. This of course holds a risk as some parts, e.g. circuit breakers, are crucial for safety reasons.

The Power Grid Corporation of India Limited (PGCIL) is an Indian state-owned company headquartered in Gurugram (North India) engaged mainly in Trans-mission  of  Power  and  transmits  about  50%  of  the  total  power  generated  in  India  on  its  transmission  network.  The  company  owns  and  operates  about  1,61,790  circuit  kms  of  transmission  lines  at  800/765 kV,  400 kV,  220 kV  &  132 kV EHVAC and +500 kV HVDC levels and 248 sub-stations. Also, it has the transformation capacity of about 396 825 MVA as of 30th November 2019.

When measuring very low resistance the four-wire test method has for many years been the standard method. The main advantage being that it simply and easily removes the resistance of the test leads from the measurement. However, what happens when those test leads need to be verylong?
